Item 5 - Consider adoption of Resolution 2026-008 adopting a Roofing Materials Policy regarding roofing materials, including but not limited to metal roofs Associate Planner Jake Olander presented the proposed Roofing Materials Policy intended to expand allowable roofing materials, improve fire safety options, and streamline administrative approval for certain reroofing projects, while reserving Planning Commission review for nonconforming proposals.

Councilmembers expressed concerns regarding the proposed color palette, noting that several colors labeled as “earth tones” did not appear consistent with traditional roof materials or community character. Councilmember Buder raised concerns about the lack of clear guidance for applicants regarding which materials and colors would be administratively approvable, and questioned whether the policy provided sufficient clarity to avoid inconsistent interpretation.
ATTACHMENT 2
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
Councilmember Baron raised concerns regarding the inclusion of certain roofing materials and the appropriateness of City Council findings in the accompanying resolution.
Staff acknowledged the concerns and proposed revisions, including refining the color palette, adding clearer “safe harbor” guidance identifying materials eligible for administrative approval, clarifying the policy’s purpose and scope, and revising the resolution language accordingly. Staff also recommended returning the revised policy to the Planning Commission for review prior to bringing it back to the City Council.
Council gave consensus direction for staff to provide additional staff support over the next month to refine the policy, request Planning Commission feedback on preferred guideline versions, and return to Council with next steps.
RECESS
Council took a recess at 7:40 pm and returned at 8:10 pm.
Item 6 - Receive an update on the Design Traditions 1.5 Project, and provide feedback and direction to staff

Mayor Pro Tem Delves emphasized the importance and function of the Design Guidelines for Planning Commission reviews and as a resource for applicants, homeowners, designers, and contractors. He favored the prior draft prepared by consultant Nore Winter and stressed the necessity of Planning Commission involvement and agreement, as they are key to implementation.
Councilmember Dramov acknowledged the Steering Committee draft's value in providing historical context and guiding principles but expressed concerns about its length, organization, and user-friendliness. Councilmembers Buder and Dramov highlighted outstanding issues requiring attention in the guidelines, including fire safety, accessory dwelling units, roof and fencing materials, and recent policy changes like street address numbering. Councilmember Buder proposed setting a firm deadline for the Steering Committee's draft, after which Staff could finalize the document for Planning Commission review and City Council approval.
ATTACHMENT 2
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
Councilmember Baron expressed disappointment that the project has taken four years. He called for clearer project management, a defined scope, increased staffing support, and a realistic timeline for completion. He favored disbanding the Steering Committee, having Staff finish their preferred version of the guidelines, implementing project check-ins with the Council, and providing the document to the Planning Commission for final City Council approval by October.
Mayor Byrne agreed on the need for more project checkpoints and a dedicated project manager to keep the work on track. He said that whichever draft is selected to move forward, Nore Winter’s or the Steering Committee’s, it’s clear that the guidelines must be practical, user-friendly, and consistent with the Municipal Code while maintaining design review flexibility.
Council reached a consensus to direct Staff to take the following actions:
1. Surge Staffing Support toward the Design Traditions 1.5 project over the next month.
2. Solicit Feedback from the Planning Commission regarding their preferred guideline structure and content.
3. Return to the City Council with recommendations for next steps and a proposed path forward.

CONSENT AGENDA
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY: Jane Hogan, Accountant
APPROVED BY: Brandon Swanson, Acting City Administrator SUBJECT: December 2025 Check Register Summary
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the check register for December 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.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The check register summary for December 2025 totals $1,071,225.65.
PRIOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION:
Council ratified the November 2025 check register at the January 12, 2025 special council meeting.

Please provide a full audit log or server backup copy of the file history of the permit inspection log for Permit #240457 available at https://carmel.portal.iworq.
net/CARMEL/permit/601/23182182 from May 1, 2025 until
today December 1, 2025. An entry appears to have been
altered related to an inspection scheduled and completed on 10/10/2025 which currently reads “Main residence and
addition rough framing is complete. Instructed contractor not to cover walls until fire sprinklers have been installed. Ok to continue exterior”. Please investigate how and why changes were made to this record from what was previously in the log under 10/10/25 which noted that the city building inspector had told the contractor not to cover the non-conforming East wall until a decision had been made regarding whether or not this wall had been “demolished”. Please disclose each and every change, addition, alteration and version of the published permit inspection log for the Property.

RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution 2026-009 authorizing a free use day of the Sunset Center for a Garden Club of America Lecture and Book Signing event in the Sunset Center Lobby on March 12, 2026.
BACKGROUND / SUMMARY:
Executive Summary
The Carmel-by-the-Sea Garden Club requests authorization to use one of the City’s annual Free Use Days at the Sunset Center for a Garden Club of America lecture and book signing event on March 12, 2026, to be held in the Sunset Center Lobby (Attachment 2).
Under the 2017 Agreement between the City and Sunset Cultural Center, Inc., the City may use the Sunset Center Theater and lobby for up to twelve (12) full days per fiscal year at no cost, subject to availability. Approval of this request requires the City Council to adopt a Resolution authorizing use of one Free Use Day by the Garden Club (Attachment 1).
Granting this request would support a community-focused educational event hosted by
the Carmel-by-the-Sea Garden Club by waiving the facility rental fee. The event will feature Michael Forsberg, a nationally recognized photographer and conservationist, who will be visiting the West Coast to present to Garden Clubs. Following the reception and lecture, Mr. Forsberg will also give a presentation and book signing.
Background
Founded in 1980, the Carmel-by-the-Sea Garden Club has a long history of civic contribution and environmental stewardship within the City. One of the Club’s first major projects was the purchase and preservation of the property now known as Piccadilly Park, which was saved from development and fully designed and constructed by Club members.
Over the years, the Garden Club has led or supported numerous significant projects, including:
• Garden design and planting at Carmel Middle School
• Restoration of the Cooper Molera Adobe garden in the 1980s • Planting of the City’s Murphy garden
• Three major renovations of the Harrison Memorial Library garden, including accessibility improvements
• Creation of the City Hall garden in 2012, in memory of Constance Ridder • Long-term restoration efforts at the North Dunes, including public education in partnership with a biologist
The Club also provides ongoing community support through annual contributions, such as purchasing poinsettias for the Sunset Center each December and awarding up to $17,000 annually in scholarships to local schools and universities.
As part of its educational mission, the Garden Club hosts monthly speakers. The March 2026 event will feature Michael Forsberg, a Garden Club of America Photography Medalist and conservation photographer. Mr. Forsberg is an award-winning photographer, storyteller, and professor at the University of Nebraska who focuses on conservation education through both classroom instruction and immersive field training.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that Council adopt the attached Resolution authorizing a Free Use Day of the Sunset Center for the Carmel-by-the-Sea Garden Club’s Garden Club of
America lecture and book signing event to be held in the Sunset Center Lobby on March 12, 2026.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The benefit to the Carmel Gaden Club and the community offsets the loss of rental revenue for the Sunset Center.
PRIOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION:
None.

Missy Jensen < Mon, Dec 29, 2025 at 9:40 AM
To: Nova Romero <[email protected]>
Cc: Sasha Swift <[email protected]>, Barbara Davidge BD < > Dear Nova,
Thank you for the reply.
We have Sunset Center reserved through Sasha for March 12.
To: City Council Members
From: Carmel-by-the-Sea Garden Club
Regarding: March 12 Sunset Center Lobby
Dear City Council Members,
The Carmel-by-the-Sea Garden Club was founded in 1980 and the first significant project in the city was to purchase the lot which is now Piccadilly Park and save it from development. All aspects of the design and construction of the public park were completed by the club. In those early years, the club members piloted the Carmel Middle School garden design and planting, the 1980’s restoration of Cooper Molera Adobe garden, and planted the City's Murphy garden.
Since then, the club has completed 3 major renovations of Harrison Memorial Library garden, including making the garden handicapped accessible. In memory of garden club member Constance Ridder, the club facilitated an entire new City Hall garden in 2012. At the North Dunes, the club spent years launching the initial restoration of 5 acres and continues to work with a biologist educating its members and the public about the extensive and successful project.
Annually, the club makes contributions like buying the 24 poinsettias for Sunset Center in December, and gives up to $17,000 of scholarships to local schools and universities.
To educate our members and guests, the club has a monthly speaker and in March we have Garden Club of America Photography Medalist Michael Forsberg, https://www.michaelforsberg.com/, for a reception, lecture, and book signing.
Michael became a photographer to promote his interest in conservation. He is an award winning photographer, storyteller, and professor at University of Nebraska. He is educating young people not only in a classroom but more importantly training them in the field for weeks at a time.
For March 12, we would like to have the Sunset Center lobby so that we could accommodate even more guests for his reception and Carpenter Hall lecture which accomplishes our mission and commitment to the community.
Sincerely,
Program Chair Missy Jensen
President Barbara Davidge

RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution 2026-011 authorizing the consumption of alcohol at the Farmers' Market Third Thursday events in 2026.
BACKGROUND / SUMMARY:
The Farmers’ Market is held every Thursday (holidays and Car Week notwithstanding) from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on Mission Street between Ocean and Sixth Avenues, and Sixth Avenue between Mission and Junipero Streets.
Good Roots Events, Inc. has been managing the market since early 2020 and has done an admirable job making improvements to the Farmers’ Market operation, ensuring that the Village now has a vibrant market at which the community can gather each week.
Third Thursdays
The Third Thursday event in Devendorf Park is entering its fourth year and continues to grow. Third Thursdays take place from March through October and feature Farmers’ Market vendors, artist demonstrations, fun games and activities for children, and music sponsored by Sunset Center. These events attract locals and visitors of all ages and may have a specific theme depending on the month.

Per Carmel Municipal Code section 9.20.020, it is unlawful for any person to drink any alcoholic beverage in or upon any public place within the City. The City Council may, however, authorize exceptions to the code for specific events of limited duration by adopting a resolution.

SUBMITTED BY: Nova Romero, City Clerk, Brian Pierik, City Attorney APPROVED BY: Brandon Swanson, Acting City Administrator SUBJECT: Resolution 2026-013 Adopting a Policy on the Distribution of Tickets and Passes (Estimated time 20 minutes)
RECOMMENDATION:
Motion to adopt Resolution 2026-013 Adopting a Policy on the Distribution of Tickets and Passes
BACKGROUND / SUMMARY:
Executive Summary
The City of Carmel-by-the-Sea does not currently have a formal policy governing the acceptance and distribution of tickets or passes received by the City for use by City officials. In the absence of such a policy, tickets or passes provided to City officials could be considered reportable gifts under the Political Reform Act, even when attendance serves a legitimate governmental purpose. Adoption of the proposed policy establishes a clear framework for compliance with FPPC regulations, promotes transparency, avoids the appearance of impropriety, and ensures consistent procedures for distribution, documentation, and public disclosure.
Discussion
The Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) regulates the distribution of tickets and passes by public agencies to elected officials, appointed officials, and certain designated employees pursuant to the Political Reform Act and Title 2 of the California Code of Regulations, Section 18944.1. This regulation authorizes public agencies to
adopt a written policy governing the acceptance and distribution of tickets or passes for official use.
The purpose of adopting a tickets and passes policy is to establish a fair, equitable, and transparent process for the distribution of tickets or passes received by the City and to ensure compliance with FPPC regulations. When tickets or passes are distributed by an agency in accordance with an adopted policy that complies with Section 18944.1, the distribution does not constitute a “gift” to the recipient, is not subject to the FPPC annual gift limit, and is not required to be reported as a gift on the official’s Statement of Economic Interests (Form 700). The proposed Resolution is included as Attachment
1. The proposed Tickets and Passes Distribution Policy is included as Attachment 2.
Under FPPC regulations, tickets or passes may be distributed by an agency without being considered a gift provided that:
1. The distribution is made pursuant to a written policy adopted by the agency’s governing body and maintained as a public record;
2. The distribution is reported on FPPC Form 802 (Tickets Provided by Agency Report);
3. The ticket or pass is not earmarked by an outside source for use by a specific official; and
4. The agency determines, in its sole discretion, who will use the ticket or pass.
While tickets or passes distributed pursuant to an adopted policy are not considered gifts, FPPC regulations provide that other benefits not included with admission, such as food or beverages, may still be subject to applicable gift limits and reporting requirements.
Section 18944.1 further requires that any tickets or passes be distributed pursuant to a written policy approved by the governing body and prominently posted on the City’s website. At a minimum, the policy must:
a) Identify the public purposes of the agency for which tickets or passes may be distributed;
b) Require that any distribution to, or at the behest of, a City official or employee accomplish a stated public purpose;
c) Prohibit the transfer of tickets or passes except to immediate family members or no more than one guest solely for attendance at the event; and d) Prohibit disproportionate use of tickets or passes by members of the governing body, the chief administrative officer, political appointees, or department heads.
All tickets or passes distributed pursuant to the policy must be disclosed on FPPC Form 802, which identifies the number of tickets or passes distributed, the recipients, a description of the event, the face value, and the public purpose served. The City is required to post Form 802 on its website within forty-five (45) days of the distribution.
If adopted, the City’s policy on Tickets and Passes must be posted on the City’s website within 30 days of adoption, and sent to the FPPC so they may post the link to the policy.

This Policy outlines a fair and impartial procedure for the disposition of tickets or passes by the City in furtherance of a governmental purpose.

Staff Report
February 2, 2026
ORDERS OF BUSINESS
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY: Todd Trayer, Police Chief, Brian Pierik, City Attorney APPROVED BY: Brandon Swanson, Acting City Administrator SUBJECT: Update on AB413 (Daylighting Law), and Discussion Regarding Downtown Speed Limits and Request for Direction to the City Administrator on Whether to Retain a Traffic Engineer to Conduct a Traffic Study (Estimated time - 40 min)
RECOMMENDATION:
The recommendation is that the City Council receive an update on AB 413 (Daylighting Law), and have a discussion regarding downtown speed limits and provide direction to the City Administrator on whether to retain a traffic engineer to conduct a traffic study.
BACKGROUND / SUMMARY:
When AB413 was implemented in the City, former Chief Tomasi was asked to return at a later date with an update on the implementation and its impacts on pedestrian safety, traffic, and parking. This Staff Report provides an update on the initial impacts of AB 413 in Carmel-by-the-Sea (daylighting law) and discussion on AB 43 (speed limits) and seeks direction from the City Council to the City Administrator on whether to retain a traffic engineer to conduct a traffic study.
A. AB 413 (Daylighting Law)
Staff has created an update on the impact of AB 413 over the past calendar year and will present initial data at the Council Meeting via powerpoint. The presentation includes the pros and cons from the perspective of the community related to the decrease in parking, loading zone usage, and the additional stop signs installed in October 2025. At a high level, AB413 appears to be helping with safety downtown as
records show traffic incidents are less concentrated in previously high risk areas.
Some feedback has been received from business operators that the removal of green spaces has impacted their customers. Conversely, some residents have stated that they like having the new yellow zones for quick stops in the downtown core. Chief Trayer will present a more robust update on the outcomes related to AB413 implementation at the meeting.
There will be a recap of AB 413 laws as stated below and how they relate to parking & traffic surveys:
AB 413 amended California Vehicle Code (CVC) Section 22500 by adding subdivision (n) which reads as below (bolded text shows when a City can establish a different distance):
“A person shall not stop, park, or leave standing any vehicle whether attended or unattended, except when necessary to avoid conflict with other traffic or in compliance with the directions of a peace officer or official traffic control device, in any of the following places:
. . . .
(n)(1)(A) Within 20 feet of the vehicle approach side of any marked or unmarked crosswalk or within 15 feet of any crosswalk where a curb extension is present. (B) Notwithstanding subparagraph (A), a local authority may establish a different distance if both of the following requirements are met:
(i) A local authority establishes the different distance by ordinance that includes a finding that the different distance is justified by established traffic safety standards.
(ii) A local authority has marked the different distance at the intersection using paint or a sign.
(2) Notwithstanding paragraph (1), a local authority may permit commercial vehicle loading or unloading within 20 feet of the vehicle approach side of any marked or unmarked crosswalk or within 15 feet of any crosswalk where a curb extension is present if both of the following requirements are met:
(A) A local authority authorizes the commercial vehicle loading and unloading by ordinance and identifies the crosswalk or crosswalks in the ordinance. (B) A local authority has marked the commercial loading and unloading areas with paint or signage.
(3) Notwithstanding paragraph (1), a local authority may permit parking for bicycles or motorized scooters within 20 feet of a crosswalk.
(4) Prior to January 1, 2025, jurisdictions may only issue a warning, and shall not issue a citation, for a violation unless the violation occurs in an area marked using paint or a sign.”
October 1, 2024: There was a Staff Report presented to the City Council by then Police Chief Paul Tomasi (Attachment 1 includes a copy of AB 413, Existing Parking Map, and Proposed Parking Map).
November 5, 2024: There was another Staff Report presented to the City Council regarding AB 413 and the City Council introduced by a first reading Ordinance No. 24- 002. (Attachment 2).
December 3, 2024: The Council adopted Ordinance No. 24-002 on second reading (Attachment 3).
Ordinance No. 2024-002 amended City Municipal Code Section10.36.010 Subsection (C)(1) to read as follows:
“C. Commercial loading zones and combined commercial loading and passenger loading zones shall be indicated by a yellow paint line stenciled with black letters, “Loading Only,” upon the tops of all curbs within such zones, and the combined commercial loading and passenger loading zone shall in addition be marked with a suitable sign.

Curb Painting:
Subsequent to the adoption of Ordinance No. 2024-002, the City painted the curbs red to prohibit parking as required by CVC 22500 (n) within 20 feet of the vehicle approach side of any marked or unmarked crosswalk or within 15 feet of any crosswalk where a curb extension is present.
In addition, the City painted the curbs yellow in the locations listed in City Municipal Code Section10.36.010 Subsection (C)(1) with black lettering reading “Commercial Loading 20 Minutes Only”.
B. AB 43 (Traffic Safety - Speed)
AB 43 was signed by the Governor on October 8, 2021 and became effective on January 1, 2022 (Attachment 4). AB 43 amended several Sections of the California
Vehicle Code and also added Sections relating to traffic safety.
CVC 22358 is one of the Sections amended by AB 43 and now reads:
§ 22358. Decrease of local limits
(a) Whenever a local authority determines upon the basis of an engineering and traffic survey that the limit of 65 miles per hour is more than is reasonable or safe upon any portion of any street other than a state highway where the limit of 65 miles per hour is applicable, the local authority may by ordinance determine and declare a prima facie speed limit of 60, 55, 50, 45, 40, 35, 30, 25, 20, or 15 miles per hour, whichever is found most appropriate to facilitate the orderly movement of traffic and is reasonable and safe, which declared prima facie limit shall be effective when appropriate signs giving notice thereof are erected upon the street. (b) This section shall become operative on the date specified in subdivision (c) of Section 22366.
Section 22358 became effective on January 3, 1996.
C. Carmel Municipal Code (CMC) Chapter 10.12 ( Speed Limits) CMC Chapter 10.12 contains the speed limits which have been codified in the Municipal Code with some streets designated as 15 miles per hour, one street (San Antonio) as 20 miles per hour and a number of streets as 25 miles per hour.
If the City were to consider changing the speed limits for some streets, then an ordinance would be necessary to identify which streets and the corresponding speed limit.
D. Traffic Study
As noted above, CVC 22500 (n), the Daylight Law, allows a City to adopt an ordinance to establish a different distance than specified in Section 22500 provided that the ordinance includes a finding that the different distance is justified by established traffic safety standards.
As also noted, CVC § 22358 (Decrease of local limits), allows a City to adopt an ordinance “upon the basis of an engineering and traffic survey” with a speed limit ranging from 15 miles per hour to 60 miles per hour “whichever is found most appropriate to facilitate the orderly movement of traffic and is reasonable and safe, which declared prima facie limit shall be effective when appropriate signs giving notice thereof are erected upon the street.”
E. Conclusion
In order to conduct a traffic study for either of the purposes specified in CVC 22500 (n) and/or CVC § 22358, the City would need to retain a qualified traffic engineer.
If the traffic study supported reducing the speed limit on certain streets pursuant to CVC § 22358, then it is possible that the speed limit reduction might be considered by the City in evaluating what changes, if any, might be appropriate under CVC 22500 (n) for those streets which could result in additional parking spaces being available if the distance currently painted red is reduced below 20 feet. The traffic study could also include a review of the locations designated for Commercial Loading.
However, the City would need to review the traffic study to determine what options, if any, would be appropriate for a potential ordinance or ordinances pursuant to CVC 22500 (n) and/or CVC § 22358. An intal check estimates costs of a traffic study could start at $15,000 and up depending on the total requirements of that study which would comprise a speed study and potentially a parking /daylighting study.
FISCAL IMPACT:
No fiscal impact for this Agenda item. If the City Council gives direction to City Administrator to retain a traffic engineer to conduct a study, then there will be a fiscal impact depending upon the cost for the study.
PRIOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION:
City Council meetings regarding AB 413 held on October 1, 2024 and November 5, 2024 (first reading of Ordinance No. 2024-002) and December 3, 2024 (second reading of Ordinance No. 2024-002).

Assembly Bill No. 413
CHAPTER 652
An act to amend Section 22500 of the Vehicle Code, relating to vehicles. [ Approved by Governor October 10, 2023. Filed with Secretary of State October 10, 2023. ]
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 413, Lee. Vehicles: stopping, standing, and parking.
Existing law prohibits the stopping, standing, or parking of a vehicle in certain places and under certain conditions, including within an intersection, on a sidewalk or crosswalk, or in front of a fire station. Existing law additionally authorizes local jurisdictions to, by ordinance, restrict parking in certain areas, at certain times, and for certain reasons, and to establish metered parking.
This bill would prohibit the stopping, standing, or parking of a vehicle within 20 feet of the vehicle approach side of any unmarked or marked crosswalk or 15 feet of any crosswalk where a curb extension is present, as specified. The bill would, prior to January 1, 2025, authorize jurisdictions to only issue a warning for a violation, and would prohibit them from issuing a citation for a violation, unless the violation occurs in an area marked using paint or a sign.
By restricting parking in certain areas, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.

ORDINANCE NO. 2024-002
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA AMENDING CHAPTER
10.36.010 OF THE CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA MUNICIPAL CODE BY ADDING SUBSECTION (1), UNDER SECTION (C); IDENTIFYING COMMERCIAL LOADING ZONES TO COMPLY WITH CVC 22500 AND ASSEMBLY BILL 413-THE "DAYLIGHTING BILL"
WHEREAS, on October 2023, Governor Gavin Newson signed Assembly Bill 413 (AB 413) into law, which aims to increase visibility at crosswalks across California; and WHEREAS, AB 413 went into effect January 1, 2024, and enforcement is required to begin on January 1, 2025; and
WHEREAS, AB 413, also known as the “Daylighting Bill,” adds adds subdivision (n) to the existing California Vehicle Code section 22500: Stopping, Standing and Parking, generally prohibiting the stopping, standing, or parking of a vehicle within 20 feet of the vehicle approach side of any marked or unmarked crosswalk, or within 15 feet of any crosswalk where a curb extension is present; and
WHEREAS, AB 413 allows local authority to permit commercial loading or unloading in areas impacted by AB 413 if the local authority: (a) authorizes the commercial vehicle loading and unloading by ordinance and identifies the specific locations in the ordinance; and (b) marks the commercial loading and unloading zones with paint or signage; and WHEREAS, the Traffic Safety Committee (TSC) has analyzed accident data for the City from the past six years and has identified intersections that have the highest probability for pedestrian versus vehicle accidents, determined the number of parking spaces in the business district, and have come up with a plan to convert certain areas into loading zones in compliance with AB 413; and
WHEREAS, on August 28, 2024, the TSC presented the draft AB 413 Parking Plan to the public, and on October 1, 2024, the TSC presented the plan to City Council; and WHEREAS, the proposed AB 413 Parking Plan brings the City into compliance with AB 413 and allows for flexibility based on future needs of the City while limiting the impact on the City’s existing available parking. Future changes to the plan would be made by the TSC, unless required to be made through the City Council; and
WHEREAS, the City Council gave direction to staff on October 1, 2024 to return with a draft ordinance amending Carmel-by-the-Sea Municipal Code Chapter 10.36.010 “Loading Zones” to identify the areas converted to Commercial Loading Zones and to begin implementation of the proposed parking plan associated with AB 413.

D. Passenger loading zones shall be indicated by a white line stenciled with black letters, “Passenger Loading Only,” upon the tops of all curbs in the zones.
SECTION 2. Environmental Determination. The proposed amendments are categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15304 (exemption for minor alterations to land) because restriping of pavement, painting curbs, and related actions to implement the commercial loading restrictions are minor alterations in the condition of land that do not involve removal of healthy, mature, scenic trees. The proposed amendments are also categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15301 (Class 1 Existing Facilities exemption) because restriping of pavement, painting curbs, and related actions are minor alterations of existing public facilities that involve no expansion of existing or former use. Further, none of the exceptions to the use of a categorical exception as set forth in CEQA Guidelines section 15300.2 apply to these improvements. Additionally, this matter does not have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment, pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, because it does not have a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and involves only general policy and procedure making.
SECTION 3. Severability. If any section, subsection, provision, sentence, clause, phrase or word of this Ordinance is for any reason held to be illegal or otherwise invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity shall be severable, and shall not affect or impair any remaining sections, subsections, provisions, sentences, clauses, phrases or words of this Ordinance.
SECTION 4. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall take effect 30 days after its adoption by the City Council of the City of Carmel-by-the-Sea.

WHEREAS, on October 2023, Governor Gavin Newson signed Assembly Bill 413 (AB 413) into law, which aims to increase visibility at crosswalks across California; and WHEREAS, AB 413 went into effect January 1, 2024, and enforcement is required to begin on January 1, 2025; and
WHEREAS, AB 413, also known as the "Daylighting Bill," adds adds subdivision (n) to the existing California Vehicle Code section 22500: Stopping, Standing and Parking, generally prohibiting the stopping, standing, or parking of a vehicle within 20 feet of the vehicle approach side of any marked or unmarked crosswalk, or within 15 feet of any crosswalk where a curb extension is present; and
WHEREAS, AB 413 allows local authority to permit commercial loading or unloading in areas impacted by AB 413 if the local authority: (a) authorizes the commercial vehicle loading and unloading by ordinance and identifies the specific locations in the ordinance; and (b) marks the commercial loading and unloadir,g zones with paint or signage; and WHEREAS, the Traffic Safety Committee (TSC) has analyzed accident data for the City from the past six years and has identified intersections that have the highest probability for pedestrian versus vehicle accidents, determined the number of parking spaces in the business district, and have come up with a plan to convert certain areas into loading zones in compliance with AB 413; and
WHEREAS, on August 28, 2024, the TSC presented the draft AB 413 Parking Plan to the public, and on October 1, 2024, the TSC presented the plan to City Council; and WHEREAS, the proposed AB 413 Parking Plan brings the City into compliance with AB 413 and allows for flexibility based on future needs of the City while limiting the impact on the City's existing available parking. Future changes to the plan would be made by the TSC, unless required to be made through the City Council; and
WHEREAS, the City Council gave direction to staff on October 1, 2024 to return with a draft ordinance amending Carmel-by-the-Sea Municipal Code Chapter 10.36.010 "Loading Zones" to identify the areas converted to Commercial Loading Zones and to begin implementation of the proposed parking plan associated with AB 413.
