Report
City Council Meeting: October 9, 2018
Agenda Item: 3.R
1 of 2
To: Mayor and City Council
From: David Martin, Director, City Planning
Subject: Authorization for a Budget Action as Required to Implement an LCP Grant
Authorized on September 11, 2018
Recommended Action
The City is pursuing the adoption of a Local Coastal Plan that will give the City direct
authority for regulating development and other policies in the Coastal Zone under
authority from the California Coastal Commission. Staff recommends that the City
Council authorize budget changes as outlined in the Financial Impacts & Budget Actions
section of this report, in the event that the Coastal Commission awards the City a Round
5 Planning Grant.
Discussion
The Coastal Commission has generously supported with grant funding our planning
and outreach program for the development of an authorized Local Coastal Plan. On
September 11, 2018, the Council authorized staff to apply for another Coastal
Planning Grant and adopted a resolution by a vote of 4-0. Due to the minimal quorum
present, the Council was unable to act on staff’s third recommendation to authorize
budget changes in the event that the grant is awarded. Budget changes require
approval by at least five Councilmembers. Approval of a budget action is necessary to
authorize staff to administer the requested grant in the event it is awarded. This report
recommends approval of this budget action.
The grant application for the Coastal Commission’s Round 5 Grant Cycle was
submitted on September 13, 2018, along with the adopted resolution. The budget
action presented herein is the same as recommended in the original staff report for
Item 3.G at the September 11, 2018, hearing.
