1 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: Tuesday, March 11, 2025
TO: CITY COUNCIL
WRITTEN BY: PUBLIC WORKS & UTILITIES ASSISTANT DIRECTOR GREEN RECOMMENDED BY: PUBLIC WORKS & UTILITIES DIRECTOR LINDBERG APPROVED BY: TAMARA VIDES, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS AND ADVERTISING FOR BIDS FOR THE RECYCLED WATER FACILITY ELECTRICAL UPGRADES, PROJECT RW-25-01 RECOMMENDATION:
Approve plans and specifications and call for bids for the Recycled Water Treatment Facility (RWTF) Electrical Improvements Project.
BACKGROUND:
Plans and specifications have been completed for the Recycled Water Facility Electrical Upgrades, Project RW-25-01, requiring Council action.
DISCUSSION:
Carollo Engineers completed a study of the RWTF in 2024 to provide a condition assessment and recommendations for equipment and operational improvements. One recommendation was to plan to replace the existing 350 horsepower (hp) variable frequency drives (VFDs) and smaller MCC VFDs, and to add modifications to the existing electrical equipment to allow for connection of portable standby power in the case of an emergency or planned shutdown.
On September 10, 2024, Council approved Resolution No. 182-24 (CM) awarding an engineering design contract to Beecher Engineering, Inc., for the recommended electrical project described above. The scope of the project was coordinated with the Pajaro Valley Water Management Agency (PV Water) who reimburses the City for the operation, maintenance and repair costs associated with the City’s Recycled Water Treatment Facility.
The plans and specifications have been prepared, and the engineer’s estimate for this project is $1,350,000.
The City’s Project Labor Agreement is not applicable to this project as it will employ less than three labor trades.
Staff therefore recommends that Council approve the plans and specifications and authorize the call for bids for the RWTF Electrical Improvements Project.
1 CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION:
This project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to Section 15301(b), because it involves the repair, maintenance, and minor alteration of existing electrical equipment for a publicly-owned sewerage utility. Further, none of the exceptions to the CEQA exemption apply. This is because the project will have no impacts on environmental resources of hazardous or critical concern and will not result in or contribute to cumulative impacts.
There are no unusual circumstances associated with the project that would result in a significant effect on the environment, nor would the project impact scenic resources. The project is not situated on a hazardous waste site, and would not impact any historic resource. Therefore, the proposed project is exempt from CEQA.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
This action is consistent with Strategic Plan Goal:
02 - Infrastructure & Environment
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no financial impact at this time. An appropriation of funds in the Recycled Water Operation and Maintenance budget will be requested at the time of contract bid award.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
No reasonable alternatives are known at this time.

1 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: Tuesday, March 11, 2025
TO: CITY COUNCIL
WRITTEN BY: PUBLIC WORKS & UTILITIES ENGINEERING ASSOCIATE GREGORIO RECOMMENDED BY: PUBLIC WORKS & UTILITIES DIRECTOR LINDBERG APPROVED BY: TAMARA VIDES, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: APPROVE CONTRACT CHANGE ORDER NO. 2 ADDING TO THE SCOPE OF WORK AND INCREASING THE COMPENSATION BY $78,688.91 WITH TOP TIER GRADING, LLC., FOR THE UPPER STRUVE SLOUGH WETLAND ENHANCEMENT PUBLIC ACCESS PROJECT, NO. SD-23-11092
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution approving Contract Change Order No. 2, adding to the scope of work and increasing the compensation by $78,668.91 with Top Tier Grading, Inc. LLC., for the Upper Struve Slough Wetland Enhancement Public Access Project for a total contract amount of $384,987.91 for additional work not included in the original contract scope, and authoring and directing the City Manager to execute same.
BACKGROUND:
On September 26, 2023, City Council approved resolution number 188-23 (CM) to award a construction contract to Top Tier Grading, LLC., a limited liability company, for the Upper Struve Slough Wetland Enhancement Public Access Project, No. SD-23-11092, in the amount of $299,299.00. Over the course of construction, unforeseen site conditions were encountered, requiring additional work. A change order is required to increase the contract, in an amount requiring Council approval.
DISCUSSION:
Construction began on the executed construction contract in late summer. On August 27, 2024, Change Order Number No. 1 in the amount of $7,000 was executed to add a bond and contract language required by the project grant funding program. This change order was within the approval and signing authority of the Director of Public Works, and Council approval was not required.
Throughout construction, the contractor encountered additional unforeseen site conditions that differed from the scope of work included in the original contract. These additional scope items included the following, which were tracked on a time and materials basis:
2 1. Additional repair/clean up of coffer dam after the rain event
2. Install 400 lineal feet of additional 8-inch pipe
3. Install additional rip rap class 3 rock for stabilization
4. Off-haul of unanticipated debris/unsuitable soil material
5. Excavation and handling of unanticipated debris/garbage The contractor submitted a request for a change order for the added work in the total amount of $78,688.91. Staff has reviewed the time and materials daily extra work tags and costs, and found them to be reasonable. It is therefore recommended that Contract Change Order No. 2 be approved in the amount of $78,688.91 for a revised total contract amount not to exceed $384,987.91.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION:
On September 26, 2023, the City submitted a Notice of Exemption for the Upper Struve Slough Enhancement Project citing Section 15333 Class 33 for CEQA. No changes to the categorical exemption are necessary because the amendment merely adds funds to the contract to cover the costs of the extra work that was completed. It proposes no changes to the project that would require additional environmental analysis, and none of the conditions described in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 for the preparation of a subsequent EIR have been met.
No substantial changes involving new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified effects are proposed, and there has been no change in circumstances. Therefore, no further CEQA action is needed.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
This recommendation is consistent with the following Council Strategic Goals:
02 - Infrastructure & Environment
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There are sufficient funds available in the Fiscal Year 24/25 budget to pay for Change Order No. 2 as follows:
$58,688.91 from Budget Account 0710-543-7326 and $20,000 from Budget Account 911-7855-14409.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
No reasonable alternatives known at this time. The work has been completed, and the project is ready for completion.

1 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: Tuesday, March 11, 2025
TO: CITY COUNCIL
WRITTEN BY: PUBLIC WORKS & UTILITIES ASSISTANT DIRECTOR GREEN RECOMMENDED BY: PUBLIC WORKS & UTILITIES DIRECTOR LINDBERG APPROVED BY: TAMARA VIDES, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: FIRST CONTRACT AMENDMENT WITH MICHAEL K. NUNLEY AND ASSOCIATES, INC. (MKN) IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $250,000 AND FOR ADDITIONAL ON-CALL
AND AS-NEEDED WASTEWATER DIVISION ENGINEERING SUPPORT SERVICES FOR A TOTAL REVISED CONTRACT AMOUNT OF $500,000 AND CO
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution approving a First Amendment to the contract with Michael K. Nunley & Associates, Inc. (MKN), (1) amending the compensation to increase the contract amount by $250,000 for a revised total amount not to exceed $500,000, for the continuation of on-call and as-needed Wastewater Division Professional Engineering Support; (2) extending the contract term to June 30, 2026; (3) authorizing and directing the City Manager to execute the First Amendment; and (4) authorizing budget transfer within the Sewer Enterprise Fund to cover the cost of the amendment.
BACKGROUND:
MKN has been providing professional engineering support services to the Wastewater Division on an as-needed basis for the past year. As a utility engineering position remains unfilled, staff recommend extending the contract for an additional year and adding an additional $250,000 to the contract, requiring Council action.
DISCUSSION:
MKN was selected from the list of qualified On-Call Water and Wastewater Design Services firms selected from the RFP issued by the City in July 2023. At the July 9, 2024, Council Meeting, Resolution No. 148-24 (CM) was adopted authorizing the execution of a contract with MKN in an amount not to exceed $250,000 to provide as-needed services based on their expertise in wastewater-specific engineering and their experience in providing engineering support services to the City.
2 The City continues to be unable to fill the full-time Principal Engineer position allocated to support Wastewater Division projects. MKN has successfully provided professional engineering support services to the Wastewater Division, and several ongoing and upcoming projects that require continuation of this engineering support.
Staff therefore recommend that a first amendment be executed with MKN in an amount not to exceed $250,000 for asneeded engineering support services for the Wastewater Division for a total contract amount of $500,000, and that the contract completion date be extended an additional year to June 30, 2026.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION:
Approval of the professional services agreement is not a project pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it can be seen with certainty based on substantial evidence in the record that the approval constitutes a government fiscal activity that does not involve any commitment to any specific project that may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment. (CEQA guidelines section 15378(b)(4).) Further, the approval is an administrative activity that would not have the potential to either (1) cause a direct Physical change in the environment or (2) cause a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. Therefore, any CEQA analysis would be speculative at this time.
Even if approval of the professional services agreement were to be considered a project under CEQA, it would be exempt pursuant to CEQA guidelines section 15061(b)(3). The agreement amendment approval is an administrative action involving no physical change in the environment, and does not enable or otherwise effect development.
Therefore, no CEQA action is required at this time.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
This action is consistent with Strategic Plan goal:
02 - Infrastructure & Environment
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
This professional engineering services amendment in the amount of $250,000 will be funded in whole by the Sewer Enterprise Fund budget account 0710-530-7307 as follows: $80,000 in Fiscal Year 24/25, remaining balance of $170,000 in Fiscal Year 25/26.

No reasonable alternatives are known at this time.

WHEREAS, on July 9, 2024, Council adopted Resolution No. 148-24 (CM) awarding a Contract for Consultant Engineering Services to Michael K. Nunley & Associates, Inc., a corporation, (MKN) for engineering support services to the Wastewater Division, in an amount not to exceed $250,000; and
WHEREAS, this First Amendment will increase the contract compensation by $250,000 for a total revised contract amount of $500,000, extend the completion date to June 30, 2026, and authorize budget transfer within the Sewer Enterprise Fund.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WATSONVILLE, CALIFORNIA, AS FOLLOWS:
1. This action is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4), in that adopting a Resolution amending a contract does not meet CEQA's definition of a “project,” because the action does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and because the action constitutes organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment and if a “project,” is exempt under the “common sense” exception (14 Cal. Code Regs. §
Reso No. (CM)
Reference: Reso No. 148-24

Michael K. Nunley & Associates, Inc. (MKN) is pleased submit our proposal to the City of Watsonville (City) to provide continued as-needed program management support for the City of Watsonville for wastewater program and infrastructure project management support as staffing changes are occurring.
PROJECT BACKGROUND AND UNDERSTANDING
The City owns and operates a wastewater collection system, a wastewater treatment plant and a recycled water treatment plant among other facilities and programs. The City recently went through staffing changes in their Wastewater Division, and Staff had requested MKN’s Principal Engineer, Adam Bugielski, and Senior Project Manager, Becca Bugielski, to assist in performing program management services when the project workload exceeds the City’s staffing levels. MKN’s team have provided these services for the past seven months assisting City Staff on over sixteen projects or initiatives. At this time City staff have requested an additional proposal for continued services as the current contract is running out of funds.
SCOPE OF WORK
MKN will provide the City with the following services as needed:
Preparing Request for Proposal/Qualifications;
Grant Funding applications;
Managing and reviewing consultants deliverables;
Coordination with City Engineering and Operations Staff; Providing minor design services and project studies;
Developing project specification in City format;
Assisting with compliance monitoring and reporting required by the Water Quality Control Board; Assisting during the bid and construction phases of projects; and Assisting with staffing for on-call WWTP contract operator support Chief Plant Operator advisory support
Each project or task will vary based on the specific scope and current phase, however our Program Management Team is experienced and prepared to efficiently support the Wastewater Division at any stage. We are supported by local engineering staff in our San Jose office, as well as technical resources in other MKN offices.

1 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: Tuesday, March 11, 2025
TO: CITY COUNCIL
WRITTEN BY: INTERIM WASTEWATER DIVISION MANAGER TELLEZ
RECOMMENDED BY: PUBLIC WORKS & UTILITIES DIRECTOR LINDBERG APPROVED BY: TAMARA VIDES, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: AUTHORIZATION OF A PURCHASE ORDER FOR SOLE SOURCE PURCHASE WITH
TROJAN TECHNOLOGIES CORP, FOR REPLACEMENT AND SPARE PARTS NEEDED IN THE WATER RECYCLING FACILITY IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $237,597.44 RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution authorizing the sole source purchase order with Trojan Technologies Corporation, for the purchase of proprietary spare parts for the Recycled Water Facility in the amount of $237,597.44, authorize and direct City Manager to execute the same, and authorize a budget appropriation in the same amount from the Wastewater Enterprise Fund to budget account 0710-532-7324.
BACKGROUND:
In the annual maintenance assessment of the Trojan UV treatment process area of the Recycle Water Facility, City Operations staff inventoried and identified various replacement and spare parts that are proprietary to Trojan Technologies Corp. and, therefore, require a sole-source purchase order approval by Council.
DISCUSSION:
The City owns and operates a wastewater recycling facility (the Recycled Water Facility) that produces and delivers irrigation water to the Pajaro Valley Water Management Agency (PVWMA) who has distribution customers throughout the Pajaro Groundwater Basin. PVWMA reimburses the City for costs associated with operating and maintaining the facility. The system contains various treatment processes, including a Trojan brand ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system used to disinfect the recycled water consistent with Title 22 State regulations. Maintenance is required on an ongoing basis that requires a supply of Trojan-proprietary parts to be utilized in the existing UV equipment. These parts can only be purchased through Trojan Technologies Corporation.
2 Subdivision (c) of § 3-5.210 exempts supplies and materials which are unique, available only from one source, or sought to match existing equipment or supplies already in use (also known as a sole source purchase). Staff, therefore, recommends City Council authorize and direct City Manager to issue a sole source purchase order to Trojan Technologies Corporation for the purchase of necessary replacement equipment and supplies for the UV equipment located in the Recycled Water Treatment Facility. The total requested amount of the purchase order is $237,597.44 which is the cost of the proprietary parts plus a 5% allowance for freight which is billed at time of shipment.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION:
This purchase of replacement parts is not a project under CEQA, as it does not have the potential to result in either direct physical change or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. Exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5).
STRATEGIC PLAN:
This purchase is consistent with the Strategic Plan Priority:
02 - Infrastructure & Environment
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The amount for this purchase order is $237,597.44. There is not sufficient budget available in the Water Recycling Operations & Maintenance Budget, requiring a budget appropriation in the amount of $237,597.44 from the Wastewater Enterprise Fund to Recycled Water budget account number 0710--532-7324. It should be noted that all expenses paid from this budget for the operation and maintenance of the Recycled Water Treatment Facility are reimbursed by PVWMA on a quarterly basis, which will be returned to the Wastewater Enterprise Fund.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
No reasonable alternative is known. If the repairs are not made, the Trojan UV equipment will continue to deteriorate which could have a significant impact on recycled water delivery through the growing season.

SAME AMOUNT
WHEREAS, competitive bidding requirements for the purchase of supplies, equipment and non-personal contractual services and the sale of personal property are set forth in Chapter 5 of Title 3 of the Municipal Code; and WHEREAS, subdivision (c) of § 3-5.210 exempts supplies and materials which are unique, available only from one source, or sought to match existing equipment or supplies already in use (also known as a sole source purchase); and WHEREAS, City staff is requesting a sole source purchase of proprietary replacement and spare parts from Trojan Technologies Corporation; and WHEREAS, the equipment, supplies and nonprofessional services described are unique and available only from one source, and match the existing equipment or supplies already in use at the City’s Recycled Water Treatment Facility Trojan Ultraviolet Disinfection System.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF WATSONVILLE, CALIFORNIA, AS FOLLOWS:
1. This action is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5), in that approving a sole source purchase order for replacement and spare parts for the Recycled
Reso No. (CM)
Meeting Date: 031125
2 Water Ultraviolet Disinfection System does not meet CEQA's definition of a “project,” because the action does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and because the action constitutes organizational or administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment and if a “project,” is exempt under the “common sense” exception (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15061(b)(3)) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that this action may have a significant effect on the environment.
2. The Council finds that the purchase of replacement and spare parts for the Recycled Water Ultraviolet Disinfection System is available from one source that meets the needs of the City (also known as a sole source purchase).
3. This purchase is exempt from the purchasing procedures of Chapter 5 of Title 3 of the Municipal Code as a sole source purchase under subdivision (c) of § 3-5.210 of the Municipal Code.
4. That the Council hereby approves the purchase of replacement and spare parts for the Recycle Water Ultraviolet Disinfection System from Trojan Technologies Corporation, in an amount not to exceed $237,597.44.
5. That the City Manager is hereby authorized and directed to execute said purchase order for and on behalf of the City of Watsonvillewith minor revisions that may be approved by the City Manager and the City Attorney.
6. That a budget appropriation from the Sewer Enterprise Fund to the Water Recycling Operation and Maintenance Budget account number 0710-532-7324 in the amount of $237,597.44, is hereby approved.

1 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: Tuesday, March 11, 2025
TO: CITY COUNCIL
WRITTEN BY: Assistant Public Works & Utilities Director/City Engineer Murray Fontes RECOMMENDED BY: PUBLIC WORKS & UTILITIES DIRECTOR LINDBERG APPROVED BY: TAMARA VIDES, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: ACCEPTANCE OF PUBLIC AND ONSITE IMPROVEMENTS AS AGREED UPON IN THE
IMPROVEMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY AND SHAWKI DEYN PROPERTIES, LLC., FOR KAMILAH DEYN TOWNHOMES, TRACT NO. 1592, AND REFUND OF
REMAINING CLEAN-UP DEPOSIT
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council adopt resolutions approving:
1. Acceptance of Public and Onsite Improvements as agreed upon in the Improvement Agreement between the City and Shawki Deyn Properties, LLC., for the Damilah Deyn Townhomes, Tract No. 1592.
2. Authorize and direct the City Manager to refund any remaining Clean Up Deposit to the Developer.
BACKGROUND:
On July 5, 2016, the City Council approved the Tentative Subdivision Map by Resolution No. 130-16 (CM), for the Kamilah Deyn Townhomes located at 221 Airport Boulevard, Watsonville.
On October 9, 2018, the City Council approved a time extension of the Tentative Subdivision Map by Resolution No. 162- 18 (CM).
On June 8, 2021, the City Council approved a Public and On-Site Improvement Agreement between the City and Developer Shawki Deyn Properties, LLC., for the Kamilah Deyn Townhomes, Tract No. 1592 by Resolution No. 161-21 (CM) and the Final Subdivision Map by Resolution No. 162-21. The Improvement Agreement called for the Developer to provide:
Faithful Performance and Labor Materials Securities that were to remain in place until the improvements were accepted by the City Council;
Defective Materials and Workmanship (Warranty) Bond that was to remain in place for one year after acceptance of the work by the City Council;
2 Clean Up Deposit that was to remain in place until the improvements were accepted by the City Council.
DISCUSSION:
Construction of the Public and On-Site Improvements are complete and approved by city staff. Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council accept the improvements and authorize and direct the City Manager to refund any remaining Clean Up Deposit to the Developer. Acceptance of the Improvements will allow the Developer to; Stop providing the Faithful Performance and Labor Materials Securities; Continue to provide the Defective Materials and Workmanship (Warranty) Bond for one year after Council approval.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION:
On July 5, 2016, the City adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Kamilah Deyn Townhomes Project, Tract Number 1592, to allow construction of forty-eight townhome units and the relocation and rehabilitation of an existing school house to a residential unit on a 2.65 acre parcel located at 221 Airport Boulevard, Watsonville (APN 015-371-01).
No changes to the Negative Declaration are necessary because this action merely accepts the Public and On-Site Improvements and authorizes refunding a deposit. It proposes no changes to the project that would require additional environmental analysis, and none of the conditions described in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 for the preparation of a subsequent EIR have been met.
No changes involving new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects are proposed, and there has been no change in circumstances. There is no new information about the project that could not have been known at the time of the original project approval that indicates any new significant environmental effects or effects that will be substantially more severe, nor are there new mitigation measures that would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, or mitigation measures previously found to be infeasible that would, in fact, be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project.
Therefore, nothing further is required under CEQA.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
This project is consistent with Strategic Plan Goals:
Infrastructure & Environment
Housing
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Acceptance of the Public and On-Site Improvements for the Kamilah Deyn Townhomes Project will have no impact on City finances.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
No reasonable alternatives are known at this time.

1 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: Tuesday, March 11, 2025
TO: CITY COUNCIL
WRITTEN BY: Interim Community Development Director Orbach RECOMMENDED BY: INTERIM COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR MEEK APPROVED BY: TAMARA VIDES, CITY MANAGER
SUBJECT: APPEAL (#PP2024-8380) OF PLANNING COMMISSION’S DENIAL OF AN APPEAL (#PP2024-7954) OF ZONING ADMINISTRATOR APPROVAL OF AN ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW PERMIT FOR A LOWBARRIER NAVIGATION CENTER (#PP2023-6297) LOCATED AT 118 1ST STREET, 5 CHERRY COURT, AND 120 1ST RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council deny the appeal (#PP2024-8380) of the Planning Commission’s denial of the appeal (#PP2024-7954) and upholding the Zoning Administrator’s approval of an Administrative Review Permit for a lowbarrier navigation center (#PP2023-6297) located at 118 1st Street, 5 Cherry Court, and 120 1st Street (APN: 017-172- 32, 31, & 35) and upholding approval by the Zoning Administrator of an Administrative Review Permit and finding the project exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15268.
SUMMARY:
The item before the Council is the appeal of the Planning Commission’s denial of an appeal of a Zoning Administrator determination approving a Low Barrier Navigation Center (LBNC) at 118 1st Street, 5 Cherry Court, and 120 1st Street (APN: 017-172-32, 31, & 35).
Under the applicable statutory provisions, a LBNC is a use by right in areas zoned for mixed use and nonresidential zones permitting multifamily uses and the City is required to permit a LBNC if it meets the following specified requirements:
• Access to permanent housing.
• Use of a coordinated entry system.
• Use of Housing First according to Welfare and Institutions Code section 8255. • It has a system for entering information regarding client stays, client demographics, client income, and exit destination through the local Homeless Management Information System as defined by section 578.3 of Title 24 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
2 (Government Code Section 65662)
BACKGROUND:
In June 2023, the County of Monterey received a notice of award from the State of California for their Encampment Resolution Funding (ERF) grant application in the requested amount of $7,986,354 to provide funding for the Recurso de Fuerza Village program. The program includes development of 34-individual, non-congregate, low barrier, service rich shelter beds and provision of housing navigation and supportive services to people living along the Pajaro River (Attachment 2).
On October 17, 2023, the County of Monterey, applicant, on behalf of Westview Presbyterian Church, property owner, submitted an application (#PP2023-6297) for a Zoning Clearance/Administrative Review Permit (ARP) for a housing navigation center located at 5 Cherry Court (Attachment 3).
On November 29, 2023, the City of Watsonville provided the applicant with a guidance letter outlining the additional information required for permit processing based on the understanding that the project was an emergency shelter that would be subject to Watsonville Municipal Code (WMC) Chapter 14-43 (Attachment 4).
Between December 2023 and July 2024, Principal Planner Matt Orbach and Building Official Joseph DeSante met with the applicant’s design team to review interim plan designs/test fits and identify and discuss applicable building code and site and building design issues. Through these conversations, it was determined by City staff that the proposed project was not an “emergency shelter” as defined in Government Code § 65582(g) and Health and Safety Code § 50801(e). Per those sections, an “emergency shelter” means housing with minimal supportive services for homeless persons that is limited to occupancy of six months or less by a homeless person. The County of Monterey ERF grant application was for a “non-congregate” and “low barrier interim housing project” providing “housing resources navigation services.” As such, the project met the definition of a low-barrier navigation center as defined in Government Code § 65660(a). Per that section, a “low barrier navigation center” means a Housing First, low-barrier, service-enriched shelter focused on moving people into permanent housing that provides temporary living facilities while case managers connect individuals experiencing homelessness to income, public benefits, health services, shelter, and housing.
On July 11, 2024, the County of Monterey resubmitted plans for ARP #PP2023-6297 that showed the proposed LBNC located on the parcel at 118 1st Street rather than 5 Cherry Court.
On July 26, 2024, the City of Watsonville provided the applicant with a response to the July 11th resubmittal requesting an amended Zoning Clearance/Administrative Review Permit application including an updated scope of work for the proposed project identifying the specific parcels where all project elements (LBNC, parking, fire access, etc.) would be located as well as a detailed description of the proposed use for each of the parcels and confirmation of whether the proposed project should be considered as an “emergency shelter” as defined in WMC Section 14-18.331 (Attachment 5).
On August 23, 2024, the County of Monterey resubmitted project plans with an amended Zoning Clearance/Administrative Review Permit application and an amended memorandum (Attachments 6 & 7).
On September 4, 2024, the County of Monterey resubmitted an amended version of the memorandum that was submitted with the amended Zoning Clearance/Administrative Review Permit application on August 23, 2024. The amended memo removed a paragraph on page two stating that the project was “intended to be an ‘emergency shelter’” and replaced it with a paragraph stating that the project was “intended to be a low barrier navigation center that will provide unsheltered individuals living along the Pajaro River with low barrier access to temporary living facilities, housing navigation and supportive services as defined in California Government Code § 65660 (2023)” (Attachment 8).
3 On September 20, 2024, the Zoning Administrator determined that ARP #PP2023-6297 for a LBNC was complete and approved the permit (Attachment 9). The determination letter included comments and requests for additional information that should be included with the building permit application submittal.
On October 2, 2024, City staff received application #PP2024-7954 appealing the Zoning Administrator approval of ARP #PP2023-6297 (Attachment 10).
On October 10, 2024, City staff received a response to appeal application #PP2024-7954 from the County of Monterey Office of the County Counsel (Attachment 11).
On November 19, 2024, City staff received a letter of support and technical assistance from the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) Division of Housing Policy Development expressing support for the proposed Low-Barrier Navigation Center at 118 1st Street and providing technical assistance regarding the obligations of the City of Watsonville under state law with respect to the project (Attachment 12).
On December 3, 2024, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing, received public comment, closed the public hearing, and voted unanimously to deny the appeal. The Planning Commission staff report, minutes and resolution are attached as Attachments 20, 21, and 22. All meeting documents, including attachments, can be found here:
https://pub-cityofwatsonville.escribemeetings.com/FileStream.ashx?DocumentId=23721 Video of the December 3rd Planning Commission meeting can be found here:
https://pub-cityofwatsonville.escribemeetings.com/Players/ISIStandAlonePlayer.aspx?Id=c29292eb-7660-4f02-92cf6e82839d15cf On December 16, 2024, City staff received application #PP2024-8380 appealing the Planning Commission’s denial of appeal #PP2024-6297 (Attachment 15).
On February 21, 2025, City staff received a response to appeal application #PP2024-8380 from Sonia M. De La Rosa, County Administrative Officer for the County of Monterey (Attachment 16).
STANDARD OF REVIEW:
The decision on an appeal of the Planning Commission’s denial of an appeal is an adjudicative or quasi-judicial decision.
Adjudicative or quasi-judicial decisions apply already adopted policies or standards to individual cases.
Adjudicative/quasi-judicial decisions are based on evidence and must always be supported by findings for approval or denial that are supported by substantial evidence.
PROCESS:
Administrative Review Permit
The purpose of the Administrative Review Permit (ARP) is to ensure, prior to the establishment of an otherwise principally permitted use within an existing facility or new construction not requiring Design Review, that the provision of the Watsonville Municipal Code and other appropriate State and local regulations are met (WMC § 14-12.300). The Zoning Administrator reviews the application to ensure compliance with the Municipal Code. No conditions can be attached to the approval of an APR other than those directly related to ensuring compliance with established standards and provisions of the Municipal Code. (WMC § 14-12.301).
4 APPEALS:
Appeals of the decisions of the Zoning Administrator, or any other administrative official or advisory body in taking any of the actions authorized by this title shall be made to the Planning Commission through its Secretary, pursuant to the process described in WMC Chapter 14-10 Part 11: Appeals.
Per WMC § 14-10.1106(a), the Planning Commission, at the conclusion of the hearing on the appeal, may sustain, modify, or overrule the action of the Zoning Administrator. The decision of the Planning Commission shall be final unless an appeal to the City Council is filed pursuant to WMC § 14-10.1101. Unless otherwise determined by the Planning Commission, the hearing shall be limited to the issues identified in the notice of appeal.
Upon the timely appeal of a Planning Commission decision, the City Council considers whether the action taken by the Planning Commission was erroneously taken and may sustain, modify, or overrule Planning Commission’s action. In order for the Planning Commission’s decision to be overturned on appeal, the City Council must find that the action taken by the Planning Commission was erroneous and inconsistent with the intent of the Zoning District regulations (and in this case Government Code Section 65660 et seq) that regulate the proposed action (WMC § 14-10.1106).
DISCUSSION:
Existing Site
The project site includes three parcels:
1. 118 1st Street (APN: 017-172-32)
2. 5 Cherry Court (APN: 017-172-31)
3. 120 1st Street (APN: 017-172-35)
All three parcels are designated Downtown Central Core on the General Plan Land Use Map and are located within the Downtown Core zoning district. The Downtown Core zoning district is a mixed-use zone in which multifamily residential uses are principally permitted.
The main site location, 118 1st Street, is occupied by the Westview Presbyterian Church. The church is the property owner of all three parcels and the project applicant. The 5 Cherry Court parcel includes a large portion of the church parking lot, the ingress driveway from 1st Street, a single-family home, and the full length of Cherry Court. The 120 1st Street parcel includes only a small portion of the front of the parking lot and the egress driveway to SR-129. Cherry Court and the single-family residence are separated from the rest of the church parking lot by a chain link fence. The rear corner of the 5 Cherry Court parcel is unpaved and vacant.

Proposed Project
The proposed project involves construction of a 34-bed low-barrier navigation center1to be developed by Dignity Moves and the Counties of Monterey and Santa Cruz, in partnership with the site property owner, Westview Presbyterian Church.
The project is designed to be a service-enriched shelter that helps persons experiencing homelessness connect with resources that lead to permanent housing. The project will consist of 26 single bed units, 2 double units (4 beds), and 2 separated Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) units (4 beds), indoor and outdoor dining areas, office units, an intake area, a check-in unit, wet units for a multi-purpose room with one sink, laundry and hygiene facilities, trash and utility
1 Per Government Code § 65660(a), a low-barrier navigation center is Housing First, low-barrier, service-enriched shelter focused on moving people into permanent housing that provides temporary living facilities while case managers connect individuals experiencing homelessness to income, public benefits, health services, shelter, and housing.

6 yard areas, a garden, a pet relief area, bike racks, and storage located within a gated and fenced facility with parking and utility/emergency vehicular access, to be built on three parcels owned by Westview Presbyterian Church.
The project plans are included as Attachment 1.
The project would offer services to connect people to permanent housing through a defined service plan that details services and staffing. The project incorporates low-barrier access features, including a “Housing First” approach, 24/7 on-site staff, provisions for pets, storage of personal belongings, and privacy. The Housing First requirements were adopted by the State of California and apply to programs receiving funding from ERF grants. Under the Lead Me Home Monterey and San Benito County Continuum of Care “Operational Standards for Emergency Shelters,” the project is required to utilize the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) for entering and storing information as to client stays, demographics, income, and exit destination, participate in the local Coordinated Entry System, and comply with Chapter 6.5 or Division 8 of the Welfare and Institutions Code (Attachment 13).
Assembly Bill 101/Government Code § 65660-65668
Communities across California continue to confront ever-increasing challenges posed by a scarcity of housing, particularly affordable housing. The State Legislature has responded to the housing shortage by passing and amending laws, particularly in recent years, designed to facilitate, expedite, and reduce constraints on residential development, including laws that pertain to emergency shelters, transitional and supportive housing, and now low-barrier navigation centers.
Assembly Bill 101 (AB 101) was signed into law in 2019. According to the Senate Committee on Budget and Fiscal Review, it provided statutory changes necessary to enact the housing and homelessness-related provisions of the Budget Act of 2019, including streamlining the approval of low-barrier navigation centers.
AB 101 requires a Low Barrier Navigation Center (LBNC) to be a use by right in areas zoned for mixed use and nonresidential zones permitting multifamily uses if it meets specified requirements, including:
Access to permanent housing.
Use of a coordinated entry system (i.e., Homeless Management Information System). Use of Housing First according to Welfare and Institutions Code (WIC) Section 8255 (Gov. Code § 65660). A system for entering information regarding client stays, client demographics, client income, and exit destination through the local Homeless Management Information System as defined by Section 578.3 of Title 24 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
Per Government Code § 65583.2(i), “use by right” means that that the local government’s review may not require a conditional use permit, planned unit development permit, or other discretionary local government review or approval that would constitute a “project” for purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act.
AB 101 applies to all cities and counties, including charter cities and counties.
AB 101 added Article 12 – Low Barrier Navigation Centers, comprising section 65660-65668, to Chapter 3 of Division 1 of Title 7 (Planning and Land Use) of the Government Code. Government Code § 65660(a) defines a “Low Barrier Navigation Center” as a Housing First, low-barrier, service-enriched shelter focused on moving people into permanent housing that provides temporary living facilities while case managers connect individuals experiencing homelessness to income, public benefits, health services, shelter, and housing.
Per WIC § 8255(d), “Housing First” means the evidence-based model that uses housing as a tool, rather than a reward, for recovery and that centers on providing or connecting homeless people to permanent housing as quickly as possible.
7 Housing First providers offer services as needed and requested on a voluntary basis and that do not make housing contingent on participation in services.
“Low Barrier” means practices that reduce barriers to entry, and may include, but are not limited to:
1. The presence of partners if it is not a population-specific site, such as for survivors of domestic violence or sexual assault, women, or youth.
2. Pets.
3. The storage of possessions.
4. Privacy, such as partitions around beds in a dormitory setting or in larger rooms containing mor than two beds, or private rooms (Gov. Code § 65660(a)).
Per Government Code § 65662, a LBNC development is a use by right in areas zoned for mixed use and nonresidential zones permitting multifamily uses if it meets the requirements of section 65662 and a local jurisdiction shall permit a LBNC development if it meets the following requirements:
a) It offers services to connect people to permanent housing through a services plan that identifies services staffing.
b) It is linked to a coordinated entry system, so that staff in the interim facility or staff who co-locate in the facility may conduct assessments and provide services to connect people to permanent housing. “Coordinated entry system” means a centralized or coordinated assessment system developed pursuant to Section 576.400(d) or Section 578.7(a)(8), as applicable, of Title 24 of the Code of Federal Regulations, as those sections read on January 1, 2020, and any related requirements, designed to coordinate program participant intake, assessment, and referrals.
c) It complies with Chapter 6.5 (commencing with Section 8255) of Division 8 of the Welfare and Institutions Code.
d) It has a system for entering information regarding client stays, client demographics, client income, and exit destination through the local Homeless Management Information System as defined by Section 578.3 of Title 24 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
Per Government Code § 65664, within 30 days of receipt of an application for a LBNC development, the local jurisdiction shall notify a developer whether the developer’s application is complete pursuant to Section 65943. The public agency’s review is limited to determining whether the application includes the information required by Government Code § 65662 above. If the application is incomplete, the lead agency shall provide the applicant with a written determination specifying those parts of the application which are incomplete and indicating the manner in which they can be made complete, including a list and thorough description of the specific information needed to complete the application.
Within 60 days of receipt of a completed application for a LBNC development, the local jurisdiction shall act upon its review of the application.
Administrative Review Permit
Per WMC § 14-12.300, the purpose of the Administrative Review Permit is to assure, prior to establishment of an otherwise principally permitted use (i.e., use by right) within an existing facility or new construction not requiring Design Review, that the provisions of the zoning code and other appropriate State and local regulations are met. In this case, no provisions of the zoning code apply to the proposed LBNC project. However, because the project involves a LBNC and the site is zoned for mixed use, the project qualifies for and was reviewed for compliance with the requirements of Government Code § 65662. Analysis with supportive evidence is below.
8 a) It offers services to connect people to permanent housing through a services plan that identifies services staffing.
Supportive Evidence: The project will comply with the County of Monterey shelter/navigation center operational standards as approved by the Monterey County Continuum of Care (CoC). Those standards include the Lead Me Home Monterey and San Benito County Continuum of Care “Operational Standards for Emergency Shelters” and the County of Monterey Homeless Services “Good Neighbor Protocol” (Attachments 13 & 14). Services staffing will be provided by several agencies, including CSUMB Community Health Engagement (CHE), HomeFirst, and Community Action Board (CAB) (Attachment 2). b) It is linked to a coordinated entry system, so that staff in the interim facility or staff who co-locate in the facility may conduct assessments and provide services to connect people to permanent housing. “Coordinated entry system” means a centralized or coordinated assessment system developed pursuant to Section 576.400(d) or Section 578.7(a)(8), as applicable, of Title 24 of the Code of Federal Regulations, as those sections read on January 1, 2020, and any related requirements, designed to coordinate program participant intake, assessment, and referrals.
Supportive Evidence: The LBNC will participate in the local Coordinated Entry System as required by the Lead Me Home Monterey and San Benito County Continuum of Care “Operational Standards for Emergency Shelters.”
c) It complies with Chapter 6.5 (commencing with Section 8255) of Division 8 of the Welfare and Institutions Code (WIC).
Supportive Evidence: Housing First requirements apply to all programs receiving Encampment Resolution Funding (ERF) grants. The project was awarded $7,986,354 in ERF grant funding, so the LBNC will comply with Chapter 6.5 of Division 8 of the WIC. In addition, Housing First requirements are required by the Lead Me Home Monterey and San Benito County Continuum of Care “Operational Standards for Emergency Shelters.”
d) It has a system for entering information regarding client stays, client demographics, client income, and exit destination through the local Homeless Management Information System as defined by Section 578.3 of Title 24 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
Supportive Evidence: The Lead Me Home Monterey and San Benito County Continuum of Care “Operational Standards for Emergency Shelters” requires all emergency shelter programs, including LBNCs, to enter participant data into the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) managed by the Coalition of Homeless Services Providers (CHSP). Programs must follow CHSP’s HMIS policies and procedures. Program staff will enter complete and accurate information into HMIS in a timely manner for all participants.
Participant information, including universal data elements and program-specific data elements, will be accurate, complete, and current.
On September 20, 2024, based on the supportive evidence above, the Zoning Administrator approved ARP #PP2024-7954 (Attachment 9).
APPEAL OF ZONING ADMINISTRATOR DETERMINATION
On October 2, 2024, City staff received an appeal application (#PP2024-7954) from Catalina Torres requesting that the Planning Commission overrule and rescind the Zoning Administrator’s approval of ARP #PP2023-6297 (Attachment 10).
The appellant contended that the approval was “defective and improper” and included a list of fifteen reasons for the
9 appeal. On October 10, 2024, City staff received a response to the appeal application from the County of Monterey Office of the County Counsel (Attachment 11). The Monterey County Counsel opined that the City lacks authority to entertain a discretionary appeal on this ministerial project because, as long as the statutory requirements for a LBNC are met, the City must approve the project.
On December 3, 2024, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing, received public comment, closed the public hearing, and voted unanimously to deny the appeal and uphold the Zoning Administrator’s determination.
APPEAL TO THE CITY COUNCIL
On December 16, 2024, Catalina Torres appealed the decision of the Planning Commission upholding the Zoning Administrator’s decision on the project (Attachment 15).
Pages 2-6 of the appeal include:
A. Summary of Appeal, Response, and Rebuttal: The issues raised in this section of the appeal letter are addressed in the itemized responses below.
B. The Entitlement Review Process: The issues raised in this section of the appeal letter are addressed in the itemized responses below. In addition, the use of the term “entitlement review process,” “entitlement” is meant to refer to the Administrative Review Permit for the LBNC and the “process” is the Zoning Administrator’s review and determination on the Permit.
C. Government Code Section 65662: The issues raised in this section of the appeal letter are addressed in the itemized responses below.
D. Letter from William R. Seligmann: The issues raised in this section of the appeal letter are addressed in the itemized responses below, in particular, please see the response set forth in item 2 below.
The appeal also includes 32 items of alleged “procedural defects of the Commission and Meeting, serving as further grounds for petitioning to overturn the Commission’s decision.” Each of the 32 points are addressed below.
1. Defective Commission Agenda Report Format
Appellant asserts that the Planning Commission staff report was defective because “… it didn’t have a formal document date shown” and that this “is contrary to best document management practices and leads to confusion in future referencing.”
Both the Planning Commission and the staff report for Planning Commission appeal hearing clearly identify the meeting date of December 3, 2024. This is consistent with the City’s practice of identifying agenda documents. It is also clear on the City’s website that these documents related to the December 3, 2024, meeting. This is a non-substantive issue and is not a basis to overturn the Planning Commission’s denial of the appeal.
2. Staff improperly failed to include the legal analysis by William R. Seligmann in the Agenda Package distributed publicly on Wednesday, November 27, 2024.
Mr. Seligmann submitted a letter to the City Council dated July 29, 2024, with the subject line “Tiny Home Application – 118 & 120 First Street, 5 Cherry Court.” Ms. Torres contends that failure to include Mr.
10 Seligmann’s letter in the Planning Commission packet was a procedural defect and is a basis to overturn the Planning Commission’s decision. This is inaccurate for a number of reasons, including:
- It was not submitted as a public comment to the Planning Commission; - It was not included in Ms. Torres’ appeal documents – she indicates that the letter is referenced in the appeal so that it should have been included, however, all of the issues raised in the appeal to the Planning Commission were addressed by staff, and if Ms. Torres wanted the letter included it should have been attached to the appeal;
- The letter was submitted to the Planning Commission as an attachment to an email from Marta Bulaich on the morning of December 2, 2024. The letter is essentially two pages long and the Commissioners had ample opportunity to review it prior to the Planning Commission meeting on December 3.
As indicated above, Mr. Seligmann’s July 29, 2024, letter is addressed to all of the Council members. It is also attached to the appeal to the City Council as an attachment to Marta Bulaich’s email (appeal attachment 2).
However, to ensure that the Council has easy access to the letter it is attached here as Attachment 17.
Mr. Seligmann’s letter identified two areas that he believed needed to be addressed related to the project:
- “The inapplicability of Senate Bill 4 of 2023; and
- The necessity for a Special Use Permit for the change in church operations.” First, the project approved by the Zoning Administrator was not submitted under Senate Bill (SB) 4 but rather, it was submitted under the provisions of Government Code Section 65660, et seq., as a LBNC. Under SB 4, the "Affordable Housing on Faith and Higher Education Lands Act of 2023," 100% affordable housing projects located on “religious institutions” or an “independent institution of higher education” are a “use by right.” Mr. Seligmann indicated his belief that the project did not comply with the requirements of SB 4 on the basis that it would be within 1,200 feet of a site that is subject to permitting by an Air Resources District2 and that therefore: “Given that Senate Bill 4 is inapplicable, the proposed project must comply with all of the applicable provisions in Watsonville’s local land use regulations.” (emphasis added). Mr. Seligmann then concludes that the existing church on the project site must obtain a Special Use Permit.” The existing church is now a “non-conforming” use in that it existed prior to the previous and current zoning.
Under the previous Institutional (N) zoning, church uses required a Special Use Permit. With the adoption of the Downtown Watsonville Specific Plan (DWSP), a Special Use Permit is now required for churches in the Downtown Core zoning district (DWSP Table 6-3, Land Use Regulations). However, the church use existed prior to the adoption of either of those zoning code updates, so the church use is a legal nonconforming use.
Regarding Non-Conforming Uses, WMC Section 14-20.050 provides:
“A nonconforming use may only be increased in size or intensity or modified in location or character through the granting of a special use permit after making findings that such expansion or modification will not adversely affect adjoining properties and those findings required by Section 14-10.607.
Residential nonconforming uses may not be expanded to increase the number of dwelling units on a lot where the minimum standards of land-area-per-dwelling-unit for the district cannot be met.”
2 While this requirement is applicable to a SB 4 project, it is not applicable to a LBNC submitted under Government Code Section 65662.
11 Mr. Seligmann’s conclusion that a Special Use Permit is required for the existing church is predicated on the inapplicability of the use by right provisions of SB 4. However, the same logic that would allow by right development of affordable housing under SB 4 without the church acquiring a Special Use Permit also applies to the by right development of a LBNC in accordance with Government Code Section 65600, et seq. In addition, the LBNC is a project submitted by the County of Monterey, not the existing church. The LBNC is a separate and distinct use on the site which is allowed by right. It is not part of the existing church use. Even if the provisions of WMC Section 14-20.050 could be applied to the project, none of the criteria triggering the need for a Special Use Permit are met. The proposed project does not increase the size of the church, it does not increase the intensity of the church’s use of the property, and it does not modify the location or character of the church use.
3. Staff improperly failed to provide a functional audiovisual support system during the Planning Commission meeting, which led to statements made by various speakers being inaudible to the public audience as well as inaudible on the uploaded video recording.
While the primary audio support system in the City Council Chambers was not available, the City provided a secondary audio system for the meeting. No members of the audience present at the meeting raised concerns about any comments being inaudible during the meeting and the meeting video and minutes were posted as soon as they were available to the City Planning Commission Agendas and Minutes page at https://www.watsonville.gov/195/Planning-Commission. This is a non-substantive issue and is not a basis to overturn the Planning Commission’s denial of the appeal.
4. Staff misled the Commission both in the Commission Agenda Report and in their presentation on the timeline of the entitlement review process.
Please see response to item B, above, regarding the entitlement review process. This entitlement process, which is separate and distinct from the grant application process undertaken by Monterey County, started when an application was submitted to the City for the project on October 17, 2023. The information presented in the Planning Commission Agenda Report and the presentation is accurate, as the Zoning Administrator is not involved in the entitlement process until an application is submitted to the City of Watsonville.
5. Staff gave invalid guidance in the Commission Agenda Report and presentation to the Commission on the situation and particulars of the existing Church on the property as a conditional use.
As indicated by staff during the Planning Commission public hearing on the appeal and as described above in response to item no. 2, the existing church on the property is a legal non-conforming use because it existed prior to the existing and previous zoning. Under the previous Institutional (N) zoning, church uses required a Special Use Permit. With the adoption of the Downtown Watsonville Specific Plan (DWSP), a Special Use Permit is now required for churches in the Downtown Core (DWSP Table 6-3, Land Use Regulations). The fact that a new church use is considered a conditional use in the Downtown Core zoning district is not relevant to the Zoning Administrator’s decision on the LBNC because the decision involves the establishment of a new LBNC use on the property, separate and distinct from the legal nonconforming church use. See response to no. 6 below.
6. Staff gave invalid guidance in the Commission Agenda Report and presentation to the Commission on the particulars and applicability of the Watsonville nonconforming uses ordinance.
12 As indicated by staff during the Planning Commission public hearing on the appeal and as described above in response to item no. 2, a non-conforming use may remain and is not required to obtain a Special Use Permit so long as the use is not increased in size or intensity or modified in location or character. None of those factors apply to the existing church use. In addition, the proposed project is a new use, not an expansion of the church use.
7. Staff failed to identify in the Commission Agenda Report that the Church was an existing use and would be continuing as a use after the LBNC was to be established. Staff also failed to identify that the Church was a conditional use (as per the Downtown Watsonville Specific Plan zoning regulations) and would continue to be a conditional use after the LBNC was established.
See response to items 2, 5, and 6 above. In addition, the existing church is shown on the project plans that are included in the Planning Commission agenda packet and that are attached here (Attachment 1).
Specifically, the existing church is identified as Parcel 1A in the Project Information and Parcel Map. In addition, the existing church use is identified on page 2 of the Memorandum-Amended dated September 4, 2024, from Sonia M. De La Rosa, Administrative Officer of the County of Monterey (CAO) as existing uses.
The Amended Field Data section of Table 1 indicates “APN: 017-172-32 church parking lot and church building site (project site will not impact church site).”
8. Staff failed to identify in the Commission Agenda Report and presentation to the Commission that the Church lacked a Special Use Permit. Staff failed to identify the Church as a nonconforming use in the Commission Agenda Report.
See responses to items 2, 5, 6, and 7 above.
9. Staff failed to identify in both the Commission Agenda Report and presentation that establishing the LBNC would change the intensity of the Church's nonconforming use on the parcels such that a Special Use Permit was required to be approved for the Church before the LBNC could be established on the property.
See response to items 2, 5, 6, 7, and 8 above. In addition, the proposed project is a separate use from the church use and is not an intensification of the church use.
10. Matt Orbach improperly advised the Commission that the Church could obtain a Special Use Permit after the LBNC was established, which is in violation of the City's nonconforming use ordinance.
See responses to items 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 above. The LBNC is a new use, separate and distinct from the legal nonconforming church use, and can be approved under Government Code Section 65662 without any consideration of existing uses on the property. Regardless, this allegation is not a basis to grant the appeal.
11. City Attorney Mary Anne Wagner gave incoherent legal guidance on what a legal nonconforming use means.
Staff and the City Attorney’s office accurately explained what a nonconforming use is and advised the Commission of the events that would lead to the church needing to obtain a Special Use Permit, none of which are present with respect to the proposed project. Regardless, this allegation is not a basis to grant the appeal.
12. Staff misled the Commission by not explaining that the LBNC was also allowed by right in the Downtown Watsonville Specific Plan regulations.
13 While the LBNC use is allowed by right in the DWSP area, neither the DWSP nor the City’s Zoning Ordinance have any development standards related to a LBNC. The proposed project is not a church use so the applicable standards related to churches are not applicable. Regardless, this allegation is not a basis to grant the appeal.
13. Staff incorrectly determined both in the Commission Agenda Report and presentation that the LBNC project met the requirements of Government Code Section 65662 when in fact, the project did not do so.
The appellant contends that project does not comply with Government Code Section 65662(a), which requires that the LBNC “offer services to connect people to permanent housing through a services plan that identifies services staffing.” The ERF-2 grant application was not included in the application materials submitted for the ARP application. However, in reviewing the application, the Zoning Administrator located the ERF-2 grant application on the County of Monterey website and reviewed it for additional details related to the proposed facility and associated services. The grant application includes a detailed summary of services to be provided and services staffing on pages 12-14. Based on this information, the Zoning Administrator determined that the project met the requirements of Government Code Section 65662(a).
14. Staff misled the Commission in both the Commission Agenda Report and the presentation regarding false statements that the Zoning Administrator and her superiors (two City Managers) made to the Council, media, and public.
Per the project background section above, ARP Application #PP2023-6297 was officially submitted on October 17, 2023, and the City issued a guidance letter on November 29, 2023. At that point, the application was deemed “incomplete” and required a resubmittal to move forward to a second completeness review.
The City did not receive a formal resubmittal until July 11, 2024, at which time staff conducted a second formal review of the project application. Delays between completeness determinations and resubmittals is common for entitlement applications after initial submittals, as preliminary reviews often raise important questions, identify issues, and require additional analysis and design work that can take a significant amount of time to complete prior to resubmittal.
Staff disagrees Appellant’s characterization of statements made by the Zoning Administrator and City Managers. It also appears that some of the Appellant’s concerns are related to statements dealing with the timing of the submittal of the ERF-2 grant application for the LBNC by the County, which occurred well before the submittal of ARP #PP2023-6297. Regardless, this allegation is not a basis to grant the appeal.
15. Staff improperly referenced in both the Commission Agenda Report and its presentation data from the ERF-2 Grant application to support the Zoning Clearance Permit Application.
See response to no. 13 above.
16. City Attorney Mary Anne Wagner improperly gave invalid and incompetent guidance to the Commission that the Commission Appeal hearing was not the appropriate forum to air a California Public Records Act concern.
The item before the Planning Commission on December 3, 2024, was an appeal of the decision of the Zoning Administrator. Discussion of the Public Records Act was not agendized. Public Records Act requests are handled by the City Clerk’s office and any concerns related to the production of documents in response to a PRA request should first be addressed to the City Clerk’s office. Public Records Act requests and disputes are
14 not the purview of the Planning Commission. The City did receive a Public Records Act request from William Seligmann dated April 27, 2024. The City provided Mr. Seligmann with all non-exempt documents that were responsive to this request. Regardless, this allegation is not a basis to grant the appeal.
17. Matt Orbach misled the Commission in both the Commission Agenda Report and presentation about the nature of the Caltrans correspondence, in which his letter specifically referenced a "building permit submission" prior to Zoning Clearance approval.
As part of the application review, City staff reached out to Caltrans staff to inform them of the proposed work along SR-129 and inquire about whether they had any questions or concerns that could be addressed during the future building permit process because the project frontage is in the Caltrans right of way. Consultation with regional agencies is a normal part of the development review process.
Appellant claims that characterization of the Applicant’s submittal as “a Building Permit Submittal” or whether there would be a “… future building permit process” was material to the Commission’s decision. It quite simply was not, the issue before the Commission for decision was the Zoning Administrator’s decision related to the application for a LBNC.
A building permit application for the proposed project was not submitted until December 18, 2024.
Regardless, this allegation is not a basis to grant the appeal.
18. Staff erroneously claimed that a qualifying requirement of Government Code Section 65662(a) for the LBNC was met.
See response to item 13 above.
19. Staff misled the Commission by stating it could only consider four criteria of Government Code Section 65662 to resolve issues raised in the Appeal.
Staff correctly identified that the issue on appeal, for the Planning Commission and now the Council, is determining if the Zoning Administrator’s action was correct. That action was based on a determination that the project complied with the four requirements in Government Code Section 65662. In that regard, the Commission and now the Council are considering whether the Zoning Administrator erred in determining that the project complied with the four requirements in Government Code Section 65662 applicable to a LBNC. The Planning Commission also considered each of the points raised in the appeal to the Commission.
In fact, the Commission walked through each of the points raised in the appeal letter and asked questions of staff related to those points. The Council should also consider the items raised in the appeal to the Council.
However, the legal basis for granting the appeal is whether the project, as proposed, complies with the requirements of section 65662.
20. Failure by the Planning Commissioners to properly evaluate the Rebuttal.
Appellant claims that the Commission should have continued the hearing on the appeal to review voluminous documentation submitted to the Commission “over an hour prior to the Planning Commission ….” However, the appellant had ample time to provide information to the Commission and did so in a 14-page appeal application. The Commission was not required to continue the meeting to consider this additional submittal by Marta Bulaich. The “Rebuttal” is a 16-page document that was submitted at 4:52 p.m. on the day of the hearing. It is attached hereto as Attachment 18. This email, along with the 402-page “Folio” document
15 submitted at 4:02 p.m. on the day of the hearing, were included in the updated public comment attachment emailed to the Planning Commissioners at 5:13 p.m. on the day of the hearing. See response to item 30 below for additional information.
21. Failure by the Planning Commissioners to properly evaluate the Folio.
Appellant claims that the Commission should have continued the hearing on the appeal to review voluminous documentation submitted to the Commission “within two hours prior to the Planning Commission ….” The “Folio,” also called a “Collection of Data and Documents Highlighting Watsonville’s Improper Zoning Procedure for the Tiny Village,” is a 402-page document that was sent to the Commission via email by Marta Bulaich at 4:02 p.m. on the day of the Commission hearing (December 3, 2024). The “Folio” is included in pages 68-512 of Attachment 15. However, the appellant had ample time to provide information to the Commission and did so in a 14-page appeal application. The Commission was not required to continue the meeting to consider this additional submittal. This late mail, along with the 16-page “Rebuttal” document submitted by Marta Bulaich at 4:52 p.m. on the day of the hearing, were included in the updated public comment attachment emailed to the Planning Commissioners at 5:13 p.m. on the day of the hearing. See response to item 30 below for additional information.
22. Failure of Planning Commissioner and Vice Chair Peter Radin to provide a fair approach toward's [sic] Appellant's concerns.
The statements of Vice Chair Radin included in the appeal are taken out of context and do not support the contention that the Vice Chair was not a fair and impartial decision maker at the hearing. The record shows that Vice Chair asked staff to walk through each of the grounds for the appeal, allowing the Commissioners an opportunity to ask questions of staff related to each ground, and inviting discussion on each of the grounds for the appeal.
23. Failure of Planning Commissioner Dan Dodge to critically examine the Appeal process.
Appellant lists questions Commissioner Dodge asked of staff and the appellant in support of Appellant’s contention that Commissioner Dodge “failed” to “critically examine the Appeal process.” However, the quotes included in the appeal are taken out of context. In addition, Commissioners are free to ask questions of staff and the applicant or the applicant team. Commissioner Dodge has access to all of the information in the agenda packet and was free to ask questions as the Commissioner saw fit.
24. Failure of Planning Commissioner Lucy Rojas to critically examine the Appeal process.
Appellant contends that Commissioner Rojas deferred to staff for guidance and was confused about the Zoning Clearance Permit Application. The quotes in the appeal are taken out of context and do not support the contention that Commissioner Rojas “failed” to “critically examine the Appeal process.” In addition, with respect to the Public Records Act item please see response to item no. 16 above. Regardless, there is no indication that Commissioner Rojas exhibited impermissible bias at the hearing.
25. Failure of Brando Sencion to comment on the Appeal.
There is no evidence to support the contention that a lack of comment by Commissioner Sencion is “evasion.” Commissioners are free to ask questions and comment on the project/appeal or not. Commissioner Sencion did ask clarifying questions of staff. Regardless, there is no indication that Commissioner Sencion exhibited impermissible bias at the hearing.
16 26. Failure of Vanessa Meldahl to comment on the Appeal.
There is no evidence to support the contention that a lack of comment by Commissioner Meldahl is “evasion.” Commissioners are free to ask questions and comment on the project/appeal or not. Regardless, there is no indication that Commissioner Meldahl exhibited impermissible bias at the hearing.
27. Failure of Jenni Veitch-Olson to appear neutral in her response regarding her conflict of interest with the project.
Commissioner Veitch-Olson complied with the requirements of the Political Reform Act, Government Code Section 6250, et seq. (PRA), by stating that although no conflict under the PRA existed because neither the applicant, the County of Monterey, or the church, were a source of income to the Commissioner or the Commissioner’s immediate family, she chose to recuse herself to avoid any basis for further appeals or litigation. Commissioner Veitch-Olson made this statement immediately after the agenda was called and prior to the presentation of the staff report to the Planning Commission. Commissioner Veitch-Olson then left the room and did not participate in the item.
28. Staff improperly failed to include its slides in the Agenda Package uploaded to the City's website within 24-48 hours.
The agenda package for the December 3, 2024, Planning Commission meeting was posted to the City website on Tuesday, November 26, 2024. The presentation slides were uploaded to the City website on Thursday, December 5, 2024. Regardless, this allegation is not a basis to grant the appeal.
29. Staff improperly failed to upload a publicly accessible video recording of the Commission meeting within a proper time frame after the meeting.
The video recording of the Planning Commission meeting of December 3, 2024, was published on the City’s website on December 5, 2024. Regardless, this allegation is not a basis to grant the appeal.
30. Staff improperly failed to download and integrate the Folio, a large attachment that had multiple links, into the Agenda Package.
The public comment deadline for items going to Planning Commission meetings is 3:00 p.m. on the meeting date. The public comment mentioned above was received on December 3, 2024, at 4:02 p.m. The public comment consisted of an email referencing a document titled “A Collection of Data and Documents Highlighting Watsonville’s Improper Zoning Procedures for the Tiny Village.” Because the document file size was too large to include in an email, the email included Google Drive and Dropbox links to the document.
Any public comment documents submitted after 3:00 p.m. can be presented at the Planning Commission meeting and will be uploaded at a later date. However, City staff emailed the documents to the Commissioners at 5:13 p.m. Staff’s email included a PDF with all public comments received, including the 4:02 p.m. email from Marta Bulaich with the links to the 402-page “Folio” (Attachment 19) and an additional email Ms. Bulaich submitted at 4:52 p.m. that contained a 16-page rebuttal to staff’s analysis in the agenda package. Regardless, this allegation is not a basis to grant the appeal.
31. Staff improperly failed to include one of the slides Matt Orbach projected during the Planning Commission Meeting in the Agenda Package.
17 The PDF of the December 3, 2024, Planning Commission meeting presentation was published on the City website on December 5, 2024. On Thursday, December 12, 2024, Marta Bulaich contacted City Clerk Irwin Ortiz to inform him that the presentation published on the City website was missing one slide that was presented at the December 3, 2024, Planning Commission meeting. The discrepancy was due to the fact that there was one “hidden” slide presented at the meeting that had not been included in the PDF published on the City website. Staff printed a new PDF with the missing slide, published it to the website, and shared it with Marta Bulaich on Friday, December 13, 2024. Regardless, this allegation is not a basis to grant the appeal.
32. Staff improperly removed the Agenda Package from the City of Watsonville website.
The agenda packet was not removed from the City website. The agenda packet was updated with the latest presentations (including the “Folio” referenced in #30 above) on Thursday, December 5, 2024, and when it was published the PDF version of the document did not sync in eScribe (the City’s agenda creation and publishing software). As a result, the updated agenda package was available to the public in the HTML version only. As soon as City staff was made aware of this issue with the PDF version, it was corrected and republished and both the PDF and HTML versions of the agenda packet were available again on Saturday, December 7, 2024. Regardless, this allegation is not a basis to grant the appeal.
APPLICANT RESPONSE TO APPEAL OF PLANNING COMMISSION DECISION On February 21, 2025, City staff received a response to appeal application PP2024-8380 to the City Council to Overrule the City Planning Commission’s Denial of Appeal #PP2024-7954 relevant to a by-right development of a Low Barrier Navigation Center, proposed for 118 1st Street (#PP2023-6297) from the County of Monterey Office of the County Counsel (Attachment 11). The Monterey County Counsel indicates their position that the City lacks authority to entertain a discretionary appeal on this ministerial project because, as long as the statutory requirements for a LBNC are met, and the City must approve the project. The response letter is included as Attachment 16.
The appeal was submitted properly, in compliance with all requirements listed in WMC Chapter 14-10 Part 11: Appeals.
As such, the City is providing the applicant with their due process rights by accepting and considering the appeal.
HCD Letter of Support and Technical Assistance
On Tuesday, November 19, 2024, City staff received a letter of support and technical assistance from the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) related to the appeal (#PP2024-7954) of ARP #PP2023-6297.
HCD is the state agency charged with administering, interpreting, and enforcing state housing law in California. The letter includes an overview of applicable state housing laws and states that the City acted appropriately in approving the Project ministerially. The letter concludes by reminding the City that, pursuant to Government Code § 65585(j), HCD may notify the Office of the Attorney General if HCD finds that any local government has taken an action in violation of state housing law, including but not limited to By-Right Low Barrier Navigation Center law (Gov. Code, § 65585, subd. (j)(9)) (Attachment 12).
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA) DETERMINATION:
Approval of the Administrative Review Permit is statutorily exempt as a ministerial use from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15268. Government Code § 65660 provides for Low Barrier Navigation Centers (LBNC) and specifies that an LBNC is a use by right, which has the same definition used in Government Code § Section 65583.2(i) that states local government review may not require a
18 conditional use permit or other discretionary local government review or approval that would constitute a “project” for purposes of Division 13 (commencing with Section 21000) of the Public Resources Code.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
Denial of the appeal supports the City Council’s 2023-2025 Strategic Plan Priority 3: Housing and Priority 6: Community Engagement & Well-being.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Denial of the appeal may have a financial impact in the form of litigation fees and costs if the appellant pursues litigation.
If the appeal is granted, there may be a financial impact in the form of litigation fees and costs if the County of Monterey or the California Department of Housing and Community Development pursue litigation.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
The Council could grant the appeal. In this case, staff requests direction regarding how to make the finding required by Watsonville Municipal Code Section 14-10.1106, that the action taken by the official or advisory body was taken erroneously and was inconsistent with the intent of the zoning district regulations that regulate the proposed action (in this case, Government Code Section 65662). Staff would return with a resolution granting the appeal at a subsequent meeting.

70 Of people projected to be served across the entire grant period, number of people projected to transition into interim shelters
60 Of people projected to be served across the entire grant period, number of people projected to transition into permanent housing
42 Is the prioritized encampment site part of a larger encampment area? Yes
Approximately how many people are residing in the entire larger encampment area, including the prioritized site?
100
Briefly describe the prioritized site in relation to the larger encampment area. (1000 character limit) The entire encampment site spans approximately 7 river miles. The area of focus for this proposal is between river mile markers 2 through 5.5.
Encampment Information
1. Briefly describe the characteristics of the people residing within the prioritized encampment site.
The description must include demographics and may include household compositions, disabilities, and projected service and housing needs. (1500 character limit) The prioritized encampment sites are located along the Pajaro River and Lower Salsipuedes Creek near the City of Watsonville (Santa Cruz County) and unincorporated town of Pajaro (Monterey County). A multi-jurisdictional collaborative that includes both Santa Cruz and Monterey counties, the City of Watsonville and the Pajaro Regional Flood Management Agency (PRFMA) has identified this encampment to be prioritized for funding through ERF-2R.
Cal State University Monterey Bay (CSUMB) Center for Community Health Engagement (CHE) has been providing outreach and mobile case management to the Pajaro River occupants no less than once a week for over a year. Based on their interactions with the individuals in the encampment, the CHE team estimates that there are about 60 people on the site. In general, the occupants of the encampment are chronically homeless, unaccompanied adults who work in the surrounding agricultural fields. They are primarily Spanish speaking and about 50% are believed to be undocumented. The majority are men. Ages range mostly from 30 to 60. There is a subgroup of individuals who suffer from one or more co-occurring health and behavioral health issues. Some occupants have disclosed that they have criminal backgrounds and other barriers to housing, and that they need assistance with securing housing. Occupants have also shared their need for immigration and citizenship services, pet care, transportation, legal assistance, and employment and educational services.
2. Briefly describe physical characteristics of the prioritized encampment site in which the people you are proposing to serve are residing. The description must include the specific location, physical size of the area, the types of structures people are residing in at the site, whether vehicles are present, and any other relevant or notable physical characteristics of the site. (1000 character limit)
The site is located along the Pajaro River and Lower Salsipuedes Creek near the City of Watsonville (Santa Cruz County) and unincorporated town of Pajaro (Monterey County). The approximate location is latitude 36.907229, longitude -121.748089. The total area covers roughly 100 acres along 3.5 miles of stream length. The area is composed primarily of ecologically sensitive wooded, riparian habitat. The area is contained within the Pajaro River and Salsipuedes Creek flood control system, which is under management of the Pajaro Regional Flood Management Agency (PRFMA). The flood control system consists of earthen levee embankments. Structures within this community range from simple tents to larger assemblies constructed from pallets, tarps, vegetation and other debris. These structures have been dug into channel and levee banks which destabilizes the soil and increases the chance of erosion and bank failure. Vehicles are often found parked in unauthorized areas if the river.
3. Why is this particular encampment site being prioritized? (1000 character limit) This encampment is being prioritized due to the vulnerability of the residents. Many have significant health and behavioral health challenges and their status as immigrants makes it challenging for them to access housing and services. The area surrounding the encampment is a “service desert” with minimal community-based supports available. The encampment sits in a flood plain, putting residents in danger during rainy periods such as the recent atmospheric river events.
Another reason for prioritizing this site is that the land it occupies is slated for a major levee construction project that will require the current residents to move. The levees have broken multiple times, causing nearly $100M in damages and loss of lives. The US Army Corps of Engineers and the State have agreed to jointly invest $400M to expand and repair the levee in upcoming years. This work will be overseen by the Pajaro Regional Flood Management Agency (PRFMA), one of the collaborative partners in this project.

4. Is the prioritized site on a state right-of-way?
No
Proposal’s Outcomes
5. What are the outcomes this proposal seeks to accomplish by the grant close (6/30/2026)? If funded, what are the primary activities you are planning to implement to achieve the proposal’s outcomes? (1000 character limit)
1. Outcome: 100% of the current encampment residents will engage with outreach. Activity: Traumainformed outreach services provided by CHE.
2. Outcome: 85% of individuals will enter interim housing. Activity: Create new interim housing project (Recurso de Fuerza); offer placement in other interim housing in Monterey and Santa Cruz Counties.
3. Outcome: 60% of individuals served by Recurso de Fuerza and other IH options will secure permanent housing in a median time frame of 180 days. Activity: Provide flexible rapid rehousing funds, problem solving services, placement in housing through CE, housing focused case management in interim housing.
4. Outcome: 25% of participants at Recurso de Fuerza will increase income. Activity: employment assistance and case management by HomeFirst, referral to project partners
5. Outcome: 90% or greater of participants at Recurso de Fuerza will be satisfied with the program.
Activity: measured via satisfaction surveys administered twice per year.
6. How will the applicant measure progress towards the proposal’s outcomes? (1000 character limit)
Housing and service outcomes will be tracked using HMIS data. Clients will be entered into the Santa Cruz County HMIS system. Monterey County will receive a user license and will also receive data exports from Santa Cruz County for purposes of grant tracking and ERF program reporting. APR and CAPER reports will allow for understanding the longitudinal achievements of a person as they progress in a program and the combination of services that ultimately led to their housing outcomes. All partners will enter into a datasharing agreement and will customize existing HMIS and Coordinated Entry release of information forms to create a fluid space for case-conferencing. Bi-weekly case-conferencing with service providers, administrators and outreach workers will promote accountability, transparency, and data quality.
7. Are there any local ordinances, resources, or other factors that may hinder achieving the proposal’s outcomes? If so, how will the applicant navigate these challenges? (1000 character limit)
There are no local ordinances or other jurisdictional factors that would hinder achieving the proposal outcomes. The primary resource challenge will be securing housing for the participants, given the very limited supply of deeply affordable housing that is accessible to the encampment residents, particularly those who are undocumented.
8. Is this proposal a standalone project or part of a larger initiative? Larger initiative
8. a) How would this larger initiative be categorized?
Part of a larger project for this specific encampment site Please describe. (1000 character limit)
The Pajaro River Flood Risk Management Project – a $400 million effort to reduce flood risk from the lower Pajaro River and Corralitos and Salsipuedes Creeks -- will provide 100-year flood protection to the City of Watsonville and the town of Pajaro, and a mix of 100-year and 25-year flood protection to the surrounding agricultural areas. The US Army Corps of Engineers and the CA Department of Water Resources will pay 100 percent of all project costs.
Part 3: IMPLEMENTATION
Core Service Delivery and Housing Strategies
9. Describe the proposed outreach and engagement strategy, case management, and / or service coordination for people while they are continuing to reside within the encampment site. Quantify units of service to be delivered including the ratio of staff to people served, frequency of engagement, and length of service periods. (2000 character limit) CSUMB’s Center for Community Health Engagement (CHE) currently provides county-wide outreach, fieldbased case management, and housing resource navigation services to people experiencing homelessness in Monterey County. The CHE outreach team assigned to northern Monterey County is composed of two outreach workers and one MSW case manager assigned to work on the Pajaro river encampment twice per week. These activities are currently funded with HHAP from both the CoC and County allocations.
Should ERF be awarded, this team will pivot to being 50% dedicated to the project and will engage daily and will be leveraged with PLHA from County HCD and HHIP from the Managed Care Plan. This ratio equates to 1:20 and is in alignment with the Monterey County Outreach guidelines and best practices.
CHE outreach workers use person-centered and harm reduction approaches to actively develop a rapport with participants based on respect and trust to engage them in services. They have already identified encampment leaders as points of contact and this ensures there is a robust connection between the team and the encampment. One of the main goals of CHE for this project will be working to connect people from the encampment to the available interim housing options, including the planned Recurso de Fuerza noncongregate, low barrier interim housing project to be funded through this grant.
In addition to CHE, there are other community-based providers delivering services to people living in this encampment. Volunteers from Westview Presbyterian Church provide food to the residents and will continue to do so until everyone has moved from the site. Santa Cruz County outreach providers including an employment and training program known as Watsonville Works, a behavioral health outreach team known as Healing the Streets, and a federally designated Health Care for the Homeless program, known as the Homeless Persons Health Project (HPHP), also outreach to those living there.
10. Describe the role of Coordinated Entry in the context of this proposal and how Coordinated Entry policies or processes will support and / or hinder the implementation of this proposal. (1000 character limit)
Coordinated Entry is one of the tools the CHE outreach workers and interim housing case managers will utilize to connect encampment residents to housing. Participants in the ERF project will be entered into the Santa Cruz or Monterey County CES based on their preferred county of residence and where they have linkages with public benefits such as Medi-Cal. Some participants may be entered into both CES systems if they move between counties. The Medi-Cal managed care plan for the region, the Central California Alliance for Health covers the counties in the region so participants can retain their connection with the same managed care plan even when they change their county of residence. CE systems in both counties generally tend to have large backlogs of people waiting for a housing match and many are not prioritized due to their assessed level of vulnerability. We are projecting only a small number of encampment residents will secure housing through CE.
11. Please describe the interim shelter and permanent housing opportunities proposed to support this proposal and provide evidence of the applicant's demonstrated ability and commitment to deliver permanent housing for people residing in the prioritized encampment. (2000 character limit)
The Collaborative will offer both interim housing and permanent housing opportunities for residents of the encampment with the goal that 85% will secure an interim housing placement and 60% will secure permanent housing.
The area surrounding the encampment lacks easily accessible services and sheltering programs. As part
of this ERF-2 project, the Collaborative partners will stand up a 34-bed non-congregate interim housing program – Recurso de Fuerza. The project will be developed by Dignity Moves using modular units manufactured and designed by BOSS. The program operator will be HomeFirst. The project site is a lot in Watsonville owned by Westview Presbyterian Church, a key project partner that views this project as advancing their social mission. HomeFirst will operate a low-barrier, person-centered and trauma-informed program. Recurso de Fuerza will be the primary interim housing option offered to participants, but they will also be offered placement in other shelters or residential programs in the region if they are seeking another type of environment, such as a recovery residence or domestic violence shelter.
Permanent housing for the encampment residents will be challenging to secure given their high needs and immigration status. The CHE outreach team will provide navigation services to support residents to secure housing directly from the encampment, but most will first enter interim housing as the initial step to permanent housing. HomeFirst’s service model will focus on providing support to interim housing residents to secure housing via a variety of pathways. HomeFirst will leverage a flexible pool of rapid rehousing and problem-solving funds to help support rehousing activities. Leveraged housing pathways will also include Project Homekey units that are coming online in Santa Cruz County and housing placements through CE in both counties.
12. Describe how this proposal is tailored to meet the needs and preferences of people residing within the prioritized encampment. (1500 character limit) CSUMB’s Center for Community Health Engagement (CHE) is already conducting and will continue to conduct outreach and engagement with encampment residents. CHE’s approach to engagement is to first focus on building trust, which means authentically listening and meeting people where they are. Over the past several months, the CHE team has been consulting with occupants of the Pajaro River encampment to understand what they need and want as the next step in their lives. CHE interviewed over 40 residents and virtually all of them indicated they would prefer to move to interim housing, provided it is noncongregate, low-barrier and allows them to bring their partners, pets and belongings. The proposed project will meet this need through the Recurso de Fuerza interim housing project, as well as by offering other interim housing opportunities. Employment services, transportation, veterinary services, immigration services, health (SUD/physical/mental) and legal services were also listed as high priorities. Connections to these services will be offered by CHE and by HomeFirst at Recurso de Fuerza.
Throughout the project, participants will be afforded many opportunities to voice their concerns and make recommendations for improvement. HomeFirst offers frequent opportunities for feedback to further engender greater engagement with the Interim Housing program. Participants can offer input through case management sessions, satisfaction surveys, and exit interviews.

13. Describe how this proposal considers and plans for the dynamic nature of encampments including potential inflow of people into the geographically served areas. (1000 character limit) The Pajaro River encampment site has been occupied by unsheltered individuals for many years and exemplifies the dynamic nature of encampments. The site has been cleared by law enforcement numerous times, often as a safety measure in response to expected flooding, such as during the January 2023 storm event. However, residents typically return to the site within a few weeks after it is cleared. This proposal intends to serve all the current residents and has set a goal that 85% will move to interim housing. Due to the levee improvement project that will be starting in 2025, the site will be secured and people will not be able to come back. However, if there are new people who arrive at the site or people who decline interim housing, the project will continue to work with them and will offer them services, shelter, and housing. The CHE outreach team will also engage with Pajaro River encampment residents who have chosen to move to another location and encourage them to enter shelter.
14. Describe how this proposal will support individuals with continued access to and / or the storage of their personal property. (1000 character limit) The project and all the partners will embrace Housing First principles, including allowing people to bring their partners, pets, and possessions when they move to interim housing. The Recursa de Fuerza project operated by HomeFirst will allow people to bring possessions into their units. Storable personal belongings that cannot fit into non-congregate units will be stored in an onsite storage container where individuals will have access to their belongings throughout the duration of the project. Case managers will work with individuals to assess needs, wants and discardable items after trust and rapport are established.
Whenever possible, case managers will work with individuals to replace broken but important items, like medical equipment or clothing. Most of the other interim housing options that will be offered to encampment residents have capacity for storage of belongings.
15. Describe how this proposal will support individuals with service animals and/or pets. (1000 character limit)
Pets are often the only reliable and loyal living thing to a person experiencing homelessness; therefore, they too will be provided support throughout the duration of the project. Many of the current encampment residents have dogs and cats, and some have chickens. The Recurso de Fuerza interim housing program will allow people to bring their pets into their individual units. There will also be a kennel facility on site for larger animals and space for residents to keep chicken coops. All residents of the encampment will be offered pet food, litter, vaccinations, flea remediation, spaying/neutering, and chicken coops through the
SPCA and other community partners. Qualified individuals will be connected to a health provider who can provide reasonable accommodation and emotional support letters when needed and appropriate.
Budget and Resource Plan
16. State the total amount of ERF-2-R funds requested.
$7,986,354.26
17. State the estimated dollar value of secured, non-ERF-2-R resources that will help meet this proposal’s outcomes. $1,265,335.00
18. Identify and describe these non-ERF-2-R resources. (1000 character limit)
• CHE outreach team – Monterey County PLHA, Monterey
County HHIP
• HomeFirst – case management, housing specialist, clinician, shift supervisor, maintenance tech lead, janitorial services, operations, and program administration staff – in kind contribution • HomeFirst – rapid rehousing and problem-solving fund – Santa Cruz County HHAP R3 & R4, Santa Cruz County PLHA
• Santa Cruz Housing for Health Partnership – HMIS licenses – in kind contribution
19. Describe how the proposal is a prudent and effective use of requested funding relative to the number of people it seeks to serve and the types of services and housing to be provided in the proposal. Include an explanation of how the requested ERF-2-R amount was determined. (1000 character limit)
The total ERF request is $7,986,354, which translates to$114,090 per person from the encampment served. However, the collaborative partners view this project as an investment in infrastructure to reduce homelessness in Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties over the long term. Once the term of the ERF-2 grant ends, Santa Cruz County intends to prioritize available funding resources to continue operating the Recurso de Fuerza interim housing site so that it can be a continuing resource for unsheltered people throughout southern Santa Cruz County. Santa Cruz County intends to partner with the Managed Care Plan to transition the interim housing to include recuperative care and short-term post hospitalization housing capacity. Resolving this encampment will also ensure that the $400 million levee repair project overseen by the Pajaro Regional Flood Management Agency (PRFMA) can proceed without displacing people to other unsheltered locations.

Key Entities and Staff
20. First, describe the implementing organization and specific unit or office within the implementing organization that would administer ERF-2-R. Then, describe their role and primary responsibilities for this proposal. Finally, if these entities have managed a complex homelessness
project or grant, describe how those experiences informed this proposal. (1500 character limit) The implementing organization for this grant is the Monterey County Homeless Services Unit, within the County Administrative Office, Office of Legislative and Intergovernmental Affairs. This is a relatively new unit created in 2022 to coordinate work to reduce homelessness that is spread across several departments, including Social Services, Health, and Housing and Community Development. All of these Departments have experience managing complex homelessness projects including Project Roomkey, SHARE Center (Navigation Center), HDAP, Family Stabilization Program, and the Housing Support Program. For this ERF project, Monterey County’s role will be to receive and administer the funding from CA-ICH, prepare required reports, and serve as the overall coordinator of the work of the different partners.
Due to their ability to be nimbler and more flexible in contracting, Monterey County will pass through the funding to the Coalition of Homeless Services Providers (CHSP), the CoC lead agency, to enter into and manage contracts with the project partners. This will ensure the funds are disbursed and the activities implemented as quickly as possible.

21. First, describe key partners that will collectively pursue the proposal's outcomes. Then, describe their role and primary responsibilities for this proposal. Finally, if these entities have managed a complex homelessness project or grant, describe how those experiences informed this proposal. (1500 character limit)
• County of Monterey – see above.
• County of Santa Cruz, Housing for Health (H4H) Division (also serves as the CoC CA-508) - leveraged services, interim and permanent housing, CE and HMIS. Experience managing CoC, HHAP and Homekey projects among others.
• Coalition of Homeless Services Providers (CoC lead for Monterey/San Benito Counties) - manage ERF funds passed through from Monterey County for contracts with provider partners; managing HMIS and CE systems.
• City of Watsonville - supporting the overall project and assisting with the development of Recurso de Fuerza (land use approvals, etc.).
• Pajaro Region Flood Management Agency (PRFMA) -- overseeing the rebuilding of the levee where the encampment is located.
• CSUMB Community Health Engagement (CHE) – lead entity providing outreach to encampment residents; more than three-years’ experience as county-wide outreach provider. • Dignity Moves –developer of the Recurso de Fuerza modular interim housing project; prior experience with IH project development.
• HomeFirst –service provider operating the Recurso de Fuerza IH project. Providing shelter, housing and services to homeless individuals and families since 1980. • Westview Presbyterian Church – owns the land on which Recurso de Fuerza will be developed and will provide food, outreach and support to encampment residents. • Central California Alliance for Health – managed care plan, CalAIM • Community Action Board – immigration services and rehousing fund management
22. Describe specific examples of how Local Jurisdiction(s) and the CoC have collaborated on the design and implementation of this proposal. (1000 character limit) Due to the complex needs of the occupants and overlapped jurisdictional boundaries in which the encampment exists, the County of Monterey engaged with the County of Santa Cruz and its CoC, the City of Watsonville, the Coalition of Homeless Services Providers (Monterey County CoC) and the Pajaro Regional Flood Management Agency (PRFMA) to create a highly collaborative partnership, aka “The Collaborative”. The Collaborative has held regular coordination meetings with outreach teams and other direct service providers to get insight on the diverse needs of the population intended to be served by this grant. These high-level meetings provided the space and opportunity to foresee and overcome complications that may arise as the ERF project application develops. To develop this application, the Collaborative has been holding bi-weekly strategy meetings/brainstorming sessions since August 2022.
Each of the jurisdictional partners has provided a letter of support for this application.

23. Identify any entities that have a right to and/or control of the property upon which the encampment site resides and discuss whether each of these entities committed allowing the
implementation of this proposal. If they have not committed, please explain how you have or plan to engage with this entity to implement your proposal. (1000 character limit) Existing encampments within the Pajaro River corridor are positioned on both public and private lands.
Regardless of land ownership, existing levee maintaining agencies (Santa Cruz County Flood Control and Water Conservation District – Zone 7 (“Zone 7”) and Monterey County Water Resources Agency (“MCWRA”) hold maintenance easements and other rights, and in some cases fee title ownership, that allow these entities to maintain the Pajaro River levee system and the river channel. Beginning in 2023, the Pajaro Regional Flood Management Agency (“PRFMA”) will secure these rights and assume full responsibility for levee and river channel maintenance. PRFMA, and by extension the existing levee and river maintaining agencies (Zone 7 and MCWRA) are in full commitment to allow implementation of the proposal in this application which will support the current encampment residents to relocate to locations outside of the river and levee corridor, ideally in interim and/or permanent housing.
Centering People
24. How were persons with lived experience meaningfully incorporated into the planning and proposed implementation of this proposal? Please identify whether any perspectives were incorporated from persons that are currently unsheltered and / or formerly or currently residing within the prioritized encampment. (1000 character limit) The Monterey and San Benito County CoC has adopted a Five-Year Plan that was developed with strong input and involvement from people with lived experience of homelessness. One of the primary goals of the Plan is to “Expand Service-Oriented Responses to Unsheltered Homelessness” by providing services and supports to encampments, building collaborative relationships with people living in encampments, providing safe temporary housing, and connecting people to permanent housing.
The CHE outreach team and members of Westview Presbyterian have provided services and consulted with more than 40 occupants of the Pajaro River encampment to understand their needs and desires. The residents indicated they would prefer to move to interim housing, provided it is non-congregate and low barrier. The proposed project will meet this need through the new interim housing project – Recurso de Fuerza - to be funded through this grant. Encampment residents proposed this name for the project.
25. Briefly describe how the proposal exemplifies Housing First approaches as defined in Welfare and Institutions Code section 8255. (1000 character limit) Monterey County and the CoC embrace Housing First principles and require contracting agencies to align their policies and procedures to Housing First requirements as set forth by the State of CA and best practices in the field. CHE will provide trauma informed outreach and engagement services to build rapport with encampment residents and address basic needs first to steward participants away from “survivormode” and into a place where they feel safe and stable enough to voluntarily participate in supportive services and begin the journey towards housing. HomeFirst will operate the low-barrier, non-congregate interim housing program – Recurso de Fuerza. This program will not impose sobriety requirements, requirements to participate in services or other barriers; allow participants to bring pets, possessions and partners; and employ staff with expertise in housing search and navigation. The project budget includes flexible funds for rapid rehousing and housing problem solving.
26. Briefly describe how this proposal will center an individual’s choice and provide trauma informed services and supports. (1000 character limit)
The primary provider partners that will be providing services to the occupants of the Pajaro River encampment, CHE (outreach) and HomeFirst (interim housing) are well-versed in trauma-informed services and integrate this approach into their work with people experiencing homelessness. CHE outreach adopts an engagement philosophy that recognizes the impact of trauma – they seek to help people access whatever resources they first need in the moment (which could be as simple as a bottle of water) to help build trust that can lead to engaging on more challenging issues such as accessing shelter or housing. HomeFirst practices a Trauma Informed model of care that fosters supportive engagement with program participants including those in the pre-contemplative and contemplative stages of change, and in
turn contributes to increased participant involvement in goal setting, the development of their individual Housing Action Plan, and the steps necessary to execute that plan.
27. Describe how this proposal will operationalize harm reduction and provide services that improve a person’s health, dignity, and safety while they continue to reside within the prioritized encampment site. (1000 character limit)
Monterey County and the CoC embrace harm reduction principles and expect contracting agencies to implement harm reduction approaches to the maximum extent possible. CHE offers intensive, trauma informed outreach and engagement services and provides connections to a range of treatment options that include MAT and other non-abstinence focused approaches. The Recurso de Fuerza interim housing program operated by HomeFirst will not impose any sobriety requirements as a condition of access to the shelter or continuing participation. Shelter rules will focus on ensuring the safety of participants and not behavior modification or mandatory service participation. Both providers will connect participants to health and behavioral health services, as well as the Central California Alliance for Health – the regional Medi-Cal health plan and payor for CalAIM.
28. For encamped locations that are objectively dangerous, describe how the proposal will seek to prevent harm for people experiencing unsheltered homelessness in these locations. (1000 character limit)
The primary safety issue at the Pajaro River encampment is the danger of flooding. The site sits in a flood plain protected by an inadequate levee that is slated to be improved by the Pajaro Regional Flood Management Agency with federal and State funding. This proposal seeks to prevent harm by ensuring that the residents can move to an interim housing situation that meets their needs and preferences, and from there to housing. Once construction begins on the levee project, it will not be safe for people to return, so the site will be secured while under construction to prevent people from attempting to camp in a construction zone.
29. Identify what controls are or will be in place to ensure that all ERF-2-R funded parties will not penalize homelessness. The term “penalize homelessness” means to impose, by a governmental unit, criminal or civil penalties on persons who are homeless in a manner that is related to those persons’ engagement in necessary human activities, including sleeping, resting, and eating. (1000 character limit)
Currently there are no policies in place to penalize or criminalize the people living at the Pajaro River encampment. Law enforcement has required residents to evacuate during flooding events for their own safety. Occasional clean-ups are mandated to address environmental impacts of people camping in the levee area. Once the ERF project launches, the CHE outreach team will work with everyone to identify a pathway to interim housing, directly to permanent housing, or other options such as in-patient treatment.
No one will be allowed to remain on the site once construction on the levee project begins in 2025. If anyone refuses to leave, CHE will continue with daily, continual engagement. As a last result, the Monterey County Sherriff will be called in to tell people they must move.
30. Describe how this proposal considers sanitation services for people residing in the prioritized encampment. This may include but is not limited to non-intrusive, curb-side waste removal and access to clean and available bathrooms. (1000 character limit) The Pajaro Regional Flood Management Agency limits what sanitation services can be provided in the environmentally sensitive levee area where the encampment is located. As the ERF project launches, Monterey County will work with PRFMA to begin providing waste removal services to engage the residents and begin preparing them to move.
