• The applicant for the project DR 23-140 (Esperanza Carmel Commercial – JB Pastor Building) proposed relocating the concrete ornamental wall (“wall”) at the Palo Alto Savings and Loan Complex on the Southeast Corner of 7th Avenue and Dolores Street. • The Historic Resources Board (HRB) issued a Determination of Consistency with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards to proceed with the project on July 17, 2023. • During the 10-day appeal period, two Councilmembers, Dramov and Ferlito enacted the City Council Right of Review per CMC 2.04.160 to review the decision made by the HRB both specifically noting the relocation of the concrete wall as the primary concern.

Council Members Dramov and Ferlito addressed their specific concerns about the relocation of the wall, stating that it is a historic and artistic wall, and the project is not consistent with the Secretary of Interior’s Standards.

The applicant for the Project spoke about the project and mentioned that he has been working with the City Planners and Historian to preserve the historical element of the wall by relocating the wall. He requested that the City Council uphold the decision of the HRB. Ryan Eshman, on behalf of the applicant, spoke in favor of the HRB’s decision and said he disagreed that the proposed project is inconsistent with the Secretary of Interior’s standards, and reiterated that relocating the wall is a good compromise.

Motion by Mayor Pro Tem Richards to read by title only, waive full reading and introduce Ordinance 2023-006, incorporating the additional language proposed to 17.46.070 “Posted and Hand Delivered Notices” that the Director shall provide the hand delivered postcard notice to neighbors within 100-foot radius of the site, and add additional language to

17.46.080(A)1.a regarding “or have an adverse impact on property values.” Motion Seconded by Councilmember Dramov.

Council discussion resumed.

Councilmember Baron made a friendly amendment to the motion to request removing Historic Resources Board (HRB) approval from the process. Amendment failed due to lack of second.

Councilmember Dramov made a friendly amendment to the original motion by Mayor Pro Tem Richards to amend the Ordinance language to state that the HRB review and Planning Commission review occur at a joint meeting. Amendment failed due to lack of second.

Mayor Pro Tem Richards re-stated his original motion, to read by title only, waive full reading and introduce Ordinance 2023-006, incorporating the additional language proposed to 17.46.070 “Posted and Hand Delivered Notices” that the Director shall provide the hand delivered postcard notice to neighbors within 100-foot radius of the site, and add additional language to 17.46.080(A)1.a regarding “or have an adverse impact on property values.” Motion Seconded by Councilmember Dramov.

Council discussion resumed.

Councilmember Baron asked if Council would agree to amend the motion on the table further, to amend Ordinance section 17.46.070.C to state that the Planning Commission or HRB “may hold a special meeting if required”, and 17.46.080.1.A amending the Ordinance language to state that the proposed wireless facility complies with all the applicable development design guidelines, and to move the property value section into the worksheet.

Council discussion resumed. Motion amendment by Councilmember Baron died due to lack of second.

Mayor Pro Tem Richards made a new motion, to read by title only, waive full reading and introduce Ordinance 2023-006 “clean version” proposed, with the following two amendments:
1) Amend the language in 17.46.070 (A) 1 to “the Director shall provide the hand delivered postcard notice to neighbors within 100-foot radius of the site”; and 2) Add additional language to 17.46.080(A)1.a regarding “or have an adverse impact on property values.”
Motion Seconded by Councilmember Dramov. City Attorney Pierik read the full title of Ordinance 2023-006.

CITY OF CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA
Public Works Department
August 2023 Monthly Report
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY: Robert M. Harary, P.E., Director of Public Works SUBMITTED ON: September 5, 2023
APPROVED BY: Chip Rerig, City Administrator
City Council Meeting of August 1, 2023
• Adopted Resolution 2023-077, awarding a construction contract to Bowen Engineering for the Mission Trail Nature Preserve (MTNP) Well Decommissioning, and Tank and Pump House Removal Project for an amount, with contingency, of $139,700.

Forest and Beach Commission Meeting of August 10, 2023
• At Ocean Avenue, 4 northeast of Guadalupe, deferred a request to prune limbs of a significant oak tree owned by a neighbor, until there is more information regarding a proposed, second story addition. • Approved the removal of one Coast live oak located close to a house and with a significant lean, but only upon approval of a planning Design Study and issuance of a Building Permit. • At the southwest corner of Santa Fe and Mountain View Avenue, approved the removal of 2 Coast live oaks and required replanting of two upper canopy trees at the Applicant’s expense. These trees were adjacent to other trees that fell during the storms and destroyed a garage that needs to be rebuilt. • At Camino Real, 2 northwest of Thirteenth Avenue, approved the removal of a Monterey pine causing substantiated damage to a house, and required planting of one upper canopy tree at the Applicant’s expense.
• For the Coastal Engineering Study, Dr. Revell, a consultant with Integral Corp, presented results of their Seasonal and Long-Term Beach and Shoreline Change Analysis. Commissioners expressed concern that the Analysis did not give rise to the serious condition of the beach infrastructure and potential risks. The consultants will provide a draft of the technical report’s Executive Summary for Commission review at an upcoming meeting.
• For the Urban Forest Master Plan (UFMP), Tom Ford providing an overview of the first Public Workshop held in July, and the status of consultant Davey Resource Group’s development of the UFMP. He suggested to have DRG review the final draft UFMP Community Survey for any comments before it is released to the general public. Commissioners requested holding a Special Meeting to focus on this item.
• As a Beautification Project, three design options were presented for the five raised median islands along Ocean Avenue. Forester Ono presented Option #1, which was approved in February 2022 and implemented in the island between Lincoln and Monte Verde Streets. He also presented Option #2 which was the original design by landscape architect Thomas Church when the medians were constructed in 1938. Alan Wheat, Professor of Horticulture at MPC, presented Option #3 which would embellish Option #1 with more tree work, create a “pollinator pathway,” and install a greater variety of local plants and shrubs. With public support, the Commission selected the Option #3 design concept. • Commissioner Sours provided an overview of the Commission's Carmel Beach Tour of Inspection in July, and discussed the need for maintenance and urgent repairs of several coastal protection structures, including vertical seawalls, sloping revetments, stairways, and storm drains. • Presented the Public Works Reports, including the Forestry Division Updates, for June and July 2023.

Attachment 4
Public Works Department Report – August 2023

Traffic Safety Committee Meeting of August 23, 2023
• Committee reviewed MTNP documents allowing limited bicycle access on main trails only, existing bike signs, and a few prior complaints. While noting off-trail bikes and e-bikes do cause damage to the Preserve, but recognizing limited capacity to enforce the rules, the Committee decided to continue to monitor the situation.
• Request for “Cross Traffic Does Not Stop” signs at the Monte Verde Street and Seventh Avenue intersection was denied.
• Request to remove a green loading zone on Lincoln Street, north of Eighth Avenue, was approved. • Request to convert a compact parking stall in the Park Branch Library parking lot, adjacent to Junipero Street, to motorcycle only parking, was approved.
• Request for three new “Stop” signs, one for westbound First Avenue at the T-intersection with Pescadero Road, and two at the Second Avenue and Lincoln Street intersection, were supported and will be presented to the City Council for approval at an upcoming Council meeting.

City Council Special Meeting of July 20, 2023
• Workshop included Council review of 22 Strategic Priorities for the City. Ten priorities pertaining to Public Works included: Police Building Renovation Project, reducing fire risk through fuel reduction, development of the Urban Forest Master Plan, updating the Stormwater Ordinances, volunteer oversight/facilitation/ appreciation, increasing beautification efforts, developing facility maintenance plans and renovation projects, Rule 20A undergrounding utilities, exploring Scout House options, and the Coastal Engineering Study/Climate Committee.
• Based on Council guidance, as well as public comments and input from the Carmel Resident’s Association Survey, these strategic initiatives will proceed with generally minor modifications. One notable change will be to dissect the Rule 20A Undergrounding Project into a one-time, limited project using Rule 20A funds, from a long-range, City-wide undergrounding feasibility program.

Administration
• Jaime Aquino, a 25-year veteran with the City, was promoted to Maintenance Worker III. • Project Manager Javier Hernandez represented Carmel at the annual American Public Works Association Conference in San Diego.
• Received $21,500 from the Transportation Agency of Monterey County (TAMC) for reimbursement of eligible Regional Transportation Improvement Program expenses, including traffic paint, EV charging station connections, and sidewalk repairs.
• Met with representative of the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) regarding the Scout House renovation project. The City’s adopted resolutions assumed the proposed project was exempt from the Surplus Lands Act; but, per HCD, the Surplus Lands Act did not apply. • Working with the Finance Department, checked over the Master Contracts database, removed expired contracts and agreements, and began updating the database with active contracts and agreements. • Developed a plan for extra trash bins, portable toilets, and sinks rented for holiday weekends and special events, so that they rotate along Scenic Road, rather than repeatedly placed in two locations. • All Public Works staff attended Traffic Control Safety training.

Carmel Cares and Other Volunteers
• Substantially completed construction of the Scenic Pathway Guardrail Repair Project. • Received design review approval for new cigarette butt containers provided by Keep America Beautiful, to replace the existing, smaller “Butt Stops Here” containers. New containers will also be attached to trash containers.
• “Median Minders” volunteers continued to improve medians across the Village. • “Downtown Detail” volunteers continued to beautify bulb-outs and sidewalks in the downtown area. • “Pick Up Posse” and “Tag Team” volunteers continued to pick up trash, eradicate graffiti, and remove illegal stickers.
• The Friends of Mission Trail Nature Preserve improved the Doolittle Trail making it safer to travel around a muddy bog.
• Cindy Lloyd pruned and beautified the flower beds and plants around the WWI Memorial Arch.

Grant submitted to City Council for approval at the September 12th meeting. • Met with the City Attorney’s office to review modifications requested by the Coastal Commission regarding the City’s draft Stormwater Ordinance updates. Some modifications were removed, and the ordinances are now ready for the first Public Hearing at the October Council meeting. • Held kickoff meeting with Denise Duffy & Associates for the North Dunes Habitat Restoration Project.

DDA prepared an initial memorandum assessing the existing conditions of the site, noted overall good conditions, and recommended minor repairs to fencing, and removal of ice plant and acacia saplings. • Began contacting volunteers to schedule consistent, ongoing weed pulling and ice plant removals in the North Dunes habitat area.
• So that all entities that clean up Carmel Beach do so consistently and within the standards of a Marine Sanctuary and Area of Special Biological Significance, developed a draft list of trash items that should be removed from the beach, natural materials that should remain on the beach, items to be recycled, lost and found items to be reported to the Police, and phone numbers for various mammals found injured or deceased on the beach. Draft Policy to be presented to Forest and Beach Commission on September 14th.

RECOMMENDATION:

It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Adopt Ordinance No. 2023-006, which constitutes reading of the title and waiver of reading of the ordinance which would amend the Carmel Municipal Code (CMC) Title 17 (Zoning) by repealing and replacing chapter 17.46 (Telecommunications and Wireless Facilities) and making conforming amendments to Zoning Code sections 17.08.040, 17.12.020, 17.14.030, 17.14.220, 17.18.030,

2. Direct staff to submit a Local Coastal Program Amendment Application to the California Coastal Commission for certification of Ordinance No. 2023-006 as adopted, and to be carried out in a manner in full conformity to the California Coastal Act.

BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Carmel-by-the-Sea is in the process of updating regulations pertaining to wireless (e.g.: cell phone) telecommunication facilities. In March, 2023, the Planning Commission held a public workshop on a first-draft ordinance package. Several comments were received from the public and Commission as part of that workshop. Since that time, staff worked with outside legal counsel to prepare a second-draft ordinance package in response to feedback received as part of the workshop. This second-draft was presented to the Planning Commission in August, 2023 to receive comments and provide a formal recommendation for adoption of a final-draft to City Council. On September 12, 2023, the City Council held a first reading, and provided minor edits to be incorporated for the second reading and adoption of the ordinance. City Council is now being asked to consider adoption this wireless ordinance.

DISCUSSION
Background
At the Direction of City Council, the Community Planning and Building Department, with support from the City Attorney and special outside Counsel, has been drafting updates to the City’s telecommunications and wireless facility regulations. From the outset, the policy direction from City Council was to draft the strongest wireless ordinance possible to protect the special and unique characteristics of Carmel-by-the-Sea while remaining consistent with relevant State and Federal Telecommunication Laws. Since that time, multiple drafts of the ordinance package have been prepared for community and Planning Commission feedback, ultimately leading to a final draft that is now being considered by Council.

First Reading
At their September 12th meeting, City Council considered a final draft of the wireless ordinance, which incorporated comments and direction from nearly two years of public process. Council voted to introduce the ordinance via a first reading, approved minor corrections/revisions, and directed staff to return for adoption of the new wireless regulations at the following City Council meeting. A redline version (Attachment 1) has been included to show these minor revisions approved by Council as part of the first reading. A clean version of the ordinance (Attachment 2) has also been included.

As part of their September decision, City Council also put their stamp of approval on the Administrative Wireless Facility Design Guidelines that were adopted by the Planning Commission. These guidelines, along with the other companion administrative documents (Application Checklist, Design Guidelines, etc.) became effective upon Planning Commission approval their August 23rd Special Meeting.

Adoption and Next Steps
Ordinance No. 2023-006 requires a first and second reading of the ordinance for adoption. The first reading has been conducted, and Council is now being asked to conduct a second reading and formal adoption of the ordinance. Following Council adoption, the ordinance must still be considered and certified by the California Coastal Commission (CCC) as part of a Local Coastal Program (LCP) amendment prior to becoming effective.

The ordinance would become effective immediately upon certification by the CCC. It is estimated that it will take anywhere from three to six months to get on the Coastal Commission agenda.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Staff time associated with development and processing of the wireless ordinance amendments is covered in the City’s adopted FY 2023-24 budget. Time spent by the City’s outside legal counsel is covered as part of specialized legal services, under the Contract Support line item for City Attorney services in the FY 2023-24 adopted City Budget.

PRIOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION:

The City Council approved first reading of the Ordinance on September 12, 2023.

and situations relating to fire safety, traffic circulation, parking and pedestrian safety; and
WHEREAS, if not adequately regulated, the installation of personal wireless services facilities within the City can pose a threat to the public health, safety, and welfare; traffic and pedestrian safety hazards; negative impacts to trees; creation of visual and aesthetic blights and potential safety concerns arising from improper design or excessive size, heights, noise, or lack of camouflaging; and WHEREAS, the City therefore intends to exercise its powers to regulate personal wireless service facilities to the maximum extent allowed by law, to protect its residents and visitors, promote public health, safety and community welfare, preserve the natural resources and unique scenic quality of Carmel-by-the-Sea, and protect the character of the City’s residential neighborhoods, while nonetheless respecting and adhering to the law as it is today and may change in the future; and
WHEREAS, the City Council and Planning Commission held a joint special meeting on wireless regulation on February 28, 2022 to receive an update on changes to the law, to receive public feedback and to provide general direction to staff on an update to the City’s wireless regulations; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission conducted a duly noticed public workshop on a draft of the wireless regulations (ordinance, design guidelines, standard conditions of approval, and application forms) on March 29, 2023 to receive public feedback; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on the proposed ordinance, design guidelines, standard conditions of approval, and application forms on August 23, 2023 at which it took public testimony, held a discussion, and voted to adopt the design guidelines, standard conditions of approval, and application forms, and to recommend that City Council adopt of the proposed code amendments (Resolution No.2023-044__);
WHEREAS, on September 12, 2023 the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing on the proposed code amendments;
WHEREAS, the City determined this ordinance is not a project within the meaning of Section 15378 of the State of California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines; and
WHEREAS, the proposed amendments are in full conformity with the City’s Local Coastal Plan and the California Coastal Act (Public Resources Code Section 30510 et seq.)
SECTION 1. CEQA Review. This Ordinance is not a project within the meaning of Section 15378 of the State of California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) Guidelines, because it has no potential for resulting in physical change in the environment, directly or indirectly. The Ordinance does not authorize any specific development or installation on any specific piece of property within the City’s boundaries. Moreover, when and if an Attachment 1

application for installation is submitted, the City will at that time conduct preliminary review of the application in accordance with CEQA. Alternatively, even if the Ordinance is a “project” within the meaning of State CEQA Guidelines section 15378, the Ordinance is exempt from CEQA on multiple grounds. First, the Ordinance is exempt CEQA because the City Council’s adoption of the Ordinance is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. (State CEQA Guidelines, § 15061(b)(3)). That is, approval of the Ordinance will not result in the actual installation of any facilities in the City. In order to install a facility in accordance with this Ordinance, the applicant would have to submit an application for installation of the wireless facility. At that time, the City will have specific and definite information regarding the facility to review in accordance with CEQA. And, in fact, the City will conduct preliminary review under CEQA at that time.

The City Council therefore directs that a Notice of Exemption be filed with the County Clerk of the County of Monterey within five working days of the passage and adoption of the Ordinance.

SECTION 2. Repeal and Replacement of Chapter 17.46. Chapter 17.46 of Title 17 of the Carmel-by-the-Sea Municipal Code is hereby repealed in its entirety and replaced with the following:

B. Findings. The City Council hereby finds that:

1. Limitations on the placement of wireless facilities within the City limits are necessary to:
a. Protect Carmel-by-the-Sea’s distinct “village in a forest, by the sea” character with its centralized commercial core surrounded by residential land uses. b. Protect Carmel-by-the Sea’s charm as a popular visitor destination, known as much for its spectacular coast as for its unique community character. c. Recognize and respect that Carmel-by-the-Sea is among a limited number of California coastal communities where nearly the entire shoreline from the first public road to the sea is open to the public and easily accessible, and that over the years, Carmel has maintained a balance between preserving the beauty of the shoreline environment and adding the physical improvements that make the Carmel shoreline accessible and enjoyable to the public, keeping the entire beach and bluff as natural appearing as possible consistent with public access, habitat protection, safety and provision of limited recreational support facilities. d. Recognize and respect that Carmel-by-the-Sea’s streets are narrow in width, 26 to 34 feet, with few gutters or sidewalks and that this lack of formal development of streets throughout Carmel (with the exception of some of the downtown thoroughfares) has been a conscious effort on the part of residents to maintain a “village in a forest” atmosphere, and gives rise to many unique situations relating to traffic, circulation, parking and pedestrian safety.

2. Personal wireless services can serve as an important and effective part of Carmelby-the-Sea’s emergency response and communications.

3. The regulations contained herein are designed to promote public health, safety and community welfare, preserve the natural resources and scenic quality of Carmel-bythe-Sea and protect the character of the City’s residential neighborhoods, recognizing that the preservation of the residential character in Carmel is central to all land uses, consistent with the findings in (1) and (2), while regulating managed development of wireless infrastructure throughout the City.

4. The provisions of this chapter are intended to:
a. Comply with all applicable goals, objectives and policies of the General Plan, the City’s Local Coastal Program and the California Coastal Act. b. Minimize adverse aesthetic impacts associated with wireless facilities in all districts.
c. Preserve Carmel’s primarily residential character by keeping business and commerce subordinate to its residential character.

2. “eligible support structure” means the same as defined by the FCC in 47 C.F.R. § 1.6100(b)(4) which means any tower or base station, provided that it is existing at the time the relevant eligible facilities request application is filed with the State or local government.

3. “existing” means the same as defined by the FCC in 47 C.F.R. §

1.6100(b)(4) which means a constructed tower or base station is “existing” for purposes of an EFR, if it has been reviewed and approved under the applicable zoning or siting process, or under another State or local regulatory review process, provided that a tower that has not been reviewed and approved because it was not in a zoned area when it was built, but was lawfully constructed, is existing for purposes of this definition.

4. “site” means the same as defined by the FCC in 47 C.F.R. § 1.6100(b)(6), which means that for towers other than towers in the public rights-of-way, the current boundaries of the leased or owned property surrounding the tower and Attachment 1

Page 11 of 35 ends

any access or utility easements currently related to the site, and, for other eligible support structures, further restricted to that area in proximity to the structure and to other transmission equipment already deployed on the ground. The current boundaries of a site are the boundaries that existed as of the date that the original support structure or a modification to that structure was last reviewed and approved by a State or local government, if the approval of the modification occurred prior to the Spectrum Act or otherwise outside of the Section 6409(a) process.

5. “substantial change” or “substantially change” means the same as defined by the FCC in 47 C.F.R. § 1.6100(b)(7), which establishes different criteria based on the particular facility type and location. For clarity, the definition in this chapter reorganizes the FCC’s criteria and thresholds for a substantial change according to the facility type and location.
a. For towers outside the public rights-of-way, a substantial change occurs when:
i. the proposed collocation or modification increases the overall height more than 10% or the height of one additional antenna array with separation from the nearest antenna not to exceed 20 feet (whichever is greater); or
ii. the proposed collocation or modification increases the width more than 20 feet from the edge of the wireless tower or the width of the wireless tower at the level of the appurtenance (whichever is greater); or
iii. the proposed collocation or modification involves the installation of more than the standard number of equipment cabinets for the technology involved, not to exceed four; or
iv. the proposed collocation or modification involves excavation or deployment outside the current boundaries of the leased or owned property surrounding the wireless tower by more than 30 feet in any direction. The site boundary from which the 30 feet is measured excludes any access or utility easements currently related to the site.
b. For towers in the public rights-of-way and for all base stations, a substantial change occurs when:
i. the proposed collocation or modification increases the overall height more than 10% or 10 feet (whichever is greater); or Attachment 1
CC MEETING DRAFT ADOPTED FIRST READING SEPTEMBER 2023

PC RECOMMENDED DRAFT

Page 12 of 35 ends

ii. the proposed collocation or modification increases the width more than 6 feet from the edge of the wireless tower or base station; or iii. the proposed collocation or modification involves the installation of any new equipment cabinets on the ground when there are no existing ground-mounted equipment cabinets; or
iv. the proposed collocation or modification involves the installation of any new ground-mounted equipment cabinets that are ten percent (10%) larger in height or volume than any existing ground-mounted equipment cabinets; or
v. the proposed collocation or modification involves excavation or deployment outside the area in proximity to the structure and other transmission equipment already deployed on the ground.
c. In addition, for all towers and base stations wherever located, a substantial change occurs when:
i. the proposed collocation or modification would defeat the existing concealment elements of the eligible support structure as determined by the reviewing authority; or
ii. the proposed collocation or modification violates a prior condition of approval, provided however that the collocation need not comply with any prior condition of approval related to height, width, equipment cabinets or excavation that is inconsistent with the thresholds for a substantial change described in this definition. d. The thresholds for a substantial change outlined above are disjunctive.

The failure to meet any one or more of the applicable thresholds means that a substantial change would occur. The thresholds for height increases are cumulative limits from the originally-permitted eligible support structure. For sites with horizontally separated deployments, the cumulative limit is measured from the originally-permitted eligible support structure without regard to any increases in size due to wireless equipment not included in the original design. For sites that existed prior to February 22, 2012, the cumulative limit for vertically separated deployments is measured from the permitted site dimensions as they existed on February 22, 2012—the date that P.L. 112-96 was signed into law.

A. General. This chapter applies to all requests for the City’s regulatory authorization to construct, install, operate, collocate, modify, relocate, remove or otherwise deploy wireless facilities on property within the City’s territorial and jurisdictional boundaries, unless expressly exempted pursuant to subsection (B).

This includes permit applications submitted to the City for decision in its regulatory capacity for wireless facilities on property or structures owned or controlled by the City and located within the City, including in public rights-ofway; provided, however, that this chapter does not govern whether or under what terms and conditions the City, in its capacity as the property or structure owner, would lease, license or otherwise allow a wireless facility on such property or structures.

B. This chapter shall not be applicable to the following:

1. wireless facilities installed completely indoors and used to extend personal wireless services into a business or the subscriber’s private residence, such as a “femtocell” or indoor distributed antenna system;

2. OTARD antennas which are regulated pursuant to Chapter 15.40 (Antennas and Satellite Dishes);

3. antennas and related transmission equipment used in connection with a duly authorized amateur station operated by a federally licensed amateur radio operator as part of the Amateur Radio Service; provided, that its maximum height does not exceed the height requirements of the zoning district;

4. wireless facilities or other transmission equipment owned and operated by CPUC-regulated electric companies for use in connection with electrical power, generation, transmission and distribution facilities subject to CPUC General Order 131-D;

5. temporary wireless facilities parked in a fixed location within the public rightsof-way for no longer than 10 days under an approved special events permit pursuant to Chapter 12.48.

17.46.040 General Development Standards.

A. Location Standards. When considering compatibility of a location and structure for Type I, Type II, Type III and Type IV wireless facilities, the City requires applicants to propose those that will be the least intrusive to community character and values. Subsection B provides a ranking that describes Zoning Districts where wireless facilities are least compatible to most compatible with other uses.

Subsection C provides the City’s preference for placements on parcels over public rights-of-way. Subsection D provides structure rankings. Subsection E provides additional special considerations for site selection on public right-ofway.

Attachment 1
CC MEETING DRAFT ADOPTED FIRST READING SEPTEMBER 2023

Page 14 of 35 ends

B. Ranked Locations. Applicants must propose placement in locations with the least intrusive land use designation (i.e.: Zoning) technically feasible and potentially available. Applications proposing placement in Tier I or II must include a written justification as part of the application submittal, supported by factual and verifiable evidence, that shows no location in a Tier III land use tier is technically feasible and available. The following land use tiers are ranked from least compatible to most compatible:

Tier I (Least Compatible):

Senior Citizen Facility (A-3), Multi-Family Residential (R-4), Single-Family Residential (R-1), and Residential and Limited Commercial (RC).

Tier II:

Improved Parklands (P-2), Natural Parklands and Preserves (P-1), and Theatrical (A-1).

Tier III (Most Compatible):

Central Commercial (CC), Service Commercial (SC), and Community and Cultural (A-2).

C. Preference for Placement on Public and Private Parcels Over on Public Right-of-Way.

Placement on public and private parcels is strongly preferred over placements in the public rights-of-way because Carmel’s public rights-of-way are narrow in width (26 to 34 feet), with few gutters or sidewalks. Limiting wireless facilities in public rights-of-way is necessary: (i) to ensure that the flow of pedestrian and vehicular traffic, including ingress to, or egress from, any residence, public building, or place of business or from the street to the sidewalk, by persons exiting or entering parked or standing vehicles is maintained; (ii) to provide reasonable access for the use and maintenance of sidewalks, pathways, hydrants, restrooms, trash receptacles, firefighting apparatus, as well as access to locations used for public transportation services; (iii) to ensure no interference to the performance of police, firefighter, and other emergency medical personal; and (iv) to maximize public access in the commercial districts and along the coast which have unusually high pedestrian and vehicular traffic volumes.

Applications proposing placement in the public right-of-way must include a written justification as part of the application submittal, supported by factual and verifiable evidence, that shows placement on a parcel is not technically feasible and available

F. Design Standards

1. General Requirements. This subsection establishes generally applicable design standards for all Type I, Type II, Type III and Type IV wireless facilities in all locations. The design of Type I, Type II, Type III and Type IV wireless facilities must also comply with applicable administrative guidelines adopted by the Planning Commission pursuant to subsection 17.46.040(B)(2), Chapter

17.58, and the City Council pursuant to subsection 17.58.020(E). a. Stealth/Concealment. All wireless facilities must be stealth to the maximum extent feasible. Colors and materials for wireless facilities shall be muted, subdued, non-reflective and chosen to minimize visibility to the greatest extent feasible.
b. Overall Height. On public and private parcels, wireless facilities may not exceed more than 10 feet above the maximum height allowed by this code for the underlying zoning district where the facility is proposed. In the public rightof-way, wireless facilities on an existing pole may not have an overall height that exceeds the height of the existing pole by more than 10 feet and wireless facilities that involve a replacement pole or a new pole may not have an overall height that is more than 10 feet above the height of the replaced pole or existing poles in the vicinity unless additional height necessary to comply with CPUC safety standards such as General Order 95.
c. Finishes. All exterior surfaces shall be painted, colored, and/or wrapped in flat, muted, subdued, non-reflective hues that match the underlying structure or blend with the surrounding environment. All exterior surfaces on wireless facilities shall be constructed from, or coated with, graffiti-resistant materials.

All finishes shall be subject to the reviewing authority’s prior approval. d. Noise. All wireless facilities must be compliant with all applicable noise regulations, which includes, without limitation, any noise regulations in this Attachment 1
CC MEETING DRAFT ADOPTED FIRST READING SEPTEMBER 2023

PC RECOMMENDED DRAFT

Page 18 of 35 ends

code. The reviewing authority may require the applicant to incorporate appropriate noise-baffling materials and/or noise-mitigation strategies to avoid any ambient noise from equipment reasonably likely to exceed the applicable noise regulations.
e. Lights. Wireless facilities may not include exterior lights other than as may be required under Federal Aviation Administration, FCC, other applicable federal or state governmental regulations. All exterior lights permitted or required to be installed must be installed in locations and within enclosures that mitigates illumination impacts on other properties to the maximum extent feasible. Any lights associated with the electronic equipment shall be appropriately shielded from public view. Any light beacons or lightning arresters shall be included in the overall height calculation.
f. Trees and Landscaping. Wireless facilities shall not be installed (in whole or in part) on new poles within any tree drip line. Wireless facilities may not displace any existing tree or landscape and/or hardscape features. All wireless facilities proposed to be placed in a landscaped area must include landscape and/or hardscape features (which may include, without limitation, trees, shrubs and ground cover) and a landscape maintenance plan. The existing native vegetation shall be maintained to the maximum extent feasible. The reviewing authority may require additional landscape features to screen the wireless facility from public view, avoid or mitigate potential adverse impacts on adjacent properties or otherwise enhance the stealth techniques required under this chapter. All plants proposed or required must be reviewed as part of a formal landscaping plan and approved by the City. g. Signage; Advertisements. All wireless facilities must include signage that accurately identifies the equipment owner/operator, the owner/operator’s site name or identification number and a toll-free number to the owner/operator’s network operations center. Wireless facilities may not bear any other signage or advertisements unless expressly approved by the reviewing authority, required by law or recommended under FCC or other federal governmental agencies for compliance with RF emissions regulations.
h. Security Measures. To prevent unauthorized access, theft, vandalism, attractive nuisance or other hazards, reasonable and appropriate security measures, such as fences, walls and anti-climbing devices, may be approved.

Security measures shall be designed and implemented in a manner that enhances or contributes to the overall stealth, and the reviewing authority may condition approval on additional stealth elements to mitigate any aesthetic impacts, which may include, without limitation, additional landscape or hardscape features. Barbed wire, razor ribbon, electrified fences or any similar security measures are prohibited. Alarm systems shall not include any visible alarms or audible sirens or other sounds.

i. Fire Safety. All wireless facilities shall be designed by qualified, licensed persons to provide the maximum protection that is technically feasible to prevent electrical and fire hazards. All wireless facilities shall be proactively monitored and maintained to continue and if possible, improve the safety design.
j. Compliance with Laws. All wireless facilities must be designed and sited in compliance with all applicable federal, state, regional, and local laws, regulations, rules, restrictions and conditions, which includes without limitation the California Building Standards Code, Americans with Disabilities Act, general plan and any applicable specific plan, this code and any conditions or restrictions in any permit or other governmental approval issued by any public agency with jurisdiction over the project.
k. View Protection. Wireless facilities shall be located and designed to preserve significant coastal views from the public right-of-way in conformance with Section 30251 of the California Coastal Act. The protection of public views should not prevent reasonable development of the site, yet development shall not preclude reasonable protection of any significant coastal view. Designs should respect views enjoyed by neighboring parcels and should not present excess visual mass or bulk to public view or to adjoining properties. Wireless communications facilities, to every extent possible, should be sited to not create visual clutter or negatively affect important public or private views as determined by the reviewing authority.

Collocation is encouraged when it will decrease visual impact. This objective is intended to balance the private rights to views from all parcels that will be affected by a proposed wireless facility. No single parcel should enjoy a greater right than other parcels except the natural advantages of each site’s topography. Wireless facilities which substantially eliminate an existing significant view enjoyed on another parcel should be avoided.

2. Administrative Detailed Wireless Facility Design Guidelines. The Planning Commission may develop, and from time to time amend, Administrative Detailed Wireless Facility Design Guidelines consistent with the generally applicable design standards contained in this ordinance to clarify the aesthetic and public safety goals and standards in this chapter for City staff, applicants and the public. The Administrative Detailed Wireless Facility Design Guidelines shall provide more detailed standards to implement the general principals articulated in this section and may include specific standards for particular wireless facilities or site locations, but shall not unreasonably discriminate between functionally equivalent service providers.

If a conflict arises between the development standards specified in this chapter and the Administrative Detailed Wireless Facility Design Guidelines, the development standards specified in this chapter shall control.
