Santa Monica looks to go Water Neutral BY KATE CAGLE Daily Press Staff Writer
The City hopes a new ordinance will turn off the faucet when it comes to water usage inside Santa Monica’s eight square miles. Even as future developments potentially bring thousands of new residents to downtown, the rules seek to
maintain water neutrality – meaning thousands of new showers and toilets would not increase Santa Monica’s overall demand on water resources. The City Council will consider an ordinance Tuesday that will require all new developments to be water neutral: meaning the new structures must stay within the same
water usage as previous use of the property or pay a fee. Requirements for 100 percent affordable housing projects would be less stringent than for market-rate. If passed, starting March 2018, the City would require new developments to be as water-efficient as possible through design, plumbing fixtures and non-potable water
systems. If neutrality cannot be met through those devices and systems, the developer would be required to cover the costs to offset the water usage at a different location. The proposed ordinance applies to new buildings, existing

New restaurants gear up to open inside The Gallery MARINA ANDALON Daily Press Staff Writer
After a year of complete renovation, the new and improved Gallery Food Hall is opening its doors with two new businesses, Sloan’s Ice Cream and Every Table. The Gallery Food Hall, built in 1991, is located on the 3rd St Promenade and now looks like a state of the art food hall. The hall features stunning designs, a mix of indoor and outdoor seating on two levels, and an outdoor deck overlooking the Promenade. Lately the hall has been somewhat of a ghost town, due to the lack of renters. Scott Schonfeld, Principle at Linwood Ventures, has been very selective when it comes to tenants. “I want to ensure there is an exciting mix of new businesses to serve the Santa Monica community,” Schonfeld said. He did just that. First up, Sloan’s Ice Cream. As you walk through the doors of the Gallery you will smell the sweet, natural sugar that surrounds you and see the oversized jeweled chandelier and decorations. Sloan’s Ice Cream, originally started in Florida, and has made the journey to California. “Being on 3rd St Promenade is tremendous for the visibility of the brand,” Director of Franchising, David Wild said. “People love to come to the store because it has a

Last Wednesday, Russell Braunstein was expecting to see weird charges on his credit cards. The Santa Monica resident carefully monitored his three accounts all morning. Despite the fact the man who walked off with his wallet had made off with the $160 in cash inside, the burglar used Braunstein’s credit cards for a short shopping spree through Santa Monica.

On the ice cream side they have multiple flavors, from almond

Bizet’s Opera Masterpiece “Carmen” At Santa Monica College The Santa Monica College Music Department is pleased to present SMC Opera Theatre in a performance of Georges Bizet’s masterpiece “Carmen.” Shocking and scandalous when it debuted in 1875, “Carmen” is one of the world’s most popular operas today. Performances will be held in The Broad Stage at the SMC Performing Arts Center (Santa Monica Boulevard at 11th Street, Santa Monica). Evening performances are at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 17, and Saturday, May 20. Matinee performances at 2 p.m. Saturday, May 20, and Sunday, May 21. “Carmen” tells the tale of a love gone bad in Seville, Spain, between Don José – a young and naive soldier – and Carmen, an exotic gypsy woman who seduces Don José, but whose heart yearns for the elegant toreador Escamillo. SMC Opera Theatre’s fully staged and richly costumed production sweeps audiences into the drama of deadly seduction in Bizet’s romantic and dangerous world of gypsies, smugglers, bullfighters, and Flamenco. Music by Georges Bizet, with libretto by Henri Melhac. “The greatness that is SMC allows us to incorporate our own Music students with the Santa Monica community to create the greatness that is ‘Carmen,’” said Gail Gordon, SMC Opera Theatre Director since 2009. Gordon – whose professional performance career in regional opera companies spans three decades – has taught voice at SMC since 1998. She is also the founding executive director of Santa Monica-based Opera Nova, which supports and promotes aspiring young opera singers by creating performance opportunities. The “Carmen” production includes three members of the SMC faculty. SMC Voice Professor Dr. Janelle Destefano tunes up the performance’s singers and performs in the role of Carmen, SMC Dance Professor Cihtli Ocampo contributes choreography and topnotch Flamenco, and SMC Music Coach (and accompanist) Mercedes Juan Musotto makes her debut at the podium as conductor. Tickets are $35 ($10 for current SMC students with valid ID). A modest service charge applies. Advance tickets may be purchased online at www.smc.edu/eventsinfo or by calling (310) 434-3005. Tickets may also be purchased at the box office up to 1 hour before the performance start time. Free parking available on the premises. For tickets and information, please go to www.smc.edu/eventsinfo or call (310) 4343005 or (310) 434-4323. — SUBMITTED BY GAIL GORDON, SMC MUSIC DEPARTMENT

Is it true that fuel cell cars are finally available for mainstream drivers in the U.S.?
Jack Mixson Wilmington, DE
FOR YEARS, GREEN CAR ENTHUSIASTS
have been heralding the dawn of a new era of pollution-free driving powered by fuel cells, which combine readily available hydrogen with oxygen to fire up the engine. NASA created the first commercial grade fuel cells in the 1960s to power satellites and space capsules, and automakers have been talking up their potential for use in cars and trucks ever since. But the idea has never gotten beyond the prototype stage, due mostly to the lack of any refueling infrastructure. After all, drivers are used to being able to refill their tanks on almost every corner, while the new generation of electric and plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles (EVs) can be recharged from any electrical outlet. But FCVs (fuel cell vehicles) may still represent the holy grail of auto travel because they combine the environmental benefits of electric vehicles (no reliance on fossil fuels and no pollution) with the driving range (~300 miles between refueling) of conventional cars. While GM, Hyundai and Daimler are heavily invested in fuel cell vehicle production, Toyota and Honda are already offering fuel cell vehicles for sale or lease to drivers in California, given the Golden State’s head start in creating a hydrogen refueling network. According to the California Fuel Cell Partnership, 27 hydrogen refueling stations are already up and running around metro Los Angeles and the Bay Area, with 33 more coming online soon.
Toyota’s Mirai FCV seats four and offers all the trimmings of any new car—touchscreen entertainment, dual climate control, steering wheel mounted controls, radar to prevent accidents and help with parking, and a 312 mile range per fill-up. The MSRP on the Mirai is $57,500, but Toyota is currently offering $7,500 back. Another option is a 36-month lease on the Mirai for $349/month plus $2,499 up front. Meanwhile, Honda’s new Clarity FCV is similarly appointed but offers a roomier interior (seating for five) and a longer range (366 miles per fill-up). Californians can lease the Clarity (it’s not for sale in the U.S.) for $369/month for 36 months plus $2,868 due at signing, with Honda covering the first $15,000 worth of hydrogen fuel. Drivers behind the wheel of the Mirai or Clarity qualify for a one-time $5,000 tax rebate from California for driving a green car, not to mention access to HOV lanes statewide even with just a single occupant. Of course, fuel cell drivers won’t want to leave California just yet. Outside of the Golden State, there are exactly three publicly accessible hydrogen refueling stations (Massachusetts, Connecticut and South Carolina each have one). But later this year Toyota, in partnership with France’s Air Liquide, will start to roll-out a new network of hydrogen refueling stations around the northeastern U.S. so drivers there can start to enjoy the benefits of driving the latest, greatest and greenest technology ever to grace the American road.

naive about the state of mass transit in the region at the time so I wound up mostly walking to the beach every day from my friend's apartment on 5th Street. Not the worst way to spend five days, but the City and the region have come a long way since then with greatly enhanced transit and other mobility options.” Mayor Winterer is right – the City and the region have made it so much easier to explore the Los Angeles without a car, but exploring car-free is nothing new to Santa Monica’s visitors. A sneak peak at 2016 research shows that 81% of visitors walked to get around Santa Monica. And in a survey specifically of Santa Monica’s hotel guests, the number one reason they chose to book a Santa Monica hotel over other areas in the LA region was the ability to walk to activities and attractions. Santa Monica Travel & Tourism will cap off National Travel and Tourism Week on Friday, May 12th at its 8th annual Tourism Summit. SMTT will release full 2016 figures of visitor spending at the Tourism Summit, but the program will also include breakfast and networking, exhibition tables featuring local Business Improvement Districts and cultural institutions, awards presentations and three future-focused panels of experts, answering:

(SMTT) is thrilled to launch this new biweekly column with stories from residents, City leaders, small business owners – and even some of Santa Monica’s loyal visitors about their personal Santa Monica experience and how tourism plays a role in it. The launch of this column is also in celebration of the 24th Annual National Travel and Tourism Week, which kicked off May 7. During the week, with many cities throughout the United States are hosting events to highlight how reliant the U.S. economy is on the travel industry, an economic powerhouse that brought in nearly a trillion dollars in visitor spending, and supported 15.3 million American jobs in 2016. Hospitality and tourism outperformed the aggregate of all other traded cluster export sectors since 1998, with employment expanding nearly 10% while all others shrank 1%. Destination marketing is a serious engine to drive job creation and economic growth through travel and tourism, acting as a catalyst of economic development in a broader sense by sustaining/creating jobs, creating familiarity, attracting decision makers and new investments, and in many ways, improving the quality of life for Santa Monica residents. In fact, 2015, posted visitor spending growth injected $1.84 billion into our local economy, providing more than $58 million directly into the city’s general fund. It also supported about 13,500 jobs, the vast majority of which cannot be outsourced to other places. SMTT’s main message for National Travel & Tourism Week is “When Was Your First Visit?” emphasizing the idea that many of today’s Santa Monica residents were once visitors. We want to hear about your first visit to Santa Monica – when was it? What drew you here? What made you decide to move here? And if you were lucky enough to be born in Santa Monica (like my daughter Kalei), share your story as to where you take visiting friends and family? What’s your favorite thing to see and do? To submit your story, visit www.santamonicatourism.com and you may see your story featured! Santa Monica Mayor and 25-year resident Ted Winterer shared this thought about his first time coming to the City in 1986: “I was a struggling writer looking to limit my expenses so I didn’t rent a car.

spent his career toiling in the fields in California to grow the perfect strawberry, one that was plump and bright red yet remained sweet even after the long trip to grocery stores across the country. When the professor retired from the University of California at Davis and set up his own strawberry-breeding business, though, he found himself in a legal jam. In a case set for trial in federal court later this month, the university is suing Shaw and his scientific partner, saying they stole the school's intellectual property by taking some of the fruits of their research with them. The two scientists claim in a $45 million lawsuit of their own that the university has unfairly kept some of their work locked in a freezer and is depriving the world of a better strawberry. Some farmers in the No. 1 strawberrygrowing state are worried the battle is going to stymie research and cause them to lose their competitive edge. California last year produced 1.6 million tons of strawberries valued at roughly $2 billion, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. "It doesn't do anybody any good for the university to keep these strawberry plants in a box," said Rick McKnight, an attorney for the two former professors. "This is hurting the California strawberry industry in a major way." Shaw, 63, is a giant in the strawberry world, heading the university's lucrative breeding program for more than two decades alongside fellow plant biologist Kirk Larson. Most of California's strawberry farmers grow plants developed by Shaw and Larson. The two men developed 24 new varieties, allowing growers to double the amount of strawberries produced while retaining the fruit's succulence. They created strawberries
that were more pest- and disease-resistant, more durable during long-distance travel, or capable of growing during the shorter days of spring and fall. The partners say their work netted the university $100 million in royalties. How much they themselves made at UC Davis is unclear, but they say they contributed more than $9 million of their own royalties toward the university's breeding program. They retired from the university in 2014 because, they say, the school was winding down the program. Working in partnership with growers and nurseries, they launched a business called California Berry Cultivars, based in Watsonville, to develop new strawberry varieties. The university accuses the researchers of patent infringement and violating an oath they signed not to enrich themselves by taking or acquiring plants, seeds and other biological material and continuing their research using descendants of plants they developed at UC Davis. The scientists say they own the intellectual property at issue, and they accuse the university of locking up some of their plants and destroying hundreds of others, wiping out years of research. Heading into trial, a federal judge recently scolded both the researchers and the university for their behavior and said that each side can expect to be held financially liable at trial. University spokeswoman Dana Topousis said in a statement that the school's strawberry breeding program remains in full swing. Strawberry growers are urging a quick resolution to the tangle. "Costly litigation is such a waste when there are avenues for multi-benefit collaboration," said A.G. Kawamura, a strawberry farmer, former California agriculture secretary and part owner of the California Berry Cultivars. "Our future as California strawberry growers is at stake."

health spa nearly thirty miles away in Lomita. “I guess he wanted his nails to look good for jail,” Braunstein said over the phone Wednesday afternoon from the Sheriff ’s Station in Lomita where he was waiting to identify the man who stole his wallet. It was the end of a strange day that began when Braunstein found a strange man in his bed. “It was bizarre.” In fact, it was the most bizarre thing that’s happened in the nine years Braunstein has lived at the corner of Hollister and Neilson Way. He awoke in the middle of the night when he heard a strange sound outside. “I heard some noise, like a door close or something so I walked out on the west side of the house,” Braunstein said. “I hadn’t set the alarm on my truck so I did that. I walked around to the other side, the Neilson side.” When Braunstein didn’t see anything suspicious, he turned around to go back to bed. “I walk back to my door and it’s closed and it’s locked. So he must have been somewhere where I couldn’t see him. It’s pretty dark out there.” Fortunately, Braunstein had grabbed his keys when he walked outside and easily got back in. “And I walk in the door and he’s in my bed.” Although the entire situation transpired in just a few minutes, the strange man was already under the covers when he looked up at Braunstein and simply said “hey, dude.” “Well, I was a little surprised,” Braunstein said, “needless to say.” After Braunstein informed the man his bed was already occupied for the night (by himself). The stranger asked if he had a couch he could use instead. The answer was no, so the man apparently grabbed Braunstein’s wallet and moved on to a neighbor’s downstairs couch. That homeowner snapped a photo when he discovered his uninvited couch-surfer the next morning. From then on, the couch surfer allegedly treated himself to a new phone, some food and a spa service courtesy Braunstein’s credit cards. It is not the first time police have responded to the corner of Hollister and Neilson in the past month. Just a few weeks earlier, a neighbor’s 9-year-old grandson chased down an alleged burglar who walked

into her home and stole her purse across the street. Both cases ended in arrests, with the Los Angeles Sheriff ’s Department arresting 28-year-old Edward Burrows in Lomita Wednesday. He was allegedly in possession of a wallet containing Braunstein’s credit cards and driver’s license. Police say Burrows, who is homeless, admitted to breaking into a home and taking a wallet. He’s now in fail facing burglary charges. As property crime rises across major cities in California, Santa Monica neighborhoods have not been immune. As of April this year, there had been 111 residential burglaries in Santa Monica, 51 commercial burglaries and 364 car break-ins, according to statistics provided by SMPD. Police believe decreased penalties for low-level offenders are contributing to the regional spike.. While unattended cars and bikes are still the major targets in the City, the spike is causing more neighbors to realize the importance of locking their doors or even installing security systems and cameras to catch burglars looking for crimes of opportunity. Residents can schedule a free security check of their home by a police officer by contacting SMPD’s Community Relations Unit at (310) 458-8474. The department recommends motion-censored outdoor lights to scare off intruders and always locking your doors and windows, even when leaving for just a minute.

buildings with extensive remodeling and new or enlarged swimming pools, spas, water features and ponds. The City has permitted more than 150 new swimming pools since 2014, the year Governor Jerry Brown declared a drought state of emergency. While the statewide drought is officially over, with Los Angeles County boasting “moderate drought” status for the first time in years, environmental leaders say now is the time to enact laws that plan for the future. Despite the rain earlier this year and elevated snowpack, 10.2 million Californians still live in drought areas, according to Drought Monitor. “There’s a statewide shift in trying to use water efficiently and this really locks-
in Santa Monica’s water use in an efficient way,” said Tracy Quinn, senior policy analyst for the Natural Resources Defense Council’s water program. The NRDC worked with the City on developing the ordinance. “A handful of other cities across the US have already adopted water neutrality ordinances, this allowed Santa Monica to have a better understanding of best practices in order to create a policy that would be most effective for the City,” Quinn said. The projected water usage for a new home or development would be determined by a “water demand calculator” posted on the city website. The calculator would include water use projections for toilets, showers, faucets, climate controls systems, landscaping, and water features. The Office of Sustainability and the Environment would review projections.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (May 8)
Developers who cannot reach water neutrality could either pay a fee that would go toward retrofitting existing buildings with water saving systems or perform their own retrofits at other properties. The fees could potentially be substantial for a developer replacing a one-story structure with a multistory apartment complex. While private homeowners will also be governed by the ordinance, city staff says the ordinance would not apply to a new garage with no plumbing fixtures, or even a kitchen or bath remodel unless more than 50 percent of the walls or structural supports are removed. The discussion over the water neutrality ordinance comes as key stakeholders including the Chamber of Commerce, developers and activists are calculating the new costs of construction dictated in the final draft of the Downtown Community
Plan, the 300 page zoning document that will set fees for the next two decades. The community only has a few months to provide input on the plan which will likely be finalized this summer. Those stakeholders furiously working to calculate the estimated costs of new affordable housing requirements, transportation fees, impact fees, and open space requirements in the DCP. Several groups and developers contacted by the Daily Press for this story said they simply haven’t had time to look over the water neutrality ordinance’s potential impact on their bottom line. The neutrality ordinance will be discussed at Tuesday’s City Council meeting. Closed session starts at 5:30 p.m. at 1685 Main Street inside Council Chambers.
