Item 7 - Resolution 2025-085 Authorizing the City Administrator to Execute a Professional Services Agreement with Opticos for a not-to-exceed fee of $212,290 to prepare objective design and development standards (ODDS) for accessory dwelling units, multifamily residential, and mixed-use residential
Principal Planner Marnie Waffle presented the staff report and answered Council questions.

Council discussed how the new ODDS would apply to Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs). Ms.

Waffle explained that state law requires ADUs to comply with objective design standards, and applications that do not meet them cannot be approved administratively. Tony Perez from Opticos added that applicants may choose to revise their plans or voluntarily pursue discretionary review, so long as the discretionary review process is requested by the applicant and not a requirement.

Public Comment:

Nancy Twomey
Maria Ruess
Council expressed support for moving forward with the Opticos contract to establish clear, locally inspired design guidelines. Mayor Pro Tem Delves suggested requiring ADUs to incorporate at least five architectural elements from the main residence to maintain neighborhood character.

Council agreed that adopting ADU standards is a high priority and supported increasing the contract amount to allow for additional public hearings: two within the first eight months to adopt ADU guidelines, and two later for multifamily and mixed-use guidelines. Staff was directed to coordinate with the consultant to minimize costs by consolidating hearings where possible.

Motion by Mayor Pro Tem Delves to adopt Resolution 2025-085, with the following amendments:
1) Increase the contract amount with Opticos to a not-to-exceed total of $220,000 (an $8,000 increase), to cover two additional public hearings to adopt the ADU Objective Design Standards (ODDS) in eight months, and
2) Hold two hearings at the end of the sixteen months to separately adopt the Multifamiy and Mixed-Use ODDS Motion was seconded by Councilmember Dramov, and approved 5-0-0-0 by the following roll call vote:

AYES: Councilmembers Baron, Buder, Delves, Dramov, and Mayor Byrne NOES: None

Mary Bilse, Environmental Programs Manager, presented the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with ReGen Monterey for regional planning related to the upcoming solid waste franchise agreement renewal. She explained that the MOU outlines the shared costs, responsibilities, and deliverables among seven participating agencies, with Carmel’s contribution totaling $76,374 over five years. She also noted that HF&H Consultants were selected to lead the regional planning process, including public outreach and stakeholder engagement.

Emily Hansen of HF&H Consultants and Zoe Shoats of ReGen Monterey responded to Council questions.

Item 8 - Receive a presentation on the Mills Act, discuss potential policy amendment options and provide direction to staff regarding the preparation of proposed policy modifications for future Council consideration
Community and Building Planning Director Anna Ginette presented an overview of the Mills Act Program, the City’s current policy, and the urgency ordinance enacted in December 2023 that temporarily suspended new applications. She noted a correction to the staff report regarding preand post-Mills Act property tax amounts and outlined potential policy amendment options, including limiting revenue loss, setting value caps, restricting eligibility to residential properties, capping the number of contracts, or issuing non-renewals.

Council asked about the administrative workload of managing the City’s 15–19 active Mills Act contracts, with staff responding that annual monitoring and renewal reviews require significant time.

Public Comment:

Karen Ferlito
Kristi Reimers
Will Rei
Nicolas Ortega, County Assessor’s Office representative Councilmembers expressed concern over the lack of reliable tax impact data from the County Assessor’s Office, the inequitable distribution of tax benefits, and the limited community value of the program. Nick Ortega, a representative from the Monterey County Assessor’s Office explained that projected tax savings cannot be accurately calculated in advance due to multiple assessment factors.

Mayor Pro Tem Delves and Councilmember Buder favored phasing out the program, citing inequities and administrative inefficiencies. Councilmember Dramov acknowledged the program’s preservation value but questioned whether it serves enough public benefit to justify its costs.

Councilmember Baron and Mayor Byrne agreed that the program appears difficult to manage effectively.

Council discussed exploring alternative preservation incentives, such as permit fee reductions for historic renovations or eligibility thresholds based on assessed property value.

Council provided consensus direction to staff to:
● Prepare a Policy Resolution for Council consideration to issue non-renewal notices for all existing Mills Act Contracts.
● Review the City’s Municipal Code to identify any necessary amendments to remove Mills Act Provisions from the City’s Historic Preservation Ordinance. ● Present alternative incentive options for historic preservation to replace the Mills Act Program, such as reduced permit fees for historic review, at a future meeting.

CLOSED SESSION
City Attorney Pierik read the closed session titles.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
Item 1 - Consideration of One or More Ordinances Regarding Tennis and Pickleball Courts in Forest Hill Park including Ordinances to prohibit pickleball pending study by City of sound attenuation options and Ordinances to adopt rules regulating the usage of tennis and pickleball courts; and consideration of related CEQA exemptions (i.e., Common Sense Exemption [CEQA Guidelines § 15061(b)(3)] and Class 2 Existing Facilities Categorical Exemption [CEQA Guidelines § 15301])
City Attorney Pierik summarized the background and four proposed ordinances addressing pickleball regulation and sound impacts at Forest Hill Park. Mayor Byrne and Councilmember Dramov reported visiting the Pacific Grove (PG) pickleball courts to review their acoustic fencing, noting it was visually unappealing, obstructed visibility, and overall ineffective at reducing noise.

Councilmembers Baron, Buder, and Delves shared similar findings when they made their visits to observe the PG courts.

Mayor Byrne shared that he has compiled a list of nearby pickleball locations that will be posted online for those seeking alternatives. He noted that the Carmel Middle School tennis courts will soon allow public pickleball play after school hours, on weekends, and during breaks.

Council discussed Urgency Ordinance No. 1, which would temporarily prohibit pickleball at Forest Hill Park while staff studies sound mitigation options. Councilmembers Buder and Baron supported the ban with a possible trial program allowing only “quiet” pickleballs. Mayor Pro Tem Delves and Councilmember Dramov cited enforcement as an ongoing challenge, noting that other cities rely on recreation staff for enforcement, which Carmel does not have.

Motion by Councilmember Buder to adopt Urgency Ordinance #1 prohibiting pickleball play at Forest Hill Park, and to direct staff to return next month with a proposed Ordinance establishing a trial program allowing pickleball play using quiet balls only. Motion seconded by Councilmember Baron and approved 5-0-0-0 by the following roll call vote:

RECESS

Mayor Pro Tem Delves presented the findings of the Street Address Working Group, which spent six months researching the feasibility of transitioning Carmel to an Address Management System (AMS) compliant addressing model compatible with USPS, utility providers, and emergency services. He said the working group held two well-attended public workshops to gather feedback and developed a prototype addressing model that maintains centralized mail delivery through the Carmel Post Office.

Councilmember Dramov asked how Google Maps would update with new addresses. Mayor Pro Tem Delves explained that the AMS system automatically syncs with Google’s mapping data.

RECESS
Council took a recess at 9:27 pm and returned at 9:34 pm.

Councilmember Baron emphasized the importance of aligning water allocations with the City’s Housing Element and limiting water use for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU’s) that exceed existing floor area limits. He expressed strong opposition to granting new water for expanded ADUs.

Councilmembers discussed the challenges of defining separate water categories, balancing housing needs with water conservation, and avoiding over-allocation. Council agreed that a detailed policy discussion and review of the Planning Commission’s framework would require more time and that making major amendments to the proposed resolution during the meeting would not be productive.

Council agreed to return with an interim allocation Resolution that would provide short-term relief and would release limited water for near-term projects, and agreed to defer complex policy issues to a later study session. Council gave consensus support for maintaining separate single-family and multi-family residential categories and creating a new ADU category with no allocation at this time.

Mayor Pro Tem Delves proposed the following interim allocations (totaling 8 acre-feet):
● 3 AF – Low & Very Low-Income Housing
● 3 AF – Single-Family Residential
● 2 AF – Multi-Family Residential
● 0 AF – ADUs (new category established)
● 0 AF – Commercial
● Remaining balance – Unallocated Reserve (municipal category unchanged) ATTACHMENT 2

Page 15 of 387 ends

City Council Regular Meeting Minutes – October 7, 2025

Page 6 of 7 ends

He recommended that staff return at the November 4 Council meeting with a new resolution reflecting these allocations and schedule a special meeting within 30 days to address broader policy topics such as ADU treatment, category structure, and update frequency.

Motion by Mayor Pro Tem Delves directing staff to return at the next City Council meeting with a new Resolution with the following Water Allocation amounts: 3 acre feet (AF) for low and very low income housing, 3 AF for single family residential, 2 AF for multi-family residential, 0 AF for ADU’s, 0 AF for commercial, and remaining balance to the unallocated reserve, and to hold a separate special meeting in the future for further policy discussion.

SUBJECT: September 2025 Check Register Summary
RECOMMENDATION:

Approve the check register for September 2025
BACKGROUND / SUMMARY:

The check register is a financial report generated from the City's financial system (Attachment 1). It categorizes checks by the responsible department or function, providing essential information such as the check number, vendor name, purchase description, check issue date, and the check amount.

Per the California Supreme Court's decision in the case of Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors v. Superior Court (Dec. 29, 2016) (2016 WL 7473802), the check register excludes the specific invoice payments for legal services incurred for pending and active investigations, pending and active litigation, as well as recently concluded matters. The Supreme Court has ruled that these specific invoices are protected under attorney-client privilege and therefore are not subject to disclosure under the Public Records Act.

The check register provides valuable insights into the City's financial transactions, ensuring transparency and accountability in our financial operations. The exclusion of certain legal services payments adheres to the California Supreme Court's guidelines, safeguarding attorney-client privilege. The contract balance information further enhances our financial transparency.

The 5K run will follow the "Run in the Name of Love" course, beginning at Sunset Center and finishing at the Del Mar parking lot. Part of the course runs through the County of Monterey, and the organizers are coordinating with County representatives.

San Carlos Street, between Eighth Avenue and Tenth Avenue, and Ninth Avenue between San Carlos Street and Dolores Street will be closed to through traffic from 5:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. for start line set-up and the race start. The Del Mar parking lot will be closed to public use from 5:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. for finish line activities.

Pedestrian access to the beach will not be blocked. The organizers will provide portable restrooms at both the start and finish areas, and coordinate with GreenWaste Recovery for the delivery/pickup of extra trash receptacles. The organizers expect 850 participants.

Event timeline:
• Set up at San Carlos Street between. Eighth Avenue and Tenth Avenue - From 5:00 a.m. and 8:30 a.m.

Staff discussed the parking issue for such a large event. The organizers will encourage carpooling and are requesting that the North Lot of Sunset Center be reserved for participant parking between 5:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

The organizers are also requesting an exemption from Chapter 8.56 of the Municipal Code for the purposes of this special event, beginning at 7:30 a.m. on the day of the race, to allow for public announcements.

The 5k qualifies as a temporary event, exempt from a Coastal Development Permit.

Cities, counties, or other organizations seeking funding for multiple departments or sub-units must submit a separate application for each such entity. Sub-units must be clearly distinctive, with separate collections in different physical locations and administered by separate personnel.

I confirm that my organization meets
the eligibility criteria for this grant.

Project Mission
Provide your organization’s mission, along with a broad description of the collection that would be preserved. Offer any highlights of materials that illustrate the importance of the sources and the audience(s) they serve; identify the underserved California cultural heritage community(ies) most substantially represented in the collections, noting any exemplary sources.

The Carmel Public Library, through its Local History Department, is the archives for Carmel-by-the-Sea, and is devoted to acquiring, preserving, and making available historically significant items concerning the history of Carmel and the surrounding areas. These collections include over 7,000 photographs, 2,000 books, letters, diaries, manuscripts, programs, maps, scrapbooks and works of art. The archival collections are stored in a climate-controlled vault in the Park Branch Library (renovated in 1989 and updated several times since), and in an off-site storage unit. The Library is also in charge of the City's 900+ piece art collection, some of which are on public display in City buildings, including the Harrison Memorial Library and the council chambers at City Hall. The City’s permanent records are stored in a belowgrade storage room in City Hall. The Local History Department is a public research archive, and makes available more than a hundred years worth of material relating to Carmel's artistic, literary, theatrical, architectural and cultural heritage. Our collections include material on the 115 year old Forest Theater, the first outdoor theater on the west coast; authors and activists Lincoln Steffens and Ella Winter; the 90-year history of the Carmel Bach Festival; California's early bohemians, including George Sterling, and Bertha and Perry Newberry; and poet Robinson Jeffers, among many others. The art collection includes pieces by early California and local artists such as Mary De Neale Morgan, Charlotte Morgan, William Posey Silva, Charles Rollo Peters, and Armin Hansen.

Project Rationale
Discuss the rationale for the project, including key preservation and emergency readiness concerns your organization faces, such as environmental, natural disaster, security, or other threats that need to be addressed.

Note any disaster-related damage that your collection has previously experienced; highlight any sources that are particularly at risk of loss or deterioration.

Our library has been working to improve our emergency preparedness and resilience for over 10 years. We've made strides in expanding and updating our plan, training our staff, and starting a cache of disaster response supplies.

However, the buildings housing our collections are 50-100 years old and were not originally intended to hold archival materials or art collections. Both the Harrison Memorial Library and our City Hall have valuable art pieces from early California artists on display; both are historic buildings with numerous single-pane windows and little-to-no UVblocking film installed. The records storage space at City Hall is a below-grade room that shares a wall with the building’s boiler. As with the rest of California, our city faces increasing danger from wildfires. The 2020 Carmel Fire didn’t reach our library, but the air quality was significantly impacted, and many of our staff and community members were affected by evacuation orders. Winter storms, like the ones that we experienced in February-March of 2023 and 3 of 9
ATTACHMENT 2

Page 84 of 387 ends

2024, are becoming more common, resulting in widespread power outages, flooding, and downed trees and power lines, all of which threaten our facilities and collections.

In September 2024, the final report from our Ready or Not assessment highlighted several security and preservation concerns, and provided us with a list of recommendations to improve our emergency preparedness. We've already implemented several of the recommendations, including removing the carpet from the Park Branch archival vault and improving exit signage. With the support of this grant, we hope to tackle some of the more resource intensive recommendations: installing UV-blocking film in the City Hall council chambers and Harrison Memorial Library; installing environmental monitoring sensors in collection storage areas; and creating spill kits for collection storage areas.

Staff Report
November 3, 2025
CONSENT AGENDA (Estimated time - 5 min)
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY: Rob Culver, Public Works Superintendent
APPROVED BY: Chip Rerig, City Administrator
SUBJECT: Resolution 2025-095 Authorizing an Agreement with Precision Concrete Cutting for Citywide Sidewalk Offset Shaving in an amount not to exceed $173,804.

RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Resolution 2025-095 authorizing an agreement with Precision Concrete Cutting for Citywide Sidewalk Offset Shaving in an amount not to exceed $173,804.

BACKGROUND / SUMMARY:

In June 2025, Carmel Public Works entered into a Professional Service Agreement with Precision Concrete Cutting (PCC) for the inspection survey and documentation of uneven sidewalks into DataWorks, a proprietary sidewalk condition and repair software program which enables the City to maintain a long-term sidewalk condition database for budgeting, planning, and tracking repairs which pose a potential hazard to pedestrians.

Uneven sidewalks caused by ground settling and tree roots cause a potential hazard to pedestrians. Displaced sidewalks cause problems for both public and private entities in the form of trip and fall liability exposure.

The inspection survey, completed in August 2025, resulted in 1,426 concrete offsets equaling 6,572 lineal feet, ranging from 1/4 of an inch to 2 inches.

Staff recommends that City Council adopt the attached Resolution (Attachment 1) authorizing an agreement with Precision Concrete Cutting (PCC), a sole-source provider of sidewalk shaving services for an amount not to exceed $173,804 for the shaving of 1,426 offsets (Proposal included as Attachment 2). PCC utilizes a

Page 96 of 387 ends

horizontal saw-cutting method that removes vertical offsets between ¼” and 2" while preserving the integrity of the concrete. This approach is cleaner, more efficient, and significantly more cost-effective than traditional remove-and-replace (R&R) methods.

FISCAL IMPACT:

In June 2025, Public Works entered into a Professional Service Agreement with Precision Concrete Cutting for a sidewalk inspection survey in the amount of $12,420.

In October 2025, Precision Concrete Cutting provided a proposal for the shaving of 1,426 sidewalk offsets for an amount not to exceed $173,804.

PRIOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION:

At the June 3rd, 2025 Council meeting, Council approved the FY 2025/26 Capital Improvement Plan which included an appropriation of $500,000 for sidewalk repairs.

PROPOSAL FOR "NOT To EXCEED" AGREEMENT BETWEEN

THE CITY OF CARMEL BY THE SEA AND PRECISION CONCRETE CUTTING (PCC)

OVERVIEW
Uneven sidewalks caused by ground settling and tree roots cause a potential hazard to pedestrians.

Displaced sidewalks cause problems for both public and private entities in the form of trip and fall liability exposure.

It is proposed that the City of Carmel by the Sea and PCC enter into an agreement whereby PCC will assess, and repair sidewalks (horizontal concrete saw cutting) as identified and requested by City staff. The price for these services shall not exceed the dollar amount and quantity defined in the "Proposal Detail" section below.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON PRECISION CONCRETE CUTTING
PCC has been assessing and repairing sidewalks since 1990. The company performs work throughout the United States and with dozens of cities in California.

PCC is the leader in sidewalk asset management. We specialize in assessing sidewalk infrastructure and repairing uneven sidewalks. Our unique saw-cutting method for correcting off-set sidewalk panels leaves behind ADA compliant results for a fraction of the cost of new concrete. Our clients benefit from detailed GIS maps that allow them to create a GIS database to effectively manage their sidewalk infrastructure.

ASSESSMENT SERVICES
PCC technicians will walk every panel in the project area and visually assess potential tripping hazards and damage. PCC will provide a GIS compatible report that list each location identified including a photo, exact location, off-set height and square foot amount for replacement locations.

PROPRIETARY MOBILE PHONE SOFTWARE
PCC has developed proprietary mobile software useable across multiple platforms (Android, iPhone, iPad, Smart Phone, etc.)
• Provides GPS Coordinates -Integrates with GIS systems • Mapping - Provides detailed location data plotted with Google Maps • Detailed Reporting - Provides specific and detailed data on measurements for every trip hazard • Addresses - The software gives the address and longitude/ latitude of each trip hazard location • Additional Data - Records other data, e.g. spalling, cracks, replacements or other data you need • Sidewalk Asset Management - PCC offers complete sidewalk asset management Precision Emprise, LLC I CSLB # 1032474 r 417 Harrison St, Oakland, CA 94607 Tel 650-867-86571 Fax 650-240-38661 [email protected] ATTACHMENT 2

Page 99 of 387 ends
Page 2 of 4 ends

PROPRIETARY AND PATENTED REPAIR METHOD
To Date, PCC has been awarded 8 patents by the US Patent and Trademark Office on our trip hazard removal equipment and process. The following is each patent description and number where they can be reviewed on the US Patent office web site -www.uspto.gov

PROPOSAL DETAILS
Contract amount: Total charge for services rendered shall not exceed $173,804 Includes 10% contingency
Shaving Billing Units: Services are billed in "Inch Feet". An inch foot is calculated by measuring the average height of the sidewalk off-set and multiplying this average by the length of the cut. Example: A sidewalk offset on a 4-foot wide sidewalk that consists of a 0.5" rise on one side, and tapers down to a zero rise on the other is calculated as follows:

0.5n +0" x 4ft = 1 inch-foot

LIMITATIONS
PCC removes only those trip hazards specifically requested or approved by customers, and therefore makes no guarantee or representation that areas are free of trip hazards after the work is completed. In addition, PCC only performs certain trip hazard repairs. Among other things, PCC does not remove and replace sidewalk slabs (R&Rs) and does not repair certain ATTNs (e.g. utility boxes). Furthermore, to preserve clients' budget, PCC typically does not perform any repair at and around any sidewalk slabs that require to be replaced. It is our customers' responsibility to provide proper access and PCC assumes no liability for trip hazards that cannot be repaired due to parked vehicles or other obstacles preventing safe and practical access. In such cases, PCC returns once to attempt completion of repairs that could not be completed the first time. Additionally, it is recognized that after completion of the work, the concrete trip hazards may and frequently do continue to move naturally over time due to roots, water, freezing, pipes, and other natural or man-made causes. PCC is not responsible for movement or changes in the sidewalk and is not liable for any related claims, losses, damages or liabilities thereto pertaining.

Precision Concrete Cutting is committed to providing the highest quality service to our customers. Should you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Adopt Resolution 2025-096 authorizing the City Administrator to execute a professional services agreement with Technology Integration Group for Managed Detection and Response Services in an amount not to exceed $92,937 through October 31, 2028.

BACKGROUND / SUMMARY:

The city uses various computer security products to keep our systems and data safe and reliable. We have used services from Arctic Wolf for several years now for what the industry refers to as “Managed Detection and Response”. This service lets Arctic Wolf place proprietary technology on the city’s network that can detect and respond to computer security incidents. We have budgeted for this service.

Arctic Wolf typically sells this service to municipalities through a reseller process and gives pricing based on a cooperative purchasing contract that the State of California receives through a competitive bidding process.

Staff recommends adoption of the attached Resolution (Attachment 1) to authorize the agreement with Technology Integration Group for Managed Detection and Response Services for a total amount not to exceed $92,937 through October 31, 2028. We expect to use these services until at least October 31, 2028.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The City budgeted $30,000.00 for this service and received a competitive quote for an annual cost of $30,978.29, which will require a budget adjustment of $978.29 from other accounts in the IT budget this fiscal year.

ORDERS OF BUSINESS
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY: Marisa Bermudez, HR Manager
APPROVED BY: Chip Rerig, City Administrator
SUBJECT: Resolution 2025-094 approving the At-Will (Unrepresented) Compensation and Benefits Plan in compliance with California Code of Regulations (CCR) section 571 and addressing findings of a CalPERS audit (Estimated time - 5 min)
RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Resolution 2025-094 approving the At-Will (Unrepresented) Compensation and Benefits Plan in compliance with California Code of Regulations (CCR) section 571.

BACKGROUND / SUMMARY:

At-Will (unrepresented) employees are not recognized nor represented for the purpose of collective bargaining over salary, benefits, and working conditions. Historically, the City of Carmel-by-the-Sea (City) has aligned the salaries of At-Will employees with those of represented units based on annual cost-of-living adjustments. This alignment that establishes the pay rate for At-Will positions is critical for recruitment and retention and for avoiding salary compactions, as was acknowledged by City Council through Resolution 2024-069.

Similarly, a few additional incentive-type benefits, such as Education Incentive Pay, have been historically applied to At-Will employees in mirroring represented management classifications. These have been identified as attractive incentives commonly offered by other agencies, but also helped maintain internal benefit parity between our different City employee groups’ compensation and benefits.

The City has historically utilized individual employment contracts with At-Will,

Page 106 of 387 ends

unrepresented classifications. These contracts have included benefits outlined in the LiUNA Management Unit’s labor contract and have simply referenced the labor agreement as applicable. This practice of referencing, rather than formally outlining benefits, creates a direct conflict with California Code of Regulations section 571, which governs reportable compensation for retirement calculation purposes. Moreover, during a recent California Public Employee’s Retirement System (CalPERS) audit, the City’s practice of providing matching compensation and benefits to At-Will classifications without having a formal document that outlines all benefits available to the At-Will classifications was identified as out of compliance with CCR section 571.

The proposed At-Will Compensation and Benefits Plan (Plan) formalizes the application of these additional special compensation items and formally codifies the benefits necessary for CalPERS compliance and basic market competitiveness. The proposed Plan is included as Attachment 2. At CalPERS’ recommendation, the Plan’s effective date will be aligned with the LiUNA Management Unit’s agreement for compliance purposes. However, no part of the Plan will be applied retroactively to At-Will employees.

It is important to note that the proposed Plan does not include all benefits afforded to the represented LiUNA Management Unit in its entirety. For example, while the LiUNA Management Unit receives longevity pay (5% of base salary) after 10 years, certification pay of up to $100 per month, additional waived sick leave usage for medical appointments, 6 months of salary continuation while temporarily disabled due to a work related injury, and up to $600 contribution for flexible spending account/dependent day care, the At-Will classifications do not enjoy such benefits.

This action does not limit the City Council’s ability to determine appropriate compensation and benefits moving forward; it simply formalizes the historical practice of the City into a legally compliant policy to ensure the retirement compensation reporting of our At-Will employees is in compliance with CalPERS requirements and to rectify the audit findings.

Staff recommends the adoption of the attached Resolution (Attachment 1) approving the At-Will Compensation and Benefits Plan (Attachment 2, Exhibit A), in compliance with California Code of Regulations (CCR) section 571. Staff will return to the City Council for authorization if any benefit enhancements are determined necessary for the At-Will classification to remain attractive and competitive both internally and in the labor market.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

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 2025-097 Adopting an Amended Water Allocation Policy for the City of Carmel-by-the-Sea (CMC 17.50.030) (Estimated time - 40 min)
RECOMMENDATION:

Adopt Resolution 2025-097 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. The City’s water management program (Carmel-bythe-Sea Municipal Code Chapter 17.50) requires new allocations to be 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, recommending to the City Council how unallocated reserves should be allocated under a new water allocation resolution. On October 7, 2025, the City Council considered the Planning Commission’s recommendation and made an alternative recommendation on the allocation of water resources. Staff is returning with a revised Resolution based on the City Council’s direction.

Background:

On October 7, 2025, the City Council was presented with a staff report (Attachment 2) detailing the city’s water management program and the policies and regulations

Page 118 of 387 ends

associated with the allocation of water resources. The report also summarized the Planning Commission’s recommendation on the allocation of 14-acre feet of water into various land use categories. The City Council considered the Planning Commission’s recommendation on and after receiving public comment and deliberating, directed staff to return with an allocation resolution that distributes water as follows:
• 3-acre feet to very low and low-income housing
• 3-acre feet to single-family residential, with no water allocation to accessory dwelling units
• 2-acre feet to multi-family residential
• 6-acre feet to remain in unallocated reserves
The City Council also directed staff to return at a date uncertain to discuss potential options for allocating water to accessory and junior accessory dwelling units. Staff has prepared a draft Resolution (Attachment 1) that reflects the City Council's direction.

Additional Information for City Council Consideration
Commercial:

Following the October 7, 2025, City Council meeting, the City received a request from the Carl Cherry Center for 0.029-acre feet of water for two new utility sinks in the proposed reconstructed artist studio. This water is classified as commercial, which currently has a zero balance.

In the October 7th staff report, staff provided a sample of commercial use types and their associated water factors, which are copied below. Office and retail uses have lower water usage than hotels and full-line restaurants. How the water is calculated also differs. The water factor for a hotel is based on the number of rooms, whereas the water factor for a full-line restaurant is based on the number of seats. For office and retail uses, the water factor is based on the square footage of the business space.

The most common request for additional water in the business sector is from new food uses, such as restaurants (full line and specialty), followed by salons (hair/nails).

Restaurants require a conditional use permit approved by the Planning Commission.

Salons are a permitted use and do not require a conditional use permit.

Note: A Full Line Restaurant is defined as a restaurant providing a full line of prepared food and drinks using non-disposable plates, glasses, and utensils for immediate consumption on the site. These restaurants provide table service to patrons of all ages who pay after eating. Takeout service may be provided.

A Specialty Restaurant is defined as a restaurant providing a limited range of food products for immediate consumption on the site. These restaurants provide seating but are not required to provide table service or menus. Specialty restaurants provide, as a primary use, two or fewer of the following lines of foods: pastries and doughnuts, frozen

Page 119 of 387 ends

desserts, candy and nuts, juices, and coffee and tea.

At the October 7th City Council meeting, concerns were expressed about expanding restaurant seating if water was placed in the commercial category. If the City Council wanted to allocate water for commercial uses, restaurants could be excluded by including language in the land-use category description. Staff has provided two options for the City Council’s consideration. Option A includes language in the description excluding full-line and specialty restaurants. Option B creates a separate line item to allow for the separation of water allocations within the commercial category.

OPTION A:

Category #4: Commercial X.XXX af
This category includes construction of new commercial floor space and conversion of existing space to uses with greater demand for water. This category also includes the commercial component of mixed-use projects. Excluded from this category is the creation or expansion of full-line or specialty restaurants.

OPTION B:

Category #4: Commercial X.XXX af
This category includes construction of new commercial floor space and conversion of existing space to uses with greater demand for water. This category also includes the commercial component of mixed-use projects.

Category #4a: Full-Line and Specialty Restaurants 0.000 af For more information on commercial water use, see Attachment 3.

Single-Family Residential:

The allocation of 3 acre-feet of water to the Single-Family Residential category, excluding accessory dwelling units, will facilitate additional fixtures in existing homes,

Page 120 of 387 ends

such as bathrooms. A full bath with the most efficient toilet requires 0.038 acre-feet of water. Below are the number of fixture units and the equivalent acre-feet needed for the highest efficiency fixtures in a typical residential dwelling:

Upgrading existing toilets to high-efficiency models is a common strategy to free up capacity for additional fixtures, whether it's a new bathroom, bar sink, or utility sink in the primary residence, or the addition of an accessory dwelling unit on the property.

Accessory Dwelling Units:

A Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit (JADU), by definition, is the creation of a dwelling unit within the existing floor area of a single-family dwelling. If it does not contain its own

Page 121 of 387 ends

bathroom, it must have interior access to the primary residence to share bathroom facilities. A JADU must also include an efficiency kitchen with a kitchen sink. On its own, a kitchen sink is 2.0 fixture units, or 0.020 acre-feet of water. When paired with a high-efficiency dishwasher, the fixture unit is reduced to 1.5 or 0.015 acre-feet of water.

Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) may also be created from existing floor area.

Examples include an attached or detached garage, or a detached accessory building such as a studio or guest house. ADUs can also be new structures, whether constructed in tandem with a single-family home or added later as a separate attached or detached dwelling unit.

At the October 7, 2025, meeting, the City Council discussed whether the allocation of water to the single-family residential category should be used for accessory dwelling units. Some support was expressed for granting water to ADUs that remain within the site's total allowable floor area. However, the majority of the Council felt that additional discussion was needed and directed staff to return at a date uncertain to discuss potential options for allocating water to accessory and junior accessory dwelling units.

Low & Very Low-Income Housing:

As noted above, a one-bath residential unit with high-efficiency fixtures uses 0.063 acre-feet of water. A two-bath unit uses 0.111-acre feet of water. The allocation of 3- acre feet of water to the “very low and low-income housing category” would bring the total balance in this category to 3.616-acre feet. This could accommodate a variety of affordable multi-family housing options, including, but not limited to:

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 ATTACHMENT 2

Page 127 of 387 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 ATTACHMENT 2

Page 128 of 387 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 ATTACHMENT 2

Page 129 of 387 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.

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.

ATTACHMENT 2

Page 131 of 387 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…
ATTACHMENT 2

Page 132 of 387 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 ATTACHMENT 2

Page 133 of 387 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.

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 ATTACHMENT 2

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 ATTACHMENT 2
