If the Council decides to adopt one or both of the Urgency Ordinances (Urgency Ordinance No. 1 or No. 2), then the recommended action for each Urgency Ordinance is:

1. Identify the Urgency Ordinance by number (Ordinance No. 1 or No. 2)

2. Request the City Attorney to read the title of the Urgency Ordinance

3. Motion to waive further reading and adopt the Urgency Ordinance If the Council decides to take action on the Regular Ordinances (Ordinance No. 3 or No. 4), then the recommended action for each Regular Ordinance is:

1. Identify the Regular Ordinance by number (Ordinance No. 3 or No. 4)

2. Request the City Attorney to read the title of the Ordinance

3. Motion to waive further reading and introduce on first reading the Ordinance BACKGROUND / SUMMARY:

Discussion
On March 13, 2025, the Forest and Beach Commission recommended that the City Council approve a proposed Policy 2025-003 to regulate usage of the tennis and pickleball courts in Forest Hill Park (“Park”). A true copy of proposed Policy 2025-003 is Attachment 5.

On September 3, 2025, there was a special meeting of the City Council to discuss the proposed Policy and to provide guidance for City staff to bring an ordinance to the Council which would reference athletic usage at the Forest Hill Park courts (“Courts”).

The Staff Report for the September 3, 2025 City Council meeting is Attachment 6 with link to the City’s website.

At the meeting on September 3, 2025, the Council received a Staff Report and a presentation by City staff regarding the pickleball issues at the Park, received written and verbal public comments, and deliberated on how to proceed in regard to the pickleball issues, including, but not limited to, how to address the complaints by neighbors of the noise associated with pickleball upon impact by the pickleball with a pickleball paddle.

The Council directed staff at the meeting on September 3, 2025, to return to the City Council with proposed Ordinances regarding usage of tennis and pickleball courts at the Park.

Ordinances

Page 6 of 266 ends

There are four proposed Ordinances attached to this Staff Report as listed in the Recommendation section of this Staff Report.

Urgency Ordinances require an affirmative vote of at least four members of the City Council to adopt and take effect immediately upon adoption.

Regular Ordinances require an affirmative vote of at least three members of the City Council and require a first reading for introduction and then, at a subsequent regular meeting of the City Council, a second reading for adoption and take effect 30 days after the second reading. Regular ordinances are sometimes combined with an Urgency ordinance on the same subject to ensure that the provisions are enforceable under both ordinances.

Options
The Council may select one or more of proposed Ordinances regarding usage of tennis and pickleball courts in Forest Hill Park. Alternatively, the Council could decide not to adopt any of the proposed Ordinances and/or take other action related to this Agenda item, including direction to staff.

If the Council selects Ordinance No. 1 (Urgency Ordinance Prohibiting Pickleball At Forest Hill Park Pending Study By The City Of Sound Attenuation Options), and Ordinance No. 4 (Regular Ordinance Of The City Council Of The City Of Carmel-ByThe-Sea Prohibiting Pickleball At Forest Hill Park Pending Study By The City Of Sound Attenuation Options), then the Council may, or may not, wish to consider Ordinances No 2 and No. 3 since the rules for pickleball that may be included in those Ordinances might depend upon the results of the study of sound attenuation options.

Ordinance No. 2 is an Urgency Ordinance that would adopt the rules included in Policy 25-003, which was recommended by the Forest and Beach Commission.

Ordinance No 3 is a Regular Ordinance that would adopt the rules included in Policy 25-003 to be codified in Chapter 12.50 of the City Municipal Code. If the Council adopts Ordinance No. 2, then the Council may also wish to consider introducing Ordinance No.

3. Ordinance No. 4 is a Regular Ordinance prohibiting pickleball at Forest Hill Park pending study by the City of sound attenuation options. If the Council adopts Ordinance No. 1, then the Council may also wish to consider introducing Ordinance No. 4.

California Environmental Quality Act
All four Ordinances are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under the California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3 (“CEQA Guidelines”).

Specifically, they fall under the exemptions found in CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), which is the common sense exemption that applies when it can been seen

Page 7 of 266 ends

with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, and/or Section 15301, which is the Class 2 Existing Facilities Categorical Exemption that applies when the activity in question consists of the minor alteration of existing public facilities involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use. The common sense exemption applies here because whether pickleball play is temporarily prohibited under Ordinance Nos. 1 or 4 or regulated through the adoption of the proposed rules under Ordinance Nos. 2 or 3, pickleball use at Forrest Hill Park will either be limited/reduced (under the rules) or stopped altogether (under the prohibition) so either way it can be seen with certainty that there will be fewer pickleball players and thus pickleball- related noise and traffic/parking issues will be reduced compared to existing conditions. Similarly, the Class 2 Existing Facilities Categorical Exemption also applies because whether pickleball play is prohibited while sound attenuation studies are conducted or reduced under the rules’ limited days/hours, the facilities themselves will either stay as they currently are or be altered slightly in ways that it can also be seen with certainty will involve negligible or no expansion of existing or former use.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No direct fiscal impact for this action.

POLICY REGULATING USAGE OF THE TENNIS AND PICKLEBALL COURTS IN

FOREST HILL PARK
Statement of Purpose:

The purpose of this policy is to establish a balanced approach to the use of the Forest Hill Park courts for both pickleball and tennis while addressing neighboring concerns related to noise, scheduling, and enforcement. This policy ensures that both sports remain accessible to the community while minimizing impacts on surrounding residential areas.

Policy:

To achieve this balance, the City of Carmel-by-the-Sea shall implement the following measures at the Forest Hill Park courts:

Court Designation:

The courts shall be permanently divided into designated areas for tennis-only and pickleball-only use. The City shall install two permanent pickleball courts with fixed nets on one side of the courts, effectively removing one tennis court. The other side of the courts shall be reserved for tennis-only use, with the removal of pickleball striping, effectively eliminating two pickleball courts.

Scheduled Play Hours:

Pickleball play shall be permitted only on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Tennis play shall be permitted daily from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

Noise and Compliance Measures:

If necessary, automatic locks shall be installed on both court entrances to regulate access and enforce scheduled playtimes. A fence partition may be installed roughly near the midpoint of the courts, ensuring the tennis area is slightly larger to accommodate the larger court dimensions. The purpose of this partition is to provide a clear separation between the pickleball and tennis areas and to facilitate compliance with the designated play areas.

City Resources and Maintenance:

The City shall be responsible for the purchase, installation, and maintenance of pickleball nets, fencing, and any necessary locking mechanisms. The Public Works Department shall oversee the implementation of these measures and ensure ongoing compliance with the policy.

This policy is intended to promote fair access to recreational opportunities while reducing noise concerns, promoting compliance with City noise standards, and maintaining the village character of Carmel-by-the-Sea.

City Council
Staff Report
October 7, 2025

ORDERS OF BUSINESS
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY: Emily Garay, Administrative Analyst, Brian Pierik, City Attorney APPROVED BY: Chip Rerig, City Administrator
SUBJECT: Consideration by the City Council of Resolution 2025-087, directing staff to return to Council with a comprehensive Street Address Program that includes a process to begin implementation of an address identification system and an Ordinance repealing relevant City Municipal Code sections, for Council's discussion and guidance. (Estimated time - 60 min)
RECOMMENDATION:

Motion to adopt Resolution No. 2025-087 (Attachment 1) to begin implementation of an address identification in the City through a comprehensive Street Address Program.

When a Street Address Program is approved by Council and implemented, staff will return to Council with an ordinance to repeal City Municipal Code Section 15.55.100 subsection (16) so that the City will be governed by the provisions of the California Building Code.

BACKGROUND / SUMMARY:

Background
On April 1, 2025, City Council received a staff presentation from Administrative Analyst Emily Garay on the exploration of street addresses, a legal analysis by City Attorney Brian Pierik regarding street identification and estimated costs and timelines for elections to include a ballot measure regarding street addresses in the City (Attachment 2). Council expressed the need for more information, confirmation, and more public outreach; the Council agreed to the formation of a citizen advisory group comprising Mayor Pro Tem Delves, City staff, and residents of the community.

Page 26 of 266 ends

The citizen advisory group, The Address Group (TAG), formed and met weekly with a mission to develop a comprehensive understanding of the process required to implement standardized addresses. TAG’s goal included researching questions raised by Council at the April 1, 2025, meeting (Attachment 2):
• What address scheme would be appropriate for Carmel-by-the-Sea? • What are the different numbering options? Pros and cons of each? • What would the cost and process of assigning addresses and notifying utilities be?
• What role does the County have in this process?
At the May 5, 2025, City Council meeting, Council voted not to hold a 2025 Special Election and received an update on TAG’s progress and its goal to make the implementation process easy to understand and inclusive of all perspectives (Attachment 3).

During the August 5, 2025, City Council Meeting, Mayor Pro Tem Delves provided an update on TAG’s information gathering mission and announced that TAG planned to host two community workshops to share their findings with the community (Attachment 4). TAG hosted the first community workshop on August 27, 2025, and the second on September 4, 2025.

The Address Group’s presentation at the Community Workshop included:
• Confirmation with USPS that standardized addresses will not compel at-home mail delivery
• USPS is the “authority for addressing in the United States” • USPS is the authority for address verification
• Further input from Carmel Police Department and Monterey Fire Department and their opinion that standardized addresses would improve findability and response times
• Explanation of the City Attorney’s legal analysis regarding the City’s noncompliance with State laws
• A variation of street address systems explored by TAG and a “prototype” that could work for the City
• Insights into proactive discussions with utility service providers and Monterey County personnel about the process of implementing a street address system Based on past staff research and The Address Workgroup’s findings, staff seeks direction from Council on whether to move forward on developing a comprehensive Street Address Program for Council’s consideration and approval at a future City Council meeting and if staff should prepare to return to Council with an ordinance to repeal City Municipal Code Section 15.55.100 subsection (16) so that the City will be

Page 27 of 266 ends

governed by the provisions of the California Building Code.

In order for the City to comply with the California Building Code requirements for address identification, the City should adopt an ordinance to repeal Section 15.55.100 of the City Municipal Code and the City would then be required to comply with the address identification requirements of the California Building Code.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact for this agenda item. The fiscal impact for the Street Address Program will be included when that Program is presented to the Council.

PRIOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION:

October 4, 2022 - Council gave direction to staff to continue to do research on the topic and confirm if implementing a street address system will require mail delivery service.

November 7, 2023 - Council received a presentation on staff's research and the Ad Hoc Committee for street address exploration was formed.

July 9, 2024 - Council directed staff to return with an implementation plan and community engagement plan no later than September 2024.

August 6, 2024 - following City Attorney announcements, City Council directed staff to return in September with a discussion on whether street addresses should be put to the voters to decide on, and provide an analysis on the process to do so, in addition to the direction to staff that was given during the July 9th meeting.

September 10, 2024 - City Attorney presented a legal analysis for street address identification, discussing State and City codes, a draft Ordinance, public vote and City options.

April 1, 2025 - Council received a presentation on continued street address exploration by staff and a legal analysis by the City Attorney about estimated costs and timelines to include a ballot measure in a Special Elections or regular Election; a citizen advisory group was formed.

CITY COUNCIL
RESOLUTION NO. 2025-087

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA TO BEGIN

IMPLEMENTATION OF ADDRESS IDENTIFICATION IN THE CITY THROUGH A

COMPREHENSIVE STREET ADDRESS PROGRAM
WHEREAS, Title 24 of the California Building Standards Code contains the Building Code (Part 2), the Residential Code (Part 2.5), and the Fire Code (Part 9), which all include the following requirements for address identification for new and existing buildings, which are numbered here for reference (hereafter “Address Identification”):
(1) The address identification shall be legible and placed in a position that is visible from the street or road fronting the property.
(2) Address identification characters shall contrast with their background. (3) Address numbers shall be Arabic numbers or alphabetical letters. (4) Numbers shall not be spelled out. Each character shall be not less than 4 inches (102 mm) high with a minimum stroke width of 1/2 inch (12.7 mm). (5) Where required by the fire code official, address identification shall be provided in additional approved locations to facilitate emergency response. (6) Where access is by means of a private road and the building cannot be viewed from the public way, a monument, pole or other sign or means shall be used to identify the structure.
(7) Address identification shall be maintained.

WHEREAS, the 2018 Version and Commentary on the International Building Code states in regard to the history of the Address Identification requirement that the ability of fire, police and other emergency response personnel to identify both new and existing buildings is greatly aided by the proper placement of Address Identification; and
WHEREAS, the Carmel-by-the-Sea Police Department supports the implementation of Address Identification in the City to improve public safety and response time on calls for service; and
WHEREAS, the City of Monterey Fire Department, which provides fire, and will soon also provide ambulance service to the City, supports the implementation of Address Identification in the City to improve public safety and response time on calls for service; and WHEREAS, Health & Safety Code Section 17958.5 provides that a city may make changes or modifications to the California Building Standards Code (Part 2.5) and other ATTACHMENT 1

Page 29 of 266 ends

Resolution 2025-087

Page 2 of 3 ends

regulations which are "reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions"; and
WHEREAS, California Health and Safety Code Section 18941.5 provides that a city has the authority to establish more restrictive building standards, including, but not limited to, green building standards, reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions; and
WHEREAS, the City does not have address identification on the buildings in the City and instead has the following provision in the City Municipal Code Section 15.55.100 subsection (16) which provides (hereafter “City Code”):
505.1 Address identification. Buildings and parcels shall be identified by a description of Parcel location relative to the nearest cross-street intersection as determined by the Community Planning and Building Department. For multi-tenant buildings, unit identifiers shall be provided as follows:

1. Multi-family dwelling units (apartments, condominiums) - shall be designated using alphabetic characters (i.e. A, B, C.). When the building contains multiple floors, the floor number shall precede the alphabetic unit designator (i.e. 1-A, 2-B, etc.)

2. Non-residential, multi-tenant buildings - individual tenant spaces shall be assigned numeric identification (i.e. 1, 2, 3, etc.) When the building contains multiple floors, the floor number shall precede the numeric unit designator and shall be separated by the number "0" (i.e. first floor units: 10x; second floor units: 20x).

3. Mixed-use buildings - Residential units shall be designated as described in 1 above.

Nonresidential units shall be designated as described in 2."; and WHEREAS, the City Code is not more restrictive than the California Building Code address identification requirements and the City Code is not reasonably necessary because of local climatic, geological, or topographical conditions; and WHEREAS, the United States Postal Service (USPS) is the authority on street address systems and is responsible for incorporating street address systems into its national Address Management System (AMS) that is used for government verification purposes; and WHEREAS, the United States Postal Service’s Address Management System utilizes addressing conventions that fulfill the requirements of the California Building as set forth in this Resolution; and
WHEREAS, the City’s current method for premise identification, stated in the City Municipal Section 15.55.100, is not compatible with the Address Management System and is not compliance with the California Building Code requirements for address identification; and WHEREAS, in order for the City to comply with the California Building Code requirements for address identification, the City should adopt an ordinance to repeal Section 15.55.100 of the City Municipal Code which would then mean that the City would be required to comply with the address identification requirements of the California Building Code as set forth in this Resolution.

Mayor Pro Tern Delves reported that the City and the Carmel Public Library Foundation (CPLF) successfully negotiated a fair contract with the City. He noted that the revised agreement establishes a two-person Council ad hoc committee in place of the five-member executive committee, and that it includes contractor payment and indemnification of the CPLF.

Councilmember Dramov proposed adding a plaque to the Harrison Memorial Library (HML) to acknowledge MJ Murphy as the building's designer. She noted that Exhibit A of the draft agreement contains inaccurate information about the designer and requested that it be removed and replaced. City Attorney Pierik said the CPLF would need to agree to an amendment to the agreement to change Exhibit A. Mayor Byrne suggested that the plaque approval be considered separately from the approval of the agreement with the CPLF. Councilmember Baron expressed support for Councilmember Dramov's proposal and concern about the inaccurate information in the contract.

The Council expressed gratitude to the City Attorney for his effective negotiations with the CPLF Board members and attorney, resulting in a contract that addresses all concerns. The Council's appreciation was also extended to current and future donors to the project, as well as all staff involved in moving this contract forward.

Motion by Councilmember Buder to adopt Resolution 2025-033 approving the agreement with Carmel Public Library Foundation Regarding Harrison Memorial Library Centennial Restoration Project, and authorize the Mayor to execute the agreement, seconded by Mayor Pro Tern Delves, and approved 5-0-0-0 by the following roll call vote:

Council discussion resumed. Mayor Pro Tern Delves proposed several questions for Council consideration:
• Election timing? (2025 or 2026)
• Formation of a citizen advisory group (such as the AHA group for housing alternatives), for street address alternatives that are AMS compatible? • What address scheme would be appropriate for Carmel?
• What are the different numbering options? Pros and cons of each? • What would the cost and process of assigning addresses and notifying utilities be? • What role does the County play in this process?
• Would it be possible for residents to "opt-in" to addresses? • Do we need a city code to prevent future encroachments for the installation of mailboxes? Councilmember Dramov said that if we did go to a vote, it makes more sense to do it in November 2026 during a regularly scheduled election for cost reasons. Councilmember Baron disagreed with waiting and advocated for making a decision and moving forward with street address implementation, emphasizing the Council's responsibility to act in the public's interest. He noted strong resident support for addresses based on his campaign and several meetings of public input. He argued that after three years of discussion, further delay is unnecessary.

Councilmember Buder also noted strong resident support for street addresses due to public safety, findability, and insurance concerns.

Mayor Byrne expressed support for creating a citizen advisory group with diverse views and research experience on street addresses, similar to the AHA group. He suggested that the group should aim to develop a "Carmel-style" AMS-compatible address plan by the end of the year.

The Council agreed to revisit the discussion in May to decide whether or not to hold a special election in 2025 regarding street addresses. Mayor Pro Tern Delves stated he would meet with City Staff, City Administrator, and few select residents in the meantime to conduct further research on the proposed questions and provide an update to the Council by July.

RECESS
Council took a recess at 7:56 pm and returned to the dais at 8: 16 pm.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
Item 4 - Consideration of an Appeal (APP 25034 (Faia) of the Planning Commission's decision to Approve a Track 1 Design Study referral (OS 24203, 24216, 24217 (F aia)) with conditions for the replacement of the wood shake roof of a two-story single-family residence located on the Northeast corner of Torres and 2nd Avenue in the Single-Family Residential (R-1) District. APN:
010-101-021, 010-101-020, & 010- 101-012. CEQAAction: Find denying the Appeal and upholding the Planning Commission's approval of a Track 1 Design Study categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 and no exceptions listed under Section 15300.2 can be made in this case.

City Planner Jacob Olander presented Ms. Faia's appeal (APP 25034), challenging the Planning Commission's denial of her request for a metal roof. He summarized that Ms. Faia's appeal seeks Council approval to overturn the decision and allow her to install a metal roof. Mr. Olander then answered Council questions regarding the appeal.

Council discussion resumed. Mayor Pro Tern Delves noted that the Planning Commission lacks clear guidelines on approving metal roofs, and that fire concerns and insurance coverage issues have increased over the last few months. Council gave consensus support for the appeal after considering the appellant's arguments supporting approval for her metal roof. Councilmember Buder reiterated that adopting a clear policy on metal roofs or roof materials is necessary to prevent future appeals.

Motion by Mayor Pro Tem Delves to approve the appeal by Faia, overturning the Planning Commission's decision, and allowing the applicant to get her metal roof, seconded by Councilmember Buder.

Mayor Byrne made a friendly amendment to the Motion on the floor, to include the addition of a refund to Faia for the appeal fee. Motion amendment was accepted by Mayor Pro Tem Delves.

Item 5 - Consideration of an Appeal (APP 25038, Brown) by Dorothy Jernstedt, for the Approval of a Combined Concept and Final Design Study (DS 24164, Brown), and associated Coastal Development Permit for substantial alterations to an existing single-family residence, and Variance (VA 24263, Brown) for modifications to maximum site coverage regulations located at Scenic Road 3 southeast of 12th Avenue located in the Single Family Residential (R-1) Zoning District, Beach and Riparian (BR) Overlay, and Park (P) Overlay (APN: 010-292-011 ).

Mayor Byrne recused himself from this item due to the proximity of his home to the project and left the dais at 9:03 p.m.

City Planner Evan Kort presented the appeal, summarizing the project, the Planning Commission's approval and rationale, and the appellant's arguments, along with an analysis of their validity.

Public comment:

Steve Brown, property owner
Councilmember Dramov left the dais and the meeting at 9:35 p.m.

Councilmembers Baron and Buder found the appellant's view and privacy concerns to be unsubstantiated, and their primary concern was the variance request for the deck due to its disproportionate scale and inconsistent materials.

ATTACHMENT 2

Councilmember Buder proposed remanding the variance decision back to the Planning Commission for further design review. Assistant City Administrator Swanson said that this action would only result in a design study on the merits of the design and wouldn't address the variance concerns. Councilmember Baron preferred a compromise that would satisfy the appellant and the project applicant by partially granting the appeal.

Motion by Councilmember Baron to partially grant the appeal, by approving the variance just to accommodate a deck that is 4 ft less wide from the house, as well as a special condition that the variance doesn't run with the land but runs with the house, seconded by Mayor Pro Tern Delves, and approved 2-1-1-1

Staff recommends City Council action and direction on (1) whether to proceed in preparation for a ballot measure and election, and (2) which, if any, election year.

Mayor Pro Tern Delves reported that the Street Address Working Group is developing a comprehensive "book" on street addresses, which will include chapters on the history of Carmel's addressing, community input, address standards, a prototype system, emergency response impacts, and an implementation plan for AMS-compatible addresses. He said the goal is to make the implementation process easy to understand and inclusive of all perspectives.

Councilmember Buder expressed concern about the street address workgroup duplicating past efforts, noting that the city already has years of staff research and presentations on the subject.

He urged focusing on implementation, preserving Carmel's character, and issuing an RFP to ATTACHMENT 3

explore addressing systems. Council member Dramov thanked the workgroup for their efforts and proposed sending a postcard survey to all registered voters to gauge public opinion as a lowercost alternative to a special election. She said this may provide some closure to people to see how many residents actually want addresses. Councilmember Baron reiterated his opposition to the workgroup but supported Councilmember Dramov's survey idea. He called for Councilmembers to publicly state their positions, set a clear goal, such as having GPS-findable addresses by a certain date, and outline steps to achieve it.

Mayor Byrne stated that if the City Attorney, Police Chief, and Fire Chief all agree that street addresses are needed for the village to be safe, then we should listen to that advice and do something about it. Mayor Pro Tern Delves agreed the book content is largely complete and the Working Group should now move to researching implementation. He recommended including a legal analysis chapter. He concluded that there appears to be consensus from Council to move forward with the book and to get it out to the public for more feedback.

City Administrator Rerig requested clear direction from the Council on whether to proceed with a 2025 special election on street addresses, per previous Council direction.

Mayor Pro Tem Delves made a motion to not have a special election in 2025 on street addresses, and the motion was seconded by Mayor Byrne.

Councilmember Baron said he is against this motion, stating that it sets things back by undoing the direction of the previous Council and making the process start over. He also expressed concern that the current Council doesn't have a clear goal or plan in place which is why he can't support it.

Motion by Mayor Pro Tern Delves to not have a special election in 2025 on street addresses, seconded by Mayor Byrne, and approved 4-1-0-0 by the following vote:

She said options include: 1) keeping it in unallocated reserves for future use, with 10% of it (1.4 acre-feet) specifically for affordable housing for very low and low-income ATTACHMENT 3

Public Comment:

Maria Ruess
Linda Smith
Donna Jett
Council discussion resumed. Council agreed on the importance of allocating some of the reserves to affordable housing to incentivize these types of projects, but were hesitant to make lasting preemptive decisions before they hear about the housing element update later this month.

Council consensus directed staff to return with a Resolution for the council to adopt that will allocate 3 acre-feet of the 14 acre-feet reserve water to very low and low-income housing, and further direction on the remaining 11 acre-feet water reserve at a future meeting date after the Council receives an update on the housing element amendment.

Item 11 - Receive a presentation and provide direction on the 2025 Fire Hazard Severity Zone (FHSZ) map, Wildland-Urban Interface areas, and associated Carmel-by-the-Sea Municipal Code modifications
Community Planning and Building Director Anna Ginette presented the 2025 FHSZ map update from the California State Fire Marshal, released March 10. She stated that the updated map revises local fire risk designations, affecting building codes and defensible space requirements.

She summarized that the new map increases the "Very High" fire risk area to 278 acres and introduces "High" and "Moderate" risk zones. Ms. Ginette said that by law, the City must adopt the updated map, or a stricter version of this map, by Ordinance by July 8. She recommended adopting the map, expanding the Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) to cover the entire city as a Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI), and applying Public Resources Code Section 4291 for improved defensible space enforcement. Ms. Ginette and Deputy Fire Chief Cooper answered questions from the Council.

Councilmembers expressed concern about the impact of the updated fire hazard map on Carmel's character and the rushed timeline for adoption. Councilmember Baron proposed small fire risk reduction measures, like limiting wood roofs, allowing gravel ground coverage, and using drones for risk assessment. He also questioned broader policy implications. Councilmember Buder advocated for a proactive response, suggesting updates to the municipal code and the formation of a working group to take on this task, including representatives from the Planning Commission, Forest and Beach Commission, city staff, and legal counsel.

Councilmember Dramov opposed state pressure and strongly objected to the Fire Department accessing private property without owner consent. Mayor Byrne echoed concerns about preserving Carmel's character and noted that while tree removal isn't required, new plantings must meet updated fire zone regulations. He acknowledged the City's limited options, and recommended adopting staff's Option #1 to comply with the State and asked staff to propose short-term code amendments.

Motion by Mayor Byrne to return in June with an Ordinance with the associated municipal code amendments to adopt the 2025 Fire Hazard Severity Zone (FHSZ) map as updated by the State, seconded by Mayor Pro Tern Delves, and approved 5-0-0-0 by the following roll call vote:

Public Works Director Ken Wysocki explained that after initial consideration of Trujillo Landscaping, it was determined that new engineering designs need to be completed to make sure the project is build to last and is structurally sound.

Councilmember Buder requested that the item be pulled from consent for further discussion and proposed alternative edits. He proposed that "Agenda Preparation" and "Agenda Finalization" sections specify that the Mayor and Mayor Pro Tern meet to finalize the draft agenda, and that the final agenda be approved by the Mayor or Mayor's designee.

City Attorney Brian noted his draft policy avoids creating a standing committee obligation by stating: "The City Administrator will request input from the Mayor and Mayor Pro Tern in preparing the agenda." He recommended substituting "confer" for "meet." Councilmember Dramov supported Buder's proposal, which gives more authority to the Mayor in finalizing agendas.

Issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Architectural Services for Police and Public Works Facilities.

Public Works Director Wysocki presented the item, noting prior Council direction to reduce the building size and issue a new RFP for architectural plans. He outlined that the RFP would request:
• Conceptual plans and cost estimates for a reduced-size rebuild • Confirmation of floor area assumptions
• Design examples demonstrating understanding of the City's design ethos • Swing space planning and logistics
• Code compliance
• Demonstrated experience with police station design
City Administrator Rerig said staff can return with a draft RFP at the next meeting.

Public Comment: none.

Councilmember Dramov said the RFP language should allow architects with experience in either police stations or civic buildings, not require both. Mayor Pro Tern Delves emphasized urgency in moving the RFP and project forward, and supported considering non-local architects who respect local character; suggested including two Councilmembers on the selection committee.

Councilmember Buder proposed an analysis of whether the firing range could generate revenue to offset costs. He said he also favored a local architect as lead with a police station specialist as consultant. Councilmember Baron agreed with Buder and Dramov on a local architect lead, with support and review from an architect with civic or police building experience. He also supported community engagement, defined checkpoints for police facility review, and civic design compatibility, and opposed relying on firing range revenue but supported an analysis.

Mayor Byrne voiced his support for a civic architect paired with a police facility specialist.

City Administrator Rerig recommended retaining the current ad hoc committee and returning with a draft RFP for Council to review. Acting Police Chief Trayer reported on recent safety improvements at the existing facility and thanked Council for prioritizing immediate upgrades.

Jack Norman presented his research and possible solutions to relieve downtown parking congestion by addressing employee parking. He summarized the following:

Key Findings & Ideas:
• Employee Parking Impact: 200-500 downtown spaces occupied daily by employees. • Residential Parking: Employees use residential areas (400-500 weekday spaces available between 7th-Santa Lucia and JuniperO-San Carlos). • Off-Site Parking Options:
o Sunset Center North Lot: Potential for employee-only parking; no shuttle needed.

ATTACHMENT 4

Page 52 of 266 ends

City Council Regular Meeting Minutes - August 5, 2025

Page 7 ends

o Rio Road Lot: Requires shuttle service.
• Parking Lot Optimization: Attendants to maximize space, provide security, and support shuttles.
• Encouraging Participation ("Carrot vs. Stick"): Incentives over penalties; partner with Carmel Chamber of Commerce. MST/Enterprise could provide 7-12 passenger shuttles with mobile app tracking.
• Employee Shuttle Incentives: Raffles, business recognition, subsidies ("Carmel Bucks").

Next Steps:
• Business/community outreach, budget review, off-site lot exploration, operational planning.
• City Council approval required for any new parking program.

Chamber of Commerce Input (from Kati Enea):
• Survey shows employee parking is a major productivity issue. • Businesses want reliable, comfortable shuttles (seasonal use may be appropriate). • Broad support for residential parking permits for employees.

Councilmember Dramov supported employee-only parking at Sunset North Lot but opposed residential parking. She inquired about shuttle/attendant funding. Mayor Pro Tern Delves opposed using Rio Park as a parking lot, advocating for it as open space, and found residential parking fair due to public street access. He suggested paid parking in the commercial core to deter employee use and supported a Mission lot shuttle.

Councilmember Baron opposed exclusive employee use of Sunset Center North Lot, favoring reduced car use via improved bus schedules and tourist alternatives. He supported paid parking to manage traffic flow and fund shuttles. Mayor Byrne noted residential areas were becoming de facto employee parking and supported exploring paid parking and addressing encroachments.

He said there was a lack of support for valet parking at Sunset Center.

Council consensus direction was to remove Rio Park as a potential parking solution, and gave general support for employee parking in residential areas rather than in the commercial core.

Council agreed that paid parking and shuttle options should remain under consideration.

FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS
Councilmember Dramov requested a future agenda item on in-lieu parking and fees, receiving majority support.

Councilmember Buder proposed discussing municode updates, specifically Chapter 17 conflicts and parking lift omissions. Councilmember Baron suggested delaying Chapter 17 amendments until design guidelines are adopted, stating staff is working on them and code amendments shouldn't be "reactive." Mayor Pro Tern Delves noted that Title 17 amendments would require Planning Commission review. Councilmember Dramov agreed on the need for logical discussion order.

City Administrator Rerig announced that a Special City Council Meeting on pickleball will be scheduled for early September.

ORDERS OF BUSINESS
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY: Marnie Waffle, Principal Planner, AICP
APPROVED BY: Chip Rerig, City Administrator
SUBJECT: Resolution 2025-088 Adopting an Amended Water Allocation Policy for the City of Carmel-by-the-Sea (CMC 17.50.030) (Estimated time - 45 min)
RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Resolution 2025-088 Adopting an Amended Water Allocation Policy for the City of Carmel-by-the-Sea (CMC 17.50.030).

BACKGROUND / SUMMARY:

Executive Summary:

On January 27, 2025, the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District (MPWMD) adopted Ordinance No. 197 allocating 14-acre feet of water to the City of Carmel-bythe-Sea effective March 1, 2025. According to the City’s water management program (Carmel-by-the-Sea Municipal Code Chapter 17.50), this allocation has been placed in unallocated reserves until the City Council adopts a resolution allocating the water to a specific category (e.g., residential, commercial, municipal, etc.). On September 10, 2025, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution 2025-042-PC, making a recommendation to the City Council on how the unallocated reserves should be allocated under a new water allocation resolution (Attachment 1).

Background:

The city’s water management program was adopted in 1987 by Ordinance 87-14 (Attachment 3) and amended in 1993 by Ordinance 93-11 (Attachment 4). The program is codified in Carmel-by-the-Sea Municipal Code (CMC) Chapter 17.50 (Attachment 5). It establishes the process for distributing the city’s water resources by determining which land use categories will be served through water allocations made

Page 55 of 266 ends

available to the town.

According to the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District (MPWMD), the water allocation process in 1987 was significantly different from what it is today: In 1987, the City was given a limit (allocation) to stay within for the year and had to plan where to allow additional uses to occur. During the water year 1985-86, the city exceeded its allocation, and a moratorium on the issuance of permits occurred. The City took action against the District, and a settlement agreement resulted in the District completing a water allocation Environmental Impact Report and the adoption of a new methodology to allocate and track only new supplies of water rather than establishing an annual water use limit.

When new water resources become available, the Planning Commission considers the distribution of water in a manner that implements the General Plan and Local Coastal Program and makes a recommendation to the City Council. The City Council considers the Planning Commission’s recommendation before adopting a Resolution. These Resolutions document:
1) the quantity of water available,
2) the land use categories that will receive water,
3) the amount of water allocated to each category, and
4) the amount that will remain in an unallocated reserve.

The water management program (CMC Chapter 17.50) requires that at least 10 percent of available water resources be reserved for projects that will create new affordable housing units and that water is reserved for anticipated projects serving coastal recreation, access, and essential public services. Both requirements implement policies in the Carmel General Plan and Local Coastal Program, which is discussed in further detail below in the Analysis section.
2025 Allocation of Water Resources
On January 27, 2025, the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District (MPWMD) adopted Ordinance No. 197 (Attachment 6), allocating 14 acre-feet of water to the City of Carmel-by-the-Sea in anticipation of the completion of the Pure Water Monterey Expansion project at the end of 2025. The Ordinance took effect on March 1, 2025, and the City of Carmel-by-the-Sea received 14 acre-feet of water from the first allocation.

MPWMD has reiterated that additional supplies of water will be available when needed from the 2,000 acre-feet of water in the District’s Reserve.

The MPWMD publishes a Monthly Allocation Report for each jurisdiction within its service area. For March 2025 (Attachment 7), the City of Carmel-by-the-Sea was reported to have 2.661 acre-feet of water remaining from its last allocation in 1993.

When combined with the recently allocated 14 acre-feet, the city has a total balance of

16.661 acre-feet of water.

While the MPWMD is responsible for allocating water to municipalities, it is up to the

Page 56 of 266 ends

individual municipalities to determine how that water is used. However, pursuant to Ordinance 197 passed by the MPWMD Board of Directors, the sale of water by a jurisdiction is not allowed. Rule 33, Subsection D - Cost of Allocation states explicitly, There shall be no sale of water from an Allocation by a Jurisdiction.

Additionally, California American Water Company (Cal-Am) is subject to a Cease and Desist Order (CDO) and water meter moratorium due to its unlawful pumping from the Carmel River. The MPWMD 2024 Annual Report states,
“Construction of the Pure Water Monterey Expansion project is expected to be completed in late 2025. The PWM Expansion will bring a long-term replacement water supply to meet the Peninsula’s needs for decades or act as a bridge until a desalination plant is fully permitted and built. In 2024, the District started taking the necessary steps to lift the State’s Cease and Desist Order (CDO) imposed on Cal-Am that would eliminate the moratorium on service connections for new housing.” The MPWMD is currently preparing an application to lift the CDO. Until the CDO is lifted, a property must have an existing service connection to use a water allocation or have water from the Malpaso water Company, which is not subject to the moratorium on new meters.

CMC Chapter 17.50, Water Management Program, Section 17.50.030.C - Unallocated Reserves, states that if new water resources become available to the City through action by the MPWMD, they shall be placed in unallocated reserves administratively until distributed to other categories through the adoption of a new allocation resolution.

The most recent allocation resolution that city staff could locate was City Council Resolution 2013-43, adopted on August 6, 2013 (Attachment 8). At that time, the following categories, along with their respective water allocations, were identified as follows:

Table 1. 2013 Water Allocation Balances per Resolution 2013-43 Category #1 Low & Very Low-Income Housing 0.507 af
Category #2 Single Family Residential 0.000 af
Category #3 Multi-Family Residential 0.000 af
Category #4 Commercial 0.684 af
Category #5 Municipal 0.224 af
Category #6 Unallocated Reserve 1.690 af
Category #7 Mallery/Pescadero Water Transfer Reserve 0.106 af Category #8 Not Defined 0.000 af
Category #9 Forest Cottages Pre-Commitment 0.109 af
Total Water Allocation 3.320 af
Following the adoption of City Council Resolution 2013-43, 0.684-acre feet in Category #4 “Commercial” was released to the Carmel Event Center, now the 7th & Dolores

Page 57 of 266 ends

Steakhouse, leaving a zero balance in the commercial category. In addition, 0.109-acre feet in Category #9 “Forest Cottages Pre-Commitment" was transferred back to Category #1 “Low & Very Low-Income Housing” because it did not commence construction by February 13, 2014.

May 5, 2025, City Council Meeting
At the May 5, 2025, City Council meeting, staff sought direction from the City Council on how to proceed with the recent 14-acre-foot allocation of water that has been placed administratively in the “Unallocated Reserve” category. The City Council expressed support for transferring 3-acre-feet of water from “Unallocated Reserve” to “Low and Very Low-Income Housing.” This would satisfy the minimum 10 percent (1.4-acre feet) set aside required by the city’s Water Management Program (CMC Chapter 17.50), ensuring a moderate amount of water is immediately available for an affordable housing project should the city receive an application. Note: 3-acre feet of water could support approximately 44 one-bath apartments or 27 two-bath apartments, or some combination thereof.

September 10, 2025, Planning Commission Meeting
The Planning Commission reviewed a proposal to move 3 acre-feet of water from the “Unallocated Reserve” (Category #6) to “Low and Very Low-Income Housing” (Category #1). The Commission supports the allocation of 3 acre-feet to Category #1 and allocating the remaining 11 acre-feet of water for projects that support the General Plan and Local Coastal Program. The Planning Commission’s unanimous recommendation (with one Commissioner absent) is as follows (see also Attachment 9):
• 3 acre-feet to “Low and Very Low-Income Housing,”
• 6 acre-feet to a combined “Residential” category,
• 2 acre-feet to “Commercial,” and
• 3 acre-feet to “Municipal.”
The Planning Commission expressed support for continued retrofitting of fixtures to low water use. The Commission also recommends an annual review of activity in each category and making adjustments when needed. Finally, the Commission supports the cleanup item of eliminating Category #9, “Forest Cottages Pre-Commitment,” and adding the remaining water from that category (0.109 acre-feet) to the “Low and VeryLow Income Housing” category.

City Council Action
To formally transfer water from “Unallocated Reserve” to other land use categories, the City Council must adopt an allocation resolution detailing the quantity of water in each category. Staff also recommends incorporating other changes that have occurred since 2013, such as removing Category #9 and moving the balance to Category #1. The “Mallery/Pescadero Water Transfer Reserve” is a City commitment to a property in Pescadero Canyon that needs to remain, so no changes are proposed to this category.

Page 58 of 266 ends

The table below reflects the proposed changes (see also Attachment 2, Exhibit A).

Table 2. Proposed Water Allocation Balances
Category #1 Low & Very Low-Income Housing
This category includes residential housing units that meet the affordable housing standards for low-income and/or very lowincome households as defined by the municipal code.

Category #6 Mallery/Pescadero Water Transfer Reserve
This category includes the remaining balance from .960 acrefeet of water originally set aside through a transfer of development rights for four vacant lots in Pescadero Canyon owned in 1998 by Tim Mallery but dedicated as permanent open space. This water may be used for residential, multi-family residential, commercial or public use development as
determined by Mallery provided that the project complies with all zoning and provided that the project is located within the City limits.

ANALYSIS
Carmel’s adopted Local Coastal Program and General Plan include policies for managing water resources, and the CMC serves as the instrument through which these policies are implemented. Below is a brief discussion of the applicable water resource policies.

Page 59 of 266 ends

Land Use & Community Character Element (page 1-26)
The Land Use & Community Character Element of the General Plan/Coastal Land Use Plan contains a section on Water Resources, which says in part, The City's share of District water resources is internally allocated to land use categories based on policies in the Local Coastal Program and secondarily in the Conservation, Land Use, and Housing Elements of the General Plan. These policies affirm the City's commitment to lots of record, and residential use (new homes, apartments, and remodeling) as the largest allocation for new development. In particular, existing subdivided lots of record zoned for housing should always be considered "first in line" for limited water resources. New subdivisions of land should be limited until existing subdivided lots have a secure water supply to serve full build-out and additional water allocation units have been obtained from the District. As documented above, visitorserving uses throughout the City have been well accommodated with prior water allocations to achieve consistency with the Coastal Act. Augmenting scarce water supplies to serve planned growth continues to be a City policy. (LUP) Land Use & Community Character Element, Water Resources (page 1-50) The Land Use & Community Character Element of the General Plan/Coastal Land Use Plan contains the following goal, objectives, and policies:

Goal G1-6 Protect, conserve, and increase Carmel’s available water resources and water quality. (LUP)
Objective O1-19 Maintain and enhance a viable domestic water supply for the City through conservation techniques and direct involvement in regional water policies, including cooperation with Monterey Peninsula Water Management District (MPWMD) and the California-American Water Company. (LUP)
P1-116 Where existing public services, including water, can accommodate only a limited amount of new development, priority uses, including essential public services, public recreation, commercial recreation, and visitor-serving land uses, shall not be precluded by services to other development. (LUP)
P1-117 Institute conservation measures to preserve compliance with the City’s water allocation limits. Retrofit commercial and residential buildings with conservation devices. Consider adopting ordinances that will impose penalties for non-essential water use. (LUP)
Objective O1-20 Maintain an effective program to monitor water use in the City and to ensure the availability of water to fulfill the goals of the General Plan. (LUP) P1-123 Applications for new development shall demonstrate an adequate public water supply to support the proposed development. Private water supplies are prohibited to serve existing and new development…

Page 60 of 266 ends

P1-125 Prohibit new subdivisions requiring additional water resources until water supplies are available to, and reserved for, all existing subdivided parcels. (LUP) Housing Element
The City Council adopted the 6th cycle Housing Element in April 2024. The Housing Element is one element, or chapter, of the General Plan. It includes policies and programs that identify how the city will accommodate its regional share of housing needs (349 new housing units) by 2031.

Goal H1: Facilitate Housing Construction
Policy 1.1: Ensure adequate sites are available to meet the City’s projected housing growth needs
Program 1.2.A: Water Distribution Prioritization for Affordable Housing Work cooperatively with MPWMD to establish a procedure to prioritize water allocation for housing developments that include affordable units for lower-income households (December 2026). From its own modest water allocation of approximately 1.6-acre feet, the City will grant water allocation priority to those projects that assist the City in meeting its share of the regional housing need for lower- and moderate-income households. A city policy to clearly reflect water allocation priority and incentives for Extremely Low, Very Low, Low, and Moderate-Income households will be adopted (December 2026). Timeframe: Adopt policy by June 2025.

In a memo dated June 1, 2023, the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District (MPWMD) estimated that the City of Carmel-by-the-Sea would need 40-acre-feet of water to accommodate 349 new housing units based on various income categories and assumed unit sizes (Attachment 10). These estimates assume that a development site is vacant with no existing water credit. The estimates also include single-family dwellings in the mix of unit types, which have higher water usage than multifamily dwellings.

One of the strategies in the adopted housing element (2024) is to encourage the conversion of existing buildings on developed parcels in the commercial districts to residential use. These parcels have existing water credits to support some housing, although additional water may be required for added kitchens and bathrooms.

Underdeveloped properties, such as the parking lots at Sunset Center and Vista Lobos, would depend more heavily on an allocation of water to support the development of new housing units. Other strategies outlined in the adopted housing element include developing housing on sites owned by non-profits and constructing accessory dwelling units in single-family neighborhoods.

Acre-Foot, Water Credit, and Fixture Count:

An acre-foot is a unit of volume commonly used to measure large-scale water resources in municipal water supplies. One acre-foot is the amount of water it takes to cover one acre of land to a depth of one foot. If 1 acre is 43,560 square feet, then 1

Page 61 of 266 ends

acre-foot is 43,560 cubic feet of water (or 325,851 gallons). “Water credit” refers to existing or prior water uses on a parcel, or the ability to install water-efficient devices or appliances to free up water credits to offset other uses.

The MPWMD issues water permits for residential and non-residential projects. For residential uses, the MPWMD uses “fixture units” to calculate water use capacity. A fixture unit is 1/100th of an acre-foot, and each water fixture (i.e., sinks, toilets, bathtubs, showers, etc.) has a value, usually between 1 and 2 fixture units. Outdoor irrigation is calculated using the “estimated total water use” or ETWU as shown on the landscape plans.

For commercial properties, water usage is calculated based on other factors such as square footage, number of restaurant seats, etc.

The MPWMD provides water release forms (Attachments 11 and 12) that are used to authorize the District to issue a Water Permit. The residential form lists each fixture type and its associated fixture unit value, and the commercial form lists the various nonresidential factors. At this time, all projects submitted to the Community Planning and Building Department must be less than or equal to existing water usage conditions; otherwise, the application cannot be processed (CMC 17.50.040).

Table 3 below, prepared by the MPWMD, shows the typical fixture count converted to acre-feet for residential dwelling types. For more information, refer to the MPWMD memo dated June 1, 2023 (see Attachment 10).

Table 4 below applies the water fixture count and water usage in Table 3 to the city’s regional housing needs allocation (RHNA) of 349 units. The assumptions city staff used in these calculations are as follows:
• For the very low-, low-, and moderate-income units, Staff assumed a 50/50 split of 1-bath and 2-bath units.
• For the above moderate-income units, Staff assumed 75 percent of the units would be 2 bath and 25 percent would be 1 bath.

118 Above Moderate 0.111/0.068 75/25 9.879/1.7
Total 32.2535
Based on these assumptions, approximately 32-acre feet of water are needed to accommodate the RHNA. However, as noted above, one of the primary strategies of the housing element is to encourage the conversion of existing buildings on developed parcels in the commercial districts to residential use. These buildings have existing water credits that can offset a portion of the housing. In addition, due to the small number of vacant parcels in the city, most projects will involve demolition of an existing use, creating a credit that reduces the water needed for the new use(s). As a result, the amount of water required to accommodate the RHNA is likely to be less than 32-acre feet.

Proposed Housing Element Amendment:

City staff continue to work with the Affordable Housing Alternatives (AHA) resident group on a housing element amendment that identifies alternative sites and strategies for affordable housing to reduce demand on city-owned sites at the Sunset Center and Vista Lobos during the 6th cycle housing element. Table 5 below provides water demand estimates for these draft programs for comparison with the adopted housing element. Based on these estimates, approximately 30 acre-feet of water would be needed to support these draft programs

Existing Water Use Categories:

The existing water use categories adopted in Resolution 2013-43 are as follows:

Category #1: Low & Very Low-Income Housing
Category #2: Single Family Residential
Category #3: Multi-Family Residential
Category #4: Commercial
Category #5: Municipal
Category #6: Unallocated Reserve
Category #7: Mallery/Pescadero Water Transfer Reserve
Category #8: Not defined
Category #9: Forest Cottages Pre-Commitment
Categories can be added or deleted based on City Council action in adopting a new allocation Resolution. For example, Category #8 was previously known as the Spinning Wheel and was created to track the water from the Spinning Wheel restaurant water credit transfer. Once all water in a category is used, the category could be eliminated.

Similarly, staff is recommending that Category #9 be eliminated as the water has been moved to Category #1. Each category includes a description of how the water is to be utilized. If additional categories are added, new descriptions should be created to define how the water is to be used.

Commercial Water Use:

The city currently has no water allocated to the commercial use category. The commercial uses listed below are examples of MPWMD Group I uses and have the lowest water factor of 0.00007. This means they require the least amount of water compared to Group II and Group III uses. Group II uses prepare and/or sell food and/or beverages that are primarily provided to customers in or on disposable tableware, but are not full-line restaurants. Group III uses that are calculated primarily by using factors

Municipal Water Use:

The city has 0.224-acre feet of water reserved for municipal projects. This includes all forms of municipal projects, such as the expansion or renovation of existing facilities, the construction of new facilities, and changes in use. Planned projects include an expansion of the public restroom at Piccadilly Park. The addition of one public toilet would require 0.058 acre-feet of water, which can be accommodated within the current municipal water balance of 0.224 acre-feet.

Regarding the renovations of the Harrison Memorial Library and the Carmel Police Department, water usage is based on building square footage, not fixture count. Any increase in floor area would result in increased water usage and would be debited from the municipal category. No increase in floor area is proposed for the Harrison Memorial Library project.

Public drinking fountains/water filling stations do not require a water allocation.

Post Allocation Process (CMC Section 17.50.040):

One of the duties and powers of the Community Planning and Building Director is to administer the water management program (CMC Section 17.52.030.H). When a development application is submitted, it is evaluated to determine whether it will result in a net increase in water usage. If so, and no water is available, the application cannot be processed and is returned to the applicant. If there is no net increase in water usage, the application is processed in accordance with the CMC. The only exception is for projects that would create housing affordable to moderate, low- or very low-income households. These applications would be placed on a waiting list until water resources become available. There are currently no projects on the waiting list.

If new water resources were allocated to categories other than affordable housing, the Community Planning and Building Department could accept an application requiring additional water resources. Once deemed complete, a pre-commitment of water would be temporarily assigned while the application goes through the review process. If the project is denied or abandoned, the pre-commitment is returned to the original allocation category. If the application is approved, the water would be permanently allocated upon issuance of a water permit by MPWMD and a building permit by the city.

It is the responsibility of the Community Planning and Building Department to maintain a record of the remaining water balance in each allocation category, and for the Planning Commission to review the water management plan annually.

Summary/Conclusion:

The city received an initial allocation of 14 acre-feet from the MPWMD on March 1, 2025. While this may not be sufficient to support the city’s entire RHNA allocation (349 units), it provides an initial supply that is adequate to facilitate an affordable housing project should an application be submitted in the near term. In conversations with the MPWMD, additional water supply is available, and the city can request more when the allocation is depleted. To comply with the city’s General Plan and Local Coastal

Page 66 of 266 ends

Program, the Planning Commission and City Council should consider prioritizing water in accordance with existing policies, followed by lesser priorities.

FISCAL IMPACT:

None.

PRIOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION:

On August 6, 2013, the City Council passed Resolution 2013-43, adopting an amended water allocation resolution to facilitate the Carmel Event Center project.

-EXHIBIT A17.08.030 WATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM - PURPOSE The City of Carmel-by-the-Sea recognizes a need to conserve and manage its water resources to achieve adopted land use planning objectives while preserving sufficient water for existing development within the City. The water resources of the City are presently derived from a water allocation system implemented by the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District. It is the purpose and intent of this ordinance to establish a water management program that:

1. Reduces unnecessary consumption in existing and new development;

2. Provides direction for the use of the City's limited water resources in new development;

3. Equitably protects the potential for at least some development and improvement of all private property in spite of limited water resources;

4. Reserves a supply of water to buffer the City from uncontrollable fluctuations in consumption from year to yeari and

5. Establishes broad land use objectives for the use and allocation of existing and future water resources available to the City.

17.08.040 WATER CONSERVATION
Water conservation is an integral part of the City's water management program. Water resources available to the City are limited. Water conservation can increase the effective supply.

Water conservation in new development can reduce the demand from each project and thereby increase the number of projects that can be served with available resources. It is the intent of this section to establish uniform standards for water conservation and to provide guidance on the manner in which conserved water is to be used within the City's total water management program.

A. Uniform Standards for Plumbing Fixtures
The use of water conserving plumbing fixtures shall be
required for all new construction. All existing plumbing fixtures within any building that do not comply with the adopted standards for water conservation shall be replaced with complying fixtures upon issuance of any building permit authorizing substantial construction. Standards for water conserving ATTACHMENT 3

Page 76 of 266 ends

Water Ordinance 87-14

Page 6 ends

plumbing fixtures and the criteria for when such fixtures are required are established in Chapter 15.28 of the Municipal Code.

B. Landscaping Standards
It is recognized that the irrigation of plants used in landscaping can consume large quantities of water. Proper design of irrigation systems and proper selection of plant species can significantly reduce water consumption while achieving a more natural appearance in community design through the use of native plants and plants habituated to the central coast.

The following standards are intended to achieve these objectives while facilitating the improvement of landscaped areas throughout the City.

1. All plants within landscaped areas on any public right of way off private property shall be drought tolerant and
low water use species as determined by the City Forester.

2. All private projects in all Commercial and R-4 land use districts that involve additions or new buildings shall require the review and approval of a landscape and irrigation plan by the Planning Commission. Standards (a) (b) and (cl below shall be used in evaluating and
approving such plans.

3. The installation of permanent irrigation systems, designed to conserve water, is encouraged throughout the R-1
District. Irrigation systems in the R-1 District should comply with standards (a) and (c) below.

4. Standards.
a. Privately installed irrigation systems shall not be
authorized within any public right of way adjacent
to private property.
b. At least 75% of the landscaped area of all open space on project sites in the Commercial and R-4 Districts
shall be planted with drought tolerent and low water
use species as determined by the City Forester.
c. Irrigation systems shall be designed to minimize the use of water. Low-output sprinkler heads and drip
systems shall be required for systems installed on
commercial or R-4 property and shall be encouraged
on R-1 property.

ATTACHMENT 3

C. Water Waste
The waste of potable water resources is hereby declared to be a public nuisance. The unnecessary use of water for purposes that can be achieved by alternate means should be eliminated.

1. The use of hoses or other free-flowing water conveyances for the washing of sidewalks, decks, cars, walls or other large exterior surfaces is prohibited in all Commercial and R-4 Districts. Exceptions to this prohibition may be granted by the City Council when required for the
protection of health or safety.

2. The use of sprinkler systems, hoses or irrigation equipment in such a manner as to repeatedly overwater landscaped areas or excessively waste water in the cleaning of paved surfaces with a result of ponding or copious runoff is prohibited in all land use districts.

D. Use of Conserved Water
Until significant additional water resources become available, the conservation of water must be a community-wide effort. It is the intent of the City's water management program to preserve the water conserved through changes in land use and through the implementation of conservation measures so that this water may be used for the fulfillment of long range planning objectives.

As a first priority, conserved water shall be used to contribute to the creation of a water reserve, per Section 17.08.050 and to serve the needs of existing vacant lots of record. As a second priority, conserved water shall be used to serve the needs of underutilized property or property for which long range Specific Plans have been approved. As a third priority, water conserved may be used for increased development or increased land use intensity on the specific property where the conservation has occurred. It shall be the responsibility of the Planning Commission and the Department of Community Planning and Building to ensure that these priorities are implemented through appropriate land use decision-making.

17.08.050 THE WATER RESERVE
The City shall establish and maintain a water reserve of 5% of its water allocation. It is the purpose of this reserve to absorb periodic fluctuations in water use and thereby assure that the City will not exceed its water allocation. It is intended that this reserve be attained by means of conservation programs that permanently reduce water use on existing developed sites through the installation of water conserving hardware and through changes in land use that result in reduced water consumption.

A. Schedule
The following table of water reserve goals establishes a schedule by which the 5% water reserve is expected to be achieved:

Water Reserve Goals
Conservation Water Reserve Total allowable
Date Increment Total Consumption
July 1, 1986 1% 1% 99%
July 1, 1987 1% 2% 98%
July 1, 1988 1% 3% 97%
July 1, 1989 1% 4% 96%
July 1, 1990 1% 5% 95%
B. Calculation of Running Twelve-Month Water Consumption Compliance with the Water Reserve Goals established in Subsection (A) shall be determined on a monthly basis and shall be based on the water consumption records provided to the City by the California-American Water Company. Upon receipt of each month's report of metered sales, a calculation shall be made by adding the total metered consumption for each of the immediately preceding eleven months to the consumption reported for the most recent month.

C. Compliance
At the end of any period wherein the twelve-month water consumption total calculated in Subsection (B) has, for two consecutive months, remained below the total allowable consumption established for the applicable fiscal year the ATTACHMENT 3

Page 79 of 266 ends

\.,../
Water Ordinance 87-14

Page 9 ends

City shall have achieved compliance with the reserve goal for that year established by this ordinance.

D. Effect of Compliance
Upon establishing or re-establishing compliance with the full 5% water reserve goal established in Subsections (A} and (C) above, final permits for projects defined in Section 17.08,060 (B) may be released through the procedure in Section 17.08,070 (D). It shall be the responsibility of the Planning
Commission and the Department of Community Planning and Building to assure that the projected cumulative water use impact of all final permits released do not result in the loss of compliance with the full 5% water reserve.

E. New Water Resources
Any circumstance resulting in a permanent increase in water resources available to the City shall first be used to achieve the full 5% water reserve goal established in this section.

Any additional water resources remaining from such increase shall then be made available for the implementation of
projects consistent with Sections 17.08.040(D) and

17. 08 .070(D).

17.08.060 LAND USE
It is recognized that the potential for land use changes within existing buildings and through the construction of new buildings presently exceeds the capacity of water resources available to the City. The purpose of this section is to establish procedures for reviewing proposed changes in land use and to reserve limited water resources for vacant or underutilized property.

A. No change in land use shall be permitted through any permit or license that could result in a net increase in water consumption unless such change has been approved in accordance with all applicable provisions of this section and Sections 17.08.050 and 17.08.070.

ATTACHMENT 3

Page 80 of 266 ends

Water Ordinance 87-14

Page 10 ends

B. The following projects, actions or construction activities shall be considered changes in land use that could result in a net increase in water consumption pursuant to
Subsection (A) above and Section 17.08.070(A):

1. Any permit or activity authorizing or resulting in
an increase in net leaseable floor area in any commercial structure.

2. Any permit or construction authorizing or resulting
in a net increase in the number of dwelling units in
any Land Use District.

3. Changes in use resulting in a net increase in estimated water demand.

4. Any permit or construction authorizing or resulting
in a net increase in the number of separate commercial spaces within any commercial structure or the number of motel rooms available for occupancy.

5. Subdivisions or lot line adjustments resulting in a
net increase in potential lots of record, building
sites or dwelling units.

6. Any change in land use that has been determined by
the Planning Commission to use additional water
resources. Such determinations must be documented
by evidence in the public record.

C. The following projects, actions and construction activities have been determined not to result in an increase in water use pursuant to Subsection (A) above and Section 17.08.070:

1. Additions and alterations to single family residential construction on existing developed building sites when involving no increase in the number of
interior plumbing fixture units on the property.

Projects qualifying under this provision must meet
all criteria listed in Subsection (D) herein below.

2. Commercial design approvals, commercial use permit
approvals and building permits authorizing alterations, remodeling or other improvements to existing buildings. No action qualifying under this provision
shall include any increase in (a) floor area, (b) the
number of commercial shop spaces or 11K>tel units,
(c) the number of dwelling units or (d) land use
intensity. Measures of land use intensity shall
ATTACHMENT 3

1. Eligibility- Pendi ng projects must be considered for the release of final permits in the order in which they obtained thei r final requi red di sc retionary approval.

As ea ch final permit is released, or becomes available for release due to sufficient water resources, other
projects with later dates of fi nal di scretionary
approval shall then become eligible for consi deration.

2. Available Water Resources- The amount of water available for pending projects shall be calculated as:
a) the average amount by whi ch consumption has remained below the 5% reserve during the most recent two-month
period of compli ance, and
b) as reduced by the amount of water already committed
to projects which are eligible for for final permits
or for whi ch fi nal permits have been issued, but which have not yet been completed and issued Certifi cates
of Occupancy.

3. Eligibi lity Limits and Noti fi cation- If there are available water resources to serve the full estimated demand of the project under consideration, the project sponser shall be noti fied by certified mail and a final permit may be issued upon appli cation subject to all relevent city codes and procedures.

4. Time Limits, Abandonment- If a pending project becomes eligible for a final permit and no permit is applied
for or issued withi n six months of the date the project sponser is noti fied, the project shall be deemed
abandoned and shall cease to have a committment of
water resources so that other pending projects may
then be considered. Projects abandoned pursuant to
thi s section shall not be issued final permits.

Final permits issued shall be valid for a period of six months and shall thereafter be void and the project
deemed abandoned unless work has commenced on the project or the use has become establi shed.

CITY OF CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA

CITY COUNCIL
ORDINANCE NO. 93-11
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 17.08 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE

REGARDING WATER ALLOCATION IN THE CITY OF CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA WHEREAS, the City of Carmel-by-the-Sea is one of eight
member land use agencies of the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District and receives water through a regionwide allocation program administered by the District; and
WHEREAS, the City has long sought an equitable distribution of regional water resources among all member agencies; and WHEREAS, in 1990, after completing an Environmental Impact Report on water allocations, the District determined that water was in even shorter supply than originally assumed and that further issuance of permits would cause irreparable harm to the environment and expose residents and businesses of the Peninsula to unacceptable rationing hardships during drought periods; and WHEREAS, in response to this determination the District adopted a moratorium on the issuance of new water permits until additional water storage or supplies could be developed; and WHEREAS, in January of 1992, the City of Carmel-by-the-Sea stopped accepting applications for projects that could no longer obtain water permits for implementation; and
WHEREAS, the Water District, in conjunction with the
California-American Water Company, has developed a new water supply well in the City of Seaside that will allow the Water District to begin issuing water permits; and WHEREAS, the City's allocation from this new well is equal to 15.07 acre feet per year; and
WHEREAS, the Water District, in cooperation with the City, has developed a new allocation process that separates water for new development from water used by existing customers; and WHEREAS, this new process will make some provisions of
current ordinances invalid and this provides an opportunity to simplify City ordinances to coordinate with the new District process; and WHEREAS, the City's Planning Commission has studied the issues related to water use in new development and has recommended a process that allows for flexibility, monitoring, and adjustment while implementing the General Plan.

Ordinance No. 93-11
Page Two
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Carmel-bythe-Sea does ordain as follows:

Section One. Amend Sections 17.08.015, 17.08.030 and

17.08.040 as follows.

17.08.015 Demolition or Relocation of Structures. The
demolition or relocation of any structure used for residential or commercial purposes shall require review and approval by the Planning Commission prior to the issuance of a building permit authorizing such demolition or relocation. (Ord. 93-11 l(part), 1993; Ord. 87-14 4, (part), 1987).

17.08.030 Water Management Program -- Purpose. The City recognizes a need to conserve and manage its water resources to achieve adopted land use planning objectives. The water resources of the City are presently derived from a water allocation system implemented by the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District. It is the purpose and intent of this ordinance to establish a Water Management Program that: (Ord. 93-11 1 (part), 1993)

1. Reduces unnecessary water consumption in existing and new development;

2. Provides a process for dedication of the City's limited water resources in new development;

3. Establishes a process for determining the broad land use categories to be served through allocations of existing and future water resources available to the City. (Ord. 93-11 l(part), 1993; Ord. 87-14 2(Exh.A)(part), 1987).

4. Implements the General Plan. (Ord. 93-11 l(part), 1993).

17.08.040 Water Conservation. Water conservation is an
integral part of the City's water management program. Water resources available to the City are limited. In some cases, water conservation can increase the effective supply and allow development that otherwise would not be possible. Water conservation in new development can reduce the demand from each project and thereby increase the number of projects that can be served with available resources. It is the intent of this Section to establish uniform standards for water conservation and to provide guidance on the manner in which conserved water is to be used within the City's total Water Management Program. (Ord. 9 3-11 1 (part) , 19 9 3 ) .

tion shall be replaced with complying fixtures upon issuance of any building permit authorizing substantial construction. Standards for water conserving plumbing fixtures and the criteria for when such fixtures are required are established in Chapter 15.28 of this Code.

B. Landscaping Standards. It is recognized that the irrigation of plants used in landscaping can consume large quantities of water. Proper design of irrigation systems and proper selection of plant species can significantly reduce water consumption while achieving a more natural appearance in community design through the use of native plants and other species habituated to the central coast. The following standards are intended to achieve these objectives while facilitating the improvement of landscaped areas throughout the City:

1. All plants within landscaped areas on any public rightof-way adjacent to private property shall be drought tolerant and low water use species as determined by the City Forester.

2. All private projects in all commercial, R-4, and R-1 Land Use Districts that involve additions or new buildings requiring design study or design review shall require the review and approval of a landscape and irrigation plan by the Forest and Beach Department. Standards (a), (b) and (c) below shall be used in evaluating and approving such projects:
a. Privately installed irrigation systems may be
authorized within any public right-of-way adjacent to private property upon approval of an encroachment permit.
b. At least seventy-five percent of the planted area of all open space on project sites in the commercial, R-4, and R-1 districts, except for existing landscapes, shall be planted with drought tolerant and low water use species as determined by the City Forester. The City Forester shall develop and maintain a list of appropriate species to assist the public in preparing landscape plans meeting this standard.
c. Irrigation systems shall be designed to minimize the use of water. Low output sprinkler heads and/or drip irrigation shall be required for systems installed on commercial, R-4, and R-1 property.

C. Water Waste. The waste of potable water resources is declared to be a public nuisance. The unnecessary use of water for purposes that can be achieved by alternative means should be eliminated.

ATTACHMENT 4

1. The use of hoses or other free-flowing water conveyances for the washing of sidewalks, decks, cars, walls, or other large exterior surfaces is prohibited in all commercial and R-4 districts. Exceptions to this prohibition may be granted by the City Council when required for the protection of health or safety.

2. The use of sprinkler systems, hoses or irrigation
equipment in such a manner as to repeatedly overwater landscaped areas or excessively waste water in the cleaning of paved surfaces with a result of ponding or copious runoff is prohibited in all land use districts.

Section Three. The following new Sections are hereby
adopted as shown below:

17.08.050 Allocation of Water Resources. Following a public hearing, the City Council shall establish an allocation of water resources available for increased use by adopting an Allocation Resolution. The Resolution shall define: (Ord. No. 93-11 3(part), 1993).
o the remaining quantity of water available to the City including any new supplies made available since adoption of the last Allocation Resolution,
o a list of defined land use or project categories for which water will be made available,
o a discrete quantity of water, expressed in acre-feet, to be allotted for each defined land use category, and
o a discrete quantity of water to be held as unallocated reserves.

A. Planning Commission Review and Monitoring. Before adoption of an Allocation Resolution, the City Council shall consider recommendations on the appropriate distribution of water to implement the General Plan as determined by the Planning Commission.

The Allocation Resolution shall remain in effect until replaced by a subsequent Resolution containing the same information, and following the same process as outlined above. The Planning Commission should review water allocations for consistency with the ATTACHMENT 4

Page 92 of 266 ends

Ordinance No. 93-11
Page Five
General Plan on an annual basis and forward any recommendations for change to the City Council during the last month of each calendar year.

B. Unallocated Reserves. Water held in unallocated reserves shall not be used for any project or land use change until transferred to a defined allocation category. Such transfers shall be made by adopting a new Allocation Resolution as described above in Section 17.08.050.A. Reserves are intended to provide a means of adjusting water allocations to respond to changing conditions and General Plan policy. If new water resources become available to the City by action of the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District, they shall be placed in unallocated reserves administratively until distributed to other categories through adoption of a new Allocation Resolution.

17.08.060 Effect of Allocations. The purpose and effect of establishing categories for the allocation of water supplies are to limit access to water to those categories that are consistent with the General Plan. No change in land use shall be allowed through any permit or license that could result in a net increase in water use unless such change has been approved in accordance with all applicable provisions of the Water Management Program.

In determining whether a project may result in a net increase in water use the rules and regulations of the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District shall be followed.
(Ord. 93-11 3(part), 1993).

A. Acceptance of Applications. The Department of Community Planning and Building shall monitor the water allocations established by Resolution of the City Council (17.08.050.A). Each proposed change in land use or project for which an application is submitted shall be evaluated to determine whether its approval would result in a net increase in water use. Projects involving no net increase in water use may be accepted and processed without regard to water allocations. (Ord. 93-11 3(part), 1993).

For projects that may result in a net increase in water use, the following procedure shall be used by the Department:

1. The project shall first be classified into one or more land use categories based on the type of project. (For example, a mixed-use project would be classified into both the commercial and multi-family residential categories.)

2. An estimate shall then be made of the net increase in water use that would result from the project within each land use category.

ATTACHMENT 4

Page 93 of 266 ends

Ordinance No. 93-11
Page Six

3. If the project would require water from a land use
category for which no allocation has been made, the application shall be returned to the applicant and shall not be processed or shall be denied.

4. If the project would require more water from a land
use category than currently remains, after considering the original allocation minus all existing precomrnitments and dedications, the application shall be returned to the applicant and shall not be processed or shall be denied.

5. If the project requires water and there is a sufficient supply remaining in the allocation for each category affected by the project to fully meet the anticipated demand, the application may be accepted for processing after meeting all requirements for a complete application established by the City.

6. Upon acceptance of an application as complete by the Department, a precomrnitrnent of water resources shall be temporarily assigned to the project during processing of the application.

The Department shall keep a record of the remaining balance of water within each allocation category and a running total of all temporary precomrnitments and dedications to ensure that applications are not accepted for processing for which water would be unavailable upon approval. For projects that are denied or abandoned, the precommitrnent shall be terminated and the water shall be administratively restored to its original allocation category.

B. Approval of Applications. Once an application for a project requiring water resources has been approved, the Department shall permanently reduce the remaining balance within each allocation category affected by the project and shall issue· a water release to the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District authorizing a debit to the City's water allocation. This action shall terminate the temporary precornrnitment of water resources and create a permanent dedication of water resources to the project, subject to all applicable time limits established in the permit or by the Municipal Code.

Section Four. Severability. If any part of this Ordinance is found to be unenforceable, such finding shall not affect the enforceability of any other part.

WATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM1
Sections:

17.50.010 Purpose.

17.50.020 Water Conservation.

17.50.030 Allocation of Water Resources.

17.50.040 Effects of Allocation.

17.50.010 Purpose.

The City recognizes a need to conserve and manage its water resources to achieve adopted land use planning objectives. The water resources of the City are presently derived from a water allocation system implemented by the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District. It is the purpose and intent of this chapter to establish a water management program that:

A. Reduces unnecessary water consumption in existing and new development; B. Provides a process for dedication of the City’s limited water resources in new development; C. Establishes a process for determining the broad land use categories to be served through allocations of existing and future water resources available to the City; and D. Implements the General Plan and Coastal Land Use Plan. (Ord. 2004-02 § 1, 2004; Ord. 2004-01 § 1, 2004).

17.50.020 Water Conservation.

Water conservation is an integral part of the City’s water management program. Water resources available to the City are limited. In some cases, water conservation can increase the effective supply and allow development that otherwise would not be possible. Water conservation in new development can reduce the demand from each project and thereby increase the number of projects that can be served with available resources. It is the intent of this chapter to establish uniform standards for water conservation and to provide guidance on the manner in which conserved water is to be used within the City’s total water management program.

A. Uniform Standards for Plumbing Fixtures. The use of water-conserving plumbing fixtures shall be required for all new construction. All existing plumbing fixtures within any building that do not comply with the adopted standards for water conservation shall be replaced with complying fixtures upon issuance of any building permit authorizing substantial construction. Standards for water-conserving plumbing fixtures and the criteria for when such fixtures are required are established in Chapter 15.28 CMC.

The Carmel-by-the-Sea Municipal Code is current through Ordinance 2024-02, passed December 3, 2024.

17.50.030 Allocation of Water Resources.

A. Allocation. Following a public hearing, the City Council shall establish an allocation of water resources available for increased use by adopting an allocation resolution. The resolution shall define:

1. The remaining quantity of water available to the City including any new supplies made available since adoption of the last allocation resolution;

2. A list of defined land use or project categories for which water will be made available;

3. A discrete quantity of water, expressed in acre-feet per year, to be allotted for each defined land use category; and

4. A discrete quantity of water to be held as unallocated reserves.

B. Planning Commission Review and Monitoring. Before adoption of an allocation resolution, the City Council shall consider recommendations on the appropriate distribution of water to implement the General Plan and the Local Coastal Program as determined by the Planning Commission. Each allocation resolution shall reserve at least 10 percent of available water resources for projects that will create new affordable housing units for moderately low-, low- or very low-income households. Each allocation resolution also shall ensure that water is reserved for anticipated projects serving coastal recreation, access and essential public services. The allocation resolution shall remain in effect until replaced by a subsequent resolution containing the same information, and following the same process as outlined above. The Planning Commission should review water allocations for consistency with the General Plan and the Local Coastal Program on an annual basis and forward any recommendations for change to the City Council during the last month of each calendar year.

C. Unallocated Reserves. Water held in unallocated reserves shall not be used for any project or land use change until transferred to a defined allocation category. Such transfers shall be made by adopting a new allocation resolution as described in subsection (A) of this section. Reserves are intended to provide a means of adjusting water allocations to respond to changing conditions and General Plan policy. If new water resources become available to the City by action of the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District, they shall be placed in unallocated reserves administratively until distributed to other categories through adoption of a new allocation resolution. (Ord. 2004-02 § 1, 2004; Ord. 2004-01 § 1, 2004).

17.50.040 Effects of Allocation.

The Carmel-by-the-Sea Municipal Code is current through Ordinance 2024-02, passed December 3, 2024.

Carmel-by-the-Sea Municipal Code Chapter 17.50 WATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM1 Page 2 of 4 ATTACHMENT 5

Page 97 of 266 ends

The purpose and effect of establishing categories for the allocation of water supplies are to limit access to water to those categories that are consistent with the General Plan and the Local Coastal Program. No change in land use shall be allowed through any permit or license that could result in a net increase in water use unless such change has been approved in accordance with all applicable provisions of the water management program. In determining whether a project may result in a net increase in water use the rules and regulations of the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District shall be followed.

A. Acceptance of Applications. The Department of Community Planning and Building shall monitor the water allocations established by resolution of the City Council (CMC 17.50.030, Allocation of Water Resources). Each proposed change in land use or project for which an application is submitted shall be evaluated to determine whether its approval could result in a net increase in water use as defined by the Water Management District.

Projects involving no net increase in water use or that will create new housing affordable to moderate, low- or very low-income households may be accepted and processed without regard to water allocations. For projects that may result in a net increase in water use, the following procedure shall be used by the Department:

2. An estimate shall then be made of the net increase in water use that would result from the project within each land use category.

3. If the project would require water from a land use category for which no allocation has been made, the application shall be returned to the applicant and shall not be processed.

4. If the project would require more water from a land use category than currently remains, after considering the original allocation minus all existing pre-commitments and dedications, the application shall be returned to the applicant and shall not be processed or shall be denied. An exception shall be allowed if the project would create housing affordable to moderate, low- or very low-income households. In such cases, the project shall be processed and then put on a waiting list until water resources become available.

6. Upon acceptance of an application as complete by the department, a pre-commitment of water resources shall be temporarily assigned to the project during processing of the application. The department shall keep a record of the remaining balance of water within each allocation category and a running total of all temporary pre-commitments and dedications to ensure that applications are not accepted for processing for which water would be unavailable upon approval. For projects that are denied or abandoned, the preThe Carmel-by-the-Sea Municipal Code is current through Ordinance 2024-02, passed December 3, 2024.

Page 98 of 266 ends

1 commitment shall be terminated and the water shall be administratively restored to its original allocation category.

B. Approval of Applications. Once an application for a project requiring water resources has been approved, the Department shall permanently reduce the remaining balance within each allocation category affected by the project and shall issue a water release to the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District authorizing a debit to the City’s water allocation. This action shall terminate the temporary pre-commitment of water resources and create a permanent dedication of water resources to the project, subject to all applicable time limits established in the permit or by the municipal code.

C. Abandonment of Dedicated Water Resources. Upon making a determination that a water release has expired without use, or that time limits applicable to a project have expired without implementation, all water previously dedicated to a project, but not used, shall be considered abandoned. All water abandoned or not used by such unimplemented projects shall be returned to the allocation category from which it originated and shall become available for use by subsequent projects. For projects that are implemented and water demand was overestimated, any remaining, unused water shall be credited back to the City’s unallocated reserve. (Ord. 2004- 02 § 1, 2004; Ord. 2004-01 § 1, 2004).

ORDINANCE NO. 197

AN ORDINANCE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE

MONTEREY PENINSULA WATER MANAGEMENT DISTRICT

ALLOCATING WATER FROM

PURE WATER MONTEREY EXP ANSI ON

FINDINGS

1. The Monterey Peninsula Water Management District ("District") is organized and exists under the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District Law (Chapter 527 of the Statutes of 1977, and published at Water Code Appendix, Section 118-1, et seq.) ("District Law").

2. The District is charged under the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District Law with the integrated management of all ground and surface water resources in the Monterey Peninsula area.

3. State Water Resources Control Board ("SWRCB") Order No. WR 95-10 dated July 6, 1995, determined that California American Water ("Cal-Am") did not have the right to divert as much water from the Carmel River system as it historically did. The SWRCB, through Order WR 2009-0060, authorized Cal-Am to continue these diversion levels until 2017, and then again through Order WR 2016-0016 to 2021, at which point alternative water supplies were required to avoid significant threats to the health, safety and welfare of residents, businesses, visitors and property owners on the Monterey Peninsula.

4. The Pure Water Monterey ("PWM")/Groundwater Replenishment Project ("PWM/GWR") is an advanced water recycling project, jointly developed by MPWMD and Monterey One Water ("Ml W"). The PWM Groundwater Replenishment Final Environmental Impact Report ("2015 EIR") was certified by M 1 W in October 2015, with Addenda approved in June 2016, March 2017, and October 2017 to address project changes (SCH #2013051094; MPWMD/Ml W 2015, 2016, 2017a, 2017b). Initially, the approved PWM/GWR Project had an operational capacity of 4.0 million gallons per day (mgd). In 2017, Ml W approved a modification to the PWM/GWR Project that expanded operational capacity from 4.0 mgd to 5.0 mgd (MPWMD/MlW 2019). The PWM/GWR Project is owned and operated by Ml W. Currently, MPWMD sells 3,500 AFY of water from PWM/GWR to Cal-Am.

5. In 2019, Ml W prepared a Draft Supplemental EIR for modifications to expand the water supply yield of the approved PWM/GWR Project. These modifications would expand facility peak capacity from 5 mgd to 7.6 mgd and would ultimately result in an additional 2,250 AFY of purified recycled water for injection into the Seaside Groundwater Basin. 5 Harris Court, Building G, Monterey, CA 93940 • P.O. Box 85, Monterey, CA 93942-0085 831-658-5600 • Fax 831-644-9560 • http://www.mpwmd.net
ATTACHMENT 6

Page 100 of 266 ends

MPWMD would subsequently extract and sell a total average yield of 5,750 AFY to CalAm (MPWMD/Ml W 2019). The PWM/GWR Project would also deliver 600 AFY to the Marina Coast Water District. The 5,750 AFY of water would replace a portion of the water supply for Cal-Am, which has been required by the SWRCB to reduce drafting water from the Carmel River to legally permitted levels. The Final Supplemental EIR ("2021 SEIR") was certified in April 2021, and an Addendum was approved in November 2021 (SCH #2013051094, MPWMD/Ml W 2020, 2021).

6. The District Law grants MPWMD general and specific powers to cause sufficient water to be available for present and future beneficial use or uses of lands or inhabitants within the District. MPWMD Rule 30 requires the District to establish a specific Allocation for each Jurisdiction to manage water supplies throughout the District.

7. The PWM Expansion provides a replacement water supply that should enable the lifting of the SWRCB Cease and Desist Order (CDO) and the California Public Utilities Commission ("CPUC") moratorium on the setting of new meters.

8. Ordinance No. 197 allocates a portion of the additional new water supply made available by the expansion of the PWM/GWR Project amongst the Monterey Peninsula Jurisdictions within the District's service area. The District anticipates that the additional water supply will be on-line by the fourth quarter of 2025. The Amended and Restated Water Purchase Agreement for the Pure Water Monterey (PWM) Expansion project was signed in March 2023.

9. The District considered several factors when determining the allocation, including but not limited to historical average water consumption data, water production data, water availability, and estimates of job and population growth for each Jurisdiction based on the Association of Monterey Bay Area Governments (AMBAG) 2022 Regional Growth Forecast.

10. The District is allocating a portion of the new supply and retains flexibility to be able to allocate additional supply when needed to meet future water demands of the Jurisdictions.

11. In May 2023, the District authorized an environmental consultant to perform a literature review of Environmental Impact Reports (EIRs ), Supplemental EIRs, general plans, etc. for water projects and future growth and then advise the District through a technical memorandum on the appropriate environmental action for the Allocation Process. The Technical Memorandum concluded (a) that the proposed water allocation qualifies as a project under CEQA because it is being undertaken by a public agency (the District) and has the potential for reasonably foreseeable indirect physical changes in the environment, such as facilitating land development through the provision of increased water supplies. In other words, the additional water that would be available to Jurisdictions in the Cal-Am Service Area within the District could facilitate development that would have otherwise been impossible due to lack of water availability; and (b) The document review determined that the Pure Water Monterey 2021 Supplemental EIR (SEIR) had already analyzed the growth-inducing and secondary environmental effects associated with the proposed water MPWMD Ordinance No. 197, Pure Water Monterey Expansion Allocation Ordinance

allocation, which is, in practice, a continuation of the District's existing water allocation program. Based on those findings, the District undertook preparation of an Addendum to the SEIR.

12. The District prepared the EIR Addendum which supported the District's determination that the additional water allocation is within the scope of the 2021 SEIR, did not require subsequent action under CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 and, in conjunction with the 2021 SEIR, adequately analyzes potential environmental impacts. The Addendum was adopted by the District Board in February 2024.

NOW THEREFORE, be it ordained as follows:

C. WATER WEST ADJUSTMENT RESERVE
A special reserve shall be has been established to replenish separate from the Monterey County Allocation for new and intensified water use approved by Monterey County which occurs within the boundaries of the former Water West Water Distribution System in Carmel Valley. R�plenishment of Monterey County's Allocation from this special reserve shall occur only upon the approval of water use for real property \Vithin the Water West boundary. The total quantity of water use to replenish Monterey County's Allocation available pursuant to this paragraph shall not exceed 12.76 Acre-Feet (sales).

D. LIMIT ON FUTURE WATER ALLOCATIONSCOST OF ALLOCATION
There \vill be no further allocation of water until an adequate water supply is established.There shall be no sale of water from an Allocation by a Jurisdiction.

Water permitted from an Allocation shall, however, be subject to the Capacity Fee collected by the District.

E. RELEASE OF ALLOCATION
A Jurisdiction shall release water from an Allocation by use of the Water Release Form approved by the District. A Water Release Form shall expire after five years or more frequently as determined by the Jurisdiction. Jurisdictions are encouraged to maintain records of the release of water and expiration.

F. DETERMINATION OF ALLOCATIONS

1. The District began the process of determining Jurisdictional Allocations in 2023, culminating in a meeting on September 12, 2024, to provide a detailed overview of the District's methodology and process for · distribution of the new supplies. The process was summarized for Jurisdictions' boards and councils at subsequent public meetings.

The methodology used by the District to determine the Allocations of water to be available in 2025 included, but was not limited to:
a. The recent 5-year average water demand by Jurisdiction. b. Total water supplies, inclusive of the Pure Water Monterey Expansion, were calculated and the existing recent 5-year average total demand was subtracted. Of the difference, 1,000 AF was identified to be held in the District Reserve as a ''factor of safety." The remainder was considered "available" for allocation.

MPWMD Ordinance No. 197, Pure Water Monterey Expansion Allocation Ordinance

Page 5 ends

ATTACHMENT 6

Page 104 of 266 ends

c. The 25-year growth rate in water demand by Jurisdiction was forecasted based upon the Association of Monterey Bay Area Governments (AMBAG) Regional Growth Forecast, utilizing population growth for future Residential water use and job growth for future Non-Residential water use.
d. The alternate methodology of a survey was used for determining future demands for the Monterey Peninsula Airport District and the Army, Navy, and Coast Guard (Department of Defense Sites). e. Adjustments, if any, were made for the 6
t11 Cycle Regional Housing
Needs Allocation (RHNA).
f. It was determined that the 25-year total increase in demand was less than the new supplies available for allocation. Based on each Jurisdiction's forecasted 25-year demand, a portion of its future demand has been Allocated from the new available supply (Pure Water Monterey Expansion) and the remainder retained in the District Reserve, available for future allocation.
g. Existing unused Jurisdictional Allocations as of the effective date of this Ordinance were left intact.

2. The Board of Directors shall examine the Allocations at least every four years following the AMBA G Regional Growth Forecast. Allocations may be reviewed more frequently at the discretion of the Board.

G. BISHOP AND RYAN RANCH SUB-UNITS
Section Five:

Henceforth, water Connections in the Bishop and Ryan Ranch subsystems of Cal-Am shall be tracked and accounted for using the same methodology as the Main California American Water System described in Regulation II, including the requirement/or authorization of water from the Jurisdiction's Allocation as described in Rule 23 and calculated in Rule 24.

Availability of Allocations
Each Jurisdiction should limit the release of water from its Allocation to projects that will not be completed before December 31, 2025, until Pure Water Monterey Expansion has received its final approval. All projects using an Allocation, with the exceptions of the Bishop, Ryan Ranch, and Hidden Hills units of Cal-Am, are subject to the moratorium on new Connections imposed by SWRCB Orders WR 2009-0060 and WR 2016-0016. Pre-existing Paralta and pre-Paralta Allocations may continue to be used in the interim.

Section Six: Residential Retrofit Credit (Ordinances 74 and 90 MPWMD Ordinance No. 197, Pure Water Monterey Expansion Allocation Ordinance

Page 6 ends

ATTACHMENT 6

Page 105 of 266 ends

Ordinances No. 74 and No. 90 enacted a program allowing toilet retrofit water savings to be used to offset added water fixtures in Residential uses. The ordinances specified that the reinvested savings must be debited from a future allocation. From 1995 through 1998, 12.7 Acre-Feet (AF) of savings were used through the program. As required by the program, 12. 7 AF shall be accounted for from the District Reserve Allocation.

Section Seven: Effective Date
This ordinance shall take effect at 12:01 a.m. on March 1, 2025.

Section Eight: Severability
If any subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase of this ordinance is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity shall not affect the validity or enforcement of the remaining portions of this ordinance, or of any other provisions of the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District Rules and Regulations. It is the District's express intent that each remaining portion would have been adopted irrespective of the fact that one or more subdivisions, paragraphs, sentences, clauses, or phrases be declared invalid or unenforceable.

Technical Memorandum
June 1, 2023
Summary of Water Supply Requirements for Housing
Typically, a water supply/demand analysis would examine future residential water demand based on population 1
, because people use water not houses, but this year is the beginning of the 6 th
Cycle of the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) effort, so this memorandum will focus on how much residential water is needed to meet typical housing needs and the RHNA goals.

However, it is important to acknowledge that a full supply and demand forecast such as the District's 2022 Adopted Supply and Demand Forecast also include non-residential (such as commercial) water needs going forward to meet job growth and economic expansion.

Residential Water Need - What Do Housing Types Use?
The District has a long-established residential fixture unit count methodology that is captured in its Rules and Regulations, Rule 24. The data is statistically based on engineering, design, and plumbing standards for residential housing units, and is updated to current standards regularly.

The methodology examines architectural floor plans and determines ("counts") the number of fixtures in the proposed structure or dwelling unit and, based on the installed fixtures, determines the capacity of the dwelling unit to use water.

For purposes of forecasting future needs, the District has applied its fixture unit counts to determine the following for typical or standard capacity for water use, in acre-feet per unit:

2 "Other" may include other fixtures such as utility sink, bar sink, vegetable sink, bidet, custom tub or showers. Overall project landscaping will be added.

How do these Capacity Factors Apply to RHNA Categories? RHNA requirements are allocated to four categories of housing based on affordability, but each category may be a mix of housing types. Therefore, the District assumes a mixture of housing types for each category.

Based on the RHNA Goals and the Capacity Factors, What is the RHNA Water Need? Based on the District's computed capacity factors by RHNA category, the Monterey Peninsula future residential water need can be forecast as 765 acre-feet, computed as follows. However, the total must be adjusted for jurisdictions whose housing need will be served in part by another water provider, which will include old Fort Ord land and certain self-sourced developments in the Carmel Valley and elsewhere, resulting in a need of 670 AF:

Staff Report
October 7, 2025

ORDERS OF BUSINESS
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY: Ken Wysocki, Director of Public Works
APPROVED BY: Chip Rerig, City Administrator
SUBJECT: Resolution 2025-089 Approving a construction contract with Moya & Sons Builders, Inc. in the amount of $136,185 for the Fire Station Upgrade Project and Authorizing the City Administrator to Execute the Contact and Approve Change Orders up to a 10% Contingency (Estimated time - 20 min)
RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Resolution 2025-089 Approving a construction contract with Moya & Sons Builders, Inc. in the amount of $136,185 for the Fire Station Upgrade Project and Authorizing the City Administrator to Execute the Contact and Approve Change Orders up to a 10% Contingency.

BACKGROUND / SUMMARY:

As part of the FY25–26 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), the City Council approved $175,000 in funding for upgrades to the Carmel Fire Station. The primary purpose of this project is to modify and expand the engine bays to accommodate a newly purchased large fire engine scheduled for delivery in December 2025.

The approved plans prepared by WRD Architects (Attachment 2, dated June 24, 2025) detail modifications including:
• Downsizing existing office space,
• Removal of partition walls to create a turnout room,
• Framing and siding improvements,
• Mechanical, electrical, and HVAC adjustments, and

Page 119 of 266 ends

• Ceiling, drywall, and interior finishing
Discussion:

Given the scheduled delivery of the new fire engine, completing this project prior to December 2025 is essential to ensure the City can house the new vehicle safely and securely. Without these upgrades, the fire station bays will not meet the clearance and configuration requirements for the new apparatus, creating potential delays in fire response and compromising public safety.

To expedite the project, staff sought three competitive quotes in lieu of formal bidding, consistent with provisions under the California Public Contract Code and the City’s purchasing policies. The lowest responsive quote was received from Moya & Sons Builders, Inc. in the amount of $136,185 (Attachment 3).

Emergency Justification:

Under California Public Contract Code § 22050 a local agency may, upon a four-fifths vote of the Council, forego formal bidding when emergency circumstances require prompt action to address a clear and imminent threat to public health, safety, or essential services.

This project qualifies as an emergency because:
• The Fire Department’s ability to house and operate its apparatus is a critical public safety function.
• The delivery of the City’s new fire engine in December 2025 necessitates that construction be completed immediately.
• Delays associated with formal bidding would make timely completion unfeasible.

The City has complied with the spirit of competitive pricing by soliciting three quotes from licensed contractors, ensuring cost reasonableness while meeting urgent public safety needs.

Conclusion:

The Fire Station Upgrade Project is essential to ensure the City can safely accommodate its new fire apparatus and maintain uninterrupted emergency services.

Staff recommends that the City Council approve the attached Resolution (Attachment 1). The presentation slides are included as Attachment 4.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The awarded contract of $136,185 is within the approved CIP budget of $175,000 for this project. Remaining funds will cover contingency, permits, and incidental costs.
