ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
The disruptions to public streets for the Strawberry Festival and the Strawberry
Stampede remain largely unchanged from last year, with the exception of the following
additional “No Parking” areas.
- North side of West Branch Street, from the entrance to the Bank of America
parking lot to Vernon Street,

- West side of Bridge Street between Traffic Way and Nelson Street,

described in greater detail later in this report, and are consistent with last year’s request.
Vendor’s tents and merchandise on Branch Street will be removed on Saturday evening
and assembled again on Sunday morning; however, Nelson Street will remain closed to
through traffic overnight to aid in event security and reduce the amount of non-potable
water necessary to fill the water barricades used to close streets during the event. In
order to operate the Strawberry Festival, the VIA has requested street closures and the

26, 2019.Stampede organizers cite concerns regarding vehicular traffic conflicting with
the 500 runners that participate in the event as reasons for the request. This is
consistent with last year’s event.
EMERGENCY PERSONNEL STAFFING:
Last year, City Council denied a request by the VIA to help pay for a portion of the
emergency personnel costs due to the rising expenses of hosting the Strawberry
Festival, and a decline of vendor sign-ups, which have resulted in reduced net income
from the festival. In an effort to reduce costs, emergency personnel staffing for the
festival has been reduced, resulting in a savings of approximately $3,600 for the VIA.
City staffing expenses for the festival are estimated at $8,000 for Police Department
Item 8.f. - Page 4
CITY COUNCIL
CONSIDERATION OF TEMPORARY USE PERMIT NO. 18-026
MARCH 26, 2019
PAGE 5
staff, $5,000 for Five Cities Fire Authority staff, and $2,500 for Public Works staff. The
total sum of $15,500 is the approximate amount to be reimbursed to the City by the VIA.
To reduce costs for this year’s festival, the Police Department has eliminated both bike
patrol positions and one motorcycle position on both Saturday and Sunday of the
festival. This will reduce staffing costs from $11,640 last year, to approximately $8,000
this year, resulting in savings of approximately $3,600 for the VIA for this year’s event.
The staffing costs are subject to slight fluctuations, contingent on the schedule and
availability of officers, and their various rates of pay.
The Five Cities Fire Authority will continue to have a fire engine staged near City Hall to
maintain appropriate response times to the eastern portion of the City during the periods
when streets are closed to traffic to accommodate the festival. This engine will be in
addition to the regular staffing pattern and will be an additional expense for the VIA.
Consistent with the past two year’s expense, the estimated cost for this engine and staff
is $5,000. The safety of festival attendees, and the community as a whole was
considered when making staffing decisions, and no impact to emergency services is
anticipated as a result of the Strawberry Festival.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council’s consideration:
1. Adopt the attached Resolution approving Temporary Use Permit 18-026;
2. Modify as appropriate and adopt the attached Resolution approving Temporary
Use Permit 18-026;
3. Do not adopt the attached Resolution;
4. Provide direction to staff.
ADVANTAGES:
The event draws thousands of visitors to the City and serves as an important
fundraising opportunity for the VIA to assist in improving the Village. The Strawberry
Stampede is a fundraising event for the Kiwanis Club of Greater Pismo Beach with
proceeds supporting youth activities in the South County.
DISADVANTAGES:
The Strawberry Festival requires the closure of City streets for long periods of time,
which can be inconvenient to citizens and visitors. The event also utilizes emergency
personnel to cover the event.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
In compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), it has been
determined that this project is Categorically Exempt per Section 15304(e) of the CEQA
Guidelines regarding minor temporary uses of land.
