6) Direct staff to submit the LCPA to the California Coastal Commission (CCC) for certification.

FISCAL IMPACT: There is no fiscal impact associated with the recommended action.

WORK PLAN: This item is part of the day-to-day operations identified in the Adopted FY 2023-24 Strategic Priority Project List.

OVERVIEW:

On February 7, 2024, the CCC held a public hearing and conditionally certified the LCPA, subject to modifications as outlined in the CCC letter, dated 8, 2024 (Attachment 9). Final CCC certification of the LCPA requires formal adoption of the suggested modifications by the Council.

The City has three options before it regarding the LCPA:

A. Adopt Ordinance No. 519 accepting the LCPA as conditionally certified by the CCC and the MMC corollary amendments. Should the Council take this action it is anticipated that the CCC Executive Director will report the Council's action to the CCC at the next regularly scheduled meeting and certification of the LCPA, ZTA and ZMA will be final.

B. Take no action or reject the modifications. If the Council takes no action, the certification with suggested modifications will expire six months from the date of the CCC’s action and the LCP and MMC will not be amended. Rejection of the modifications will similarly result in the LCP not being amended. 2

Page 3 of 8 ends

Agenda Item # 4.C.

C. Take action to modify the LCPA. If the Council chooses to modify what the CCC has conditionally certified, the Council’s action would be treated as a resubmittal and the LCP amendment process would resume as a new application to the CCC.

Staff’s recommendation is to take action (A), accepting the CCC’s modifications. Should the Council take this action, Staff also recommends taking the additional actions described in the “RECOMMENDED ACTION” section above which will harmonize the relationship between the LCP, the City’s ROW Wireless Ordinance (MMC Chapter

12.XX) and the City’s Non-ROW Ordinance as well as its wireless design standards.

Outside the LCP, the regulations, procedures, and application requirements for the installation of wireless communications facilities are included in two titles of the MMC; 1) Streets, Sidewalks and Public Places (Title 12) for facilities in the public ROW; and 2) Zoning (Title 17) for facilities outside the public ROW. Similarly, two separate resolutions were adopted for the engineering, design and location standards, conditions of approval and basic application requirements for facilities, respectively, in the public ROW and outside the public ROW.

The regulations for wireless facilities in the public ROW were adopted first on April 26, 2021 through a resolution and simultaneously approved via urgency and non-urgency ordinances, while the ordinance and resolution for wireless facilities outside the public ROW were adopted several months later. Now that the CCC has completed its review, Staff proposes to accept the CCC’s proposed modifications so that these provisions of the LCP become enforceable, while simultaneously proposing changes to the MMC to improve consistency between the City’s ROW and non-ROW wireless regulations as requested by City residents. The attached updated Ordinances and Resolutions reflect this update.

Mr. Scott McCollough, an attorney representing a group of Malibu citizens whom City staff has worked with as it developed the City’s wireless ordinances, has provided feedback on the regulations for wireless facilities outside the public ROW. He refers to the below proposed change as the “fix”. The “fix” would edit the resolution for wireless facilities not in the public ROW, Section 5 (Location Standards for All Facilities), as redlined below:

7. The City expressly designates residential zones as disallowed locations. An application other than an eligible facility request seeking to place a wireless facility in a residential zone must demonstrate need through clear and convincing evidence and that there is no technically feasible alternative.

This is a change to the resolution defining non-ROW design standards only and does not result in any further revisions to the LCP or zoning code. This revision has been added to Resolution No. 24-xx. The ordinances show track changes to illustrate to the reader 3

Page 4 of 8 ends

Agenda Item # 4.C.
what changes are proposed compared to the original ordinances. The 2024 resolutions would replace the existing resolutions, Nos. 20-65 (ROW) and 21-17 (Non-ROW).

BACKGROUND:

In 2016, the Council directed staff to update the Wireless Telecommunication Facility Ordinance which was codified in MMC Chapter 17.46 and Local Coastal Program (LCP) Local Implementation Plan (LIP) Section 3.16. The Ordinance updates attempt to address issues that residents, City staff, and others have identified related to the process of proposing and siting new facilities and upgrading existing facilities in the City. The code updates are also necessary to address changes in federal and state law that have occurred since the adoption of the original ordinance in 2003.

On December 9, 2020, the Council adopted non-urgency and urgency ordinances (Nos. 477 and 477U) regulating placement of wireless facilities in the public right-of-way and a resolution (No. 20-65) establishing design and development standards and standard permit conditions for wireless facilities in the public right-of-way. The ordinance was codified into MMC Title 12 (Street, Sidewalks and Public Places). The City followed this action by initiating amendments to MMC Chapter 17.46, LIP Section 3.16 and LIP Chapter 13, to update the regulations and permitting process for WCFs on land other than public right-of-way.

On December 16, 2020, the City hosted a Wireless Update Workshop to discuss and receive comments regarding the City’s existing wireless regulations (codified in MMC Chapter 17.46), relevant regulatory documents, and federal and State law. After the public workshop, a draft of the ordinance was developed. Prior to publication of the draft ordinance, the City staff met with Mr. McCullough as well as the Center for Municipal Solutions (CMS) (the City’s wireless consultant), and the City Attorney’s office.

On March 1, 2021, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the draft ordinance and resolution during which written and oral comments from the public and carriers such as Verizon were received and considered.

The proposed changes are a comprehensive approach to addressing the wireless facilities in the City. The City Council adopted an advocacy plan to commit resources toward the goal of decreasing federal and State interference with local control over matters of direct impact on the health, safety, and welfare of the residents of Malibu.

ANALYSIS:

1. Ordinance and Resolution Features
Requiring a Wireless Permit (WP), Wireless Right-of-Way (WRP) Permit and stricter design standards. The ordinance would amend MMC Chapters 12.02 (Wireless Facilities in the Rights-of-Way) and 17.46 (Wireless Telecommunications 4

Page 5 of 8 ends

Agenda Item # 4.C.

Antennas and Facilities) and establish the requirement to obtain a WP or WRP for all wireless communications facility installations. It also provides, among other regulations, permit and review procedures as well as operation and maintenance standards. WPs and WRPs are split into two categories (i.e., Type 1 and Type 2). A Type 1 WP is required for facilities that are subject to a more compressed review timeline and less discretion (eligible facility requests, small cell facilities, and collocations to existing facilities) while Type 2 is required for all other facilities. These proposals would provide a robust review and are designed to meet the shot clock requirements.

Ability to amend more efficiently. To maintain flexibility in this constantly evolving area and ensure that the City is obtaining the most useful information available, the ordinances authorize the City to publish application requirements on a separate form that can be amended administratively, as needed. The information collected can include demonstrating compliance with FCC standards and fire safety standards.

Local Coastal Program Amendment
The proposed amendments introduce the language from the City’s wireless ordinances (for both ROW and non-ROW ordinances) into the LCP, and also introduces changes to LIP Chapter 13 in light of new federal and State law and to ensure compliance with the shot clock requirements. These include a coastal development permit exemption for eligible facilities requests, a de minimis waiver for small cell facilities and an administrative coastal development permit for all other wireless communications facilities. Other amendments include coastal development permit exemptions for the replacement of utility poles when required for public safety and for temporary wireless facilities required for facilities that are damaged or destroyed as a result of a natural disaster. The exemption for the replacement of utility poles would permit the replacement of existing poles that are deteriorated and/or overburdened and need to be replaced to meet current CPUC safety standards.

Summary of Proposed Changes:

LCPA (LIP Chapter 3.16)
- Definitions added in LIP Section 2.2 referencing updated language applicable to wireless facilities;
- LIP Section 3.16.2 permit requirements language changed from WPs and WRPs to coastal development permit (CDP) for LIP consistency; - Modified general standards language in LIP Section 3.16.4 per CCC comments; - Added design standards from Resolution Nos. 20-65 and 21-17 into LIP Section

3.16;
- Waiver language modified per CCC comments;
- Removed public notice requirements. Will remain in effect through MMC ordinance. CCC wants City to rely on existing LIP/CDP noticing requirements. - Removed findings. Will remain in effect through MMC ordinance. CCC wants City to rely on existing LIP findings as applicable.

Page 6 of 8 ends

Agenda Item # 4.C.
- Removed proposed CDP exemption language related to eligible facilities requests and minor utility pole modifications per CCC comments.
- Added minor modifications and relocations of utility poles when needed for new wireless facilities and temporary wireless facilities on wheels to the De Minimis Waiver section, LIP Section 13.4.11; and
- Removed exemption for a temporary wireless facility on wheels in the Temporary Event section of the LIP, Section 13.4.9.

Non-ROW MMC Ordinance (Chapter 17.46)
- Added definitions consistent with LCPA;
- Amended general standards for wireless facilities consistent with LCPA; and - Amended Waiver language consistent with LCPA.

Non-Row Resolution
- Added the “fix” as described above to Section 5.

ROW MMC Ordinance (Chapter 12.02)
- Added definitions consistent with LCPA and Non-ROW ordinance; - Created type 1 and type 2 permits consistent with Non-ROW ordinance; - Created Type 1 approval authority via Planning Director and type 2 approval authority via Planning Commission;
- Created type 1 and type 2 appeal process consistent with Non-ROW ordinance; - General standard language made consistent with LCPA and Non-ROW ordinance; - Waiver language made consistent with LCPA and Non-ROW ordinance; - Removed two findings to be consistent with Non-ROW ordinance; and - Modified eligible facilities findings for approval to make them consistent with NonROW ordinance.

ROW Resolution
- Modified Section 8(B)(2)(a) for designs on wood utility poles to read, “Sidemounted wireless facilities shall be of the smallest size technically feasible and shall not project from the pole more than 36 inches. A greater projection from the pole may be allowed if required by another agency for safety purposes.” Previous language was 30 inches, but 36 inches is minimum distance required by Socal Edison for their utility poles. Socal Edison owns the majority of poles within the City’s public ROW.
- Added Section 11, application requirements consistent with the Non-ROW resolution.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21080.9, CEQA does not apply to activities and approvals by the City as necessary for the preparation and adoption of an LCP amendment. This application is for an amendment to the LCP, which must be certified by the California Coastal Commission (CCC) before it takes effect. LIP Section 1 .3.1 states that the provisions of the LCP take precedence over any conflict between the LCP and the City’s Zoning Ordinance. 6

Page 7 of 8 ends

Agenda Item # 4.C.

The Ordinances and Resolutions are also not a project within the meaning of CEQA Guidelines Section 15378, because they have no potential for resulting in physical change in the environment, directly or indirectly. The Ordinance and Resolution do not authorize any specific development or installation on any specific piece of property within the City’s boundaries. Moreover, when and if an application for installation is submitted, the City will at that time conduct preliminary review of the application in accordance with CEQA. Alternatively, even if the Ordinance and Resolution were a “project” within the meaning of State CEQA Guidelines section 15378, the Ordinance and Resolution are exempt from CEQA on multiple grounds. First, the Ordinance and Resolution are exempt from CEQA because the City Council’s adoption of the Ordinances and Resolution are covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. (State CEQA Guidelines, § 15061(b)(3)). That is, approval of the Ordinance and Resolution will not result in the actual installation of any facilities in the City. In order to install a facility in accordance with the Ordinance and Resolution, the wireless provider would have to submit an application for installation of the wireless facility. At that time, the City will have specific and definite information regarding the facility to review in accordance with CEQA. In fact, the City will conduct preliminary review under CEQA at that time. Moreover, in the event that the Ordinance and Resolution are interpreted so as to permit installation of wireless facilities on a particular site, the installation would be exempt from CEQA review in accordance with either State CEQA Guidelines section 15302 (replacement or reconstruction), State CEQA Guidelines section 15303 (new construction or conversion of small structures), and/or State CEQA Guidelines section 15304 (minor alterations to land).

ORDINANCE NO. 518

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MALIBU

DETERMINING THE PROPOSED CODE AMENDMENTS ARE EXCEPT

FROM CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT, APPROVING
AMENDMENTS TO MALIBU MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 12.02
(WIRELESS FACILITIES IN PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY) TO MODIFY

REGULATIONS, PROCEDURES, AND APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS

FOR THE INSTALLATION OF WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS
FACILITIES AND REPEALING ORDINANCE NOS. 477 AND 477U
The City Council of the City of Malibu does ordain as follows:

SECTION 1. Findings
A. The City's public rights-of-way are a valuable resource, and the regulation of wireless installations in the public rights-of-way is necessary to protect and preserve aesthetics in the community;
B. Wireless carriers have submitted applications to install wireless facilities to be located within the public rights-of-way, but more recently carriers have begun to submit much larger numbers of such applications;
C. The City of Malibu is designated as a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. The City was devastated by major fires in 2007 and 2018 due to power pole failures. In each instance the utility structures supported wireless facilities that either initiated or significantly contributed to the ignition.

The 2018 Woolsey Fire, which affected Malibu and other parts of Los Angeles County, consumed over 96,000 acres, destroyed at least 1,643 structures, killed three people, and prompted the evacuation of more than 295,000 people. It was one of several fires in California that ignited on the same day. Malibu hasstill not recovered. The 2007 fire burned 3,836 acres, 36 vehicles and 14 structures, including Castle Kashan and the Malibu Presbyterian Church, and damaged 19 other structures. It is essential that wireless facilities be engineered to prevent fire and withstand fire events as much as possible, and at least in a manner comparable to other commercial facilities with extensive, complicated electronics and wiring and flammable, sometimes hazardous and toxic, materials on site; D. Cities retain the authority to over decisions regarding the placement, construction, and modification of personal wireless service facilities, subject to those matters where that authority has been limited or removed by state or federal law;
E. The unrestricted installation of personal wireless service facilities is contrary to the City's efforts to stabilize economic and social aspects of neighborhood environments, to satisfy health, safety and aesthetic objectives, to maintain property values by not degrading the visual and economic value of adjoining properties, especially in residential areas, and to promote family environments and a rural residential community character within the City to the maximum extent allowed by law. The City intends to exercise its powers to protect its citizens, its right to exercise all available power and right over its own property and regulate the use and occupation of that property, and to regulate public right-of-way use to the maximum extent allowed by law, while nonetheless respecting and adhering to the law as it may be and may change as the result of judicial review, potential state or federal statutory changes or valid rule amendments by the FCC.

_____________________
F. To protect the public safety and welfare, and consistent with the City’s General Plan Section 5.0, it is necessary and appropriate to provide for certain standards and regulations relating to the location, placement, engineering, design, construction and maintenance of wireless facilities within the City's public rights-of-way, and providing for the enforcement of these standards and regulations, consistent with federal and state law limitations on that authority; G. Applications for wireless facilities to be located within the City's public right-of- way were previously processed under the provisions of Chapter 17 (Zoning) of the City's Municipal Code but those provisions were adopted at a time most wireless facilities were being installed on macro sites on land, not in public rights-of-way. Since the City Council last amended the portions of its Municipal Code related to wireless communication facility installations, prior to its most recent amendment which this amendment provides minor adjustments to, significant changes in federal laws that affect local authority over wireless communication facilities deployments in public rights-of-way have occurred, including, but not limited to, the following recent developments:
• On August 2, 2018, the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") adopted a Third Report & Order and Declaratory Ruling in the rulemaking proceeding titled Accelerating Wireline and Wireless Broadband Deployment by Removing Barriers to Infrastructure Investment, 33 FCC Red. 7705 (rel. Aug. 3, 2018) (the "August Order"), that, among other things, contained a declaratory ruling prohibiting express and de facto moratoria for all personal wireless services, telecommunicationsservices and their related facilities under 47 U.S.C. § 253(a) and directed the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau and Wireline Competition Bureau to hear and resolve all complaints on an expedited basis. The declaratory ruling in the August Order was made effective upon release of the August Order which occurred on August 3, 2018; and
• On September 26, 2018, the FCC adopted a Declaratory Ruling and Third Report and Order in the same rulemaking proceeding, 33 FCC Red. 9088 (rel. Sep. 27, 2018) (the "September Order"), which, among many other things, created new shorter "shot clocks" for small wireless facilities (as defined in the September Order), shortened existing "shot clock" regulations to require local public agencies to do more in less time, established a national standard for an effective prohibition related to small wireless facilities and provided that a failure to act within the applicable timeframe presumptively constitutes an effective prohibition. The September Order went into effect in part on January 14, 2019, and in part on April 15, 2019;
• On August 12, 2020, a three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the August Order and significant portions of the September Order, including the shorter shot clocks and remedies for failing to meet a shot clock;
• On October 22, 2020, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals denied a petition for en banc review of the above-referenced panel's decision;
• On June 9 and October 27, 2020, the FCC adopted Declaratory Orders and Reports and Orders providing clarifications and/or rule changes relating to the short shot clock, deemed granted remedy and qualifying criteria for "eligible facilities requests" which are 10 Ordinance No. 518

Page 3 of 16 ends

_____________________
applications for modifications to existing wireless facilities which must be approved by local authorities according to federal law;
H. In light of the FCC Orders and related court decisions, the City deems it to be necessary and appropriate to enact additional standards and regulations, consistent with federal and state law limitations on that authority; and
I. If not adequately regulated, the installation of wireless facilities within the public rights-of-way can pose a threat to the public health, safety, and welfare, including disturbance to the public rights-of-way through the installation and maintenance of wireless facilities; traffic and pedestrian safety hazards due to the unsafe location of wireless facilities; impacts to trees where proximity conflicts may require unnecessary trimming of branches or require removal of roots due to related undergrounding of equipment or connection lines; public right-of-way use conflicts and incompatibilitiesincluding excessive height or poles and towers; creation of visual and aesthetic blights and potential safety concerns arising from excessive size, heights, noise, or lack of camouflaging of wireless facilities, including the associated pedestals, meters, equipment and power generators; reduce property values and/or frustrate Malibu's longstanding efforts to have a rustic, residential and welcoming look and feel and a comfortable, safe community, all of which may negatively impact the City and its citizens.

17 Ordinance No. 518

Page 10 of 16 ends

_____________________
B. Regulations. The wireless regulations and decisions on applications for placement of wireless facilities in the ROW shall, at a minimum, ensure that the requirements of this section are satisfied, unless a waiver is granted by the Director or Hearing Officer pursuant to Section 12.02.050(CE).

D. Minimum Standards. Wireless facilities shall be installed and modified in a manner that does not incommode the public use of the ROW, in that it minimizes risks to public safety, avoids placement of aboveground facilities in underground areas, avoids installation of new support structures or equipment cabinets in the public rights-of-way, makes facilities stealth by using concealment elements, and otherwise maintains the integrity and character of the neighborhoods and corridors in which the facilities are located; ensures that installations are subject to periodic review to minimize the intrusion on the rights of way; and ensures that the City bears no risk or liability as a result of the installations, and that such use does not inconvenience the public or cause personal or economic harm, interfere with the primary uses of the rights-of-way, or hinder the ability of the City or other government agencies to improve, modify, relocate, abandon, or vacate the public rights of way or any portion thereof, or to cause the improvement, modification, relocation, vacation, or abandonment of facilities in the rights of way.

B. Engineering Design and Location Standards. All applicants shall engineer, design and locate the wireless facilities in accordance with the standards and wireless regulations set forth separately through the resolution adopted by the City Council.

C. Waivers of Development Standards. Requests for waivers from any requirement development standards of this Chapter shall be made in writing to the Director. a. The Director or Hearing Officer may grant a request for waiver. A waiver may be requested:
(a) to avoid a denial of an application that would, within the meaning of federal law, prohibit or effectively prohibit the provision of personal wireless services, or otherwise violate applicable laws or regulations; or (b) if compliance with a development standard would be technically infeasible; or (c) if the particular engineering, design, or location proposed involves only minor non-compliance with a development standard. only if it is demonstrated through clear and convincing evidence that denial of an application would, within the meaning of federal law, prohibit or effectively prohibit the provision of personal wireless services, or otherwise violate applicable laws or regulations. All waivers approved pursuant to this subsection shall be (1) granted only on a case-by-case basis, and (2) narrowlytailored so that the requirements of this Chapter are waived only to the minimum extent required to avoid the prohibition or violation.
b. All waivers approved pursuant to this subsection shall only be granted on a case-by-case basis based on substantial evidence if the decision-maker affirmatively finds (as applicable):
(a) for a waiver requested under 1(a), that denial based on strict adherence to the standard would, within the meaning of federal law, prohibit or effectively prohibit the provision of personal wireless services, or otherwise violate applicable laws or regulations, and the standard is waived only to the minimum extent required to avoid the prohibition or violation; (b) for a waiver requested under 1(b), that compliance with a standard of this Section 2-4 would be technically infeasible and the proposed wireless facility complies with the requirements of this Section to the greatest extent technically feasible; (c) for a waiver requested under 1(c), that such non-compliance is minor but either results in no increase in visual harms to the community or provides other benefits, and failure to adhere to the 18 Ordinance No. 518

Page 11 of 16 ends

standard in the specific instance will not increase the visibility of the facility and will not decrease public safety, and will not result in greater impact to coastal resources including sensitive habitat, coastal waters, and public access.

Section 12.02.060. Applications.

A. Applicants shall submit applications on the forms and in the manner approved by the Planning Director. In addition to providing all required fees, all wireless communications facility carriers or providers shall provide the information required by a separate application form published, and updated from time to time, by the City. If no such form is available, then the applicant must submit all documents, information, and any other materials necessary to allow the City to make required findings and ensure that the proposed facility will comply with applicable laws and not endanger the public health, safety, or welfare. The Director may waive certain submittal requirements if prohibited by applicable law or require additional information based on the characteristics of specific projects. Submission. Unless the wireless regulations provide otherwise, applicant shall submit a paper copy and an electronic copy of any application, amendments, or supplements to an application, or responses to requests for information regarding an application to the Planning Department.

B. Pre-application meeting. Prior to filing an application for a WRP, applicant is encouraged to schedule a voluntary pre-application meeting with the Director to discuss the proposed facility, the requirements of this Chapter, and any potential impacts of the proposed facility. Conducting a voluntary pre-application meeting shall not initiate any applicable "shot clock." C. Public Notice.
(1) Within seven (7) calendar days after an application is submitted to the City, the applicant shall: (1) post notice at the proposed project site in a location near to and visible from the ROW and (2) provide the City with evidence that such notice has been posted. The applicant shall maintain and replace the posted notice as necessary during the entire application review process until the Director acts on the application and all appeals have been exhausted. The posted notice shall be composed from durable quality and weather-resistant materials that will not deteriorate under normal circumstances for at least 180 calendar days. The posted notice shall be at minimum 17 inches wide by 11 inches tall.

The posted notice shall not be placed in any location where it would obstruct travel or visibility for vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians or other users in the ROW.

The City encourages applicants to consult with the Planning Department on placement locations to avoid any potential hazards.
(2) Within five (5) business days from the date on which an application is determined to be complete, the Director shall notify in writing of the filing of the application property owners and residents of all property within a one thousand (1,000) foot radius of the proposed project, but in no event fewer than the owners and occupants often (10) developed properties. The purpose of the notice is to inform the surrounding property owners and residents of the filing of the application and provide an opportunity for comment on the application prior to the Director's decision. The notice shall describe the request, provide a map showing the specific location of the proposed project, describe the review 19 Ordinance No. 518

process and timeframes, indicate how to contact the applicant and case planner assigned to the application, and the City-assigned application identifier.

D. Content. An applicant shall submit an application on the form approved by the Director, which may be updated from time-to-time, but in any event shall require the submission of all required fee(s), documents, information, and any other materials necessary to allow the Director to make required findings and ensure that the proposed facility will comply with applicable federal and state law, the City Code, and will not endanger the public health, safety, or welfare. If no form has been approved, applications must contain all information listed in any applicable City council resolution and as necessary to show that applicant is entitled to the WRP requested and must specify whether the applicant believes state or federal law requires action on the application within a specified time period.

E. Fees. Application fee(s) shall be required to be submitted with any application for a wireless ROW permit and with any request for appeal of a Director's decision. At the time of this Ordinance's adoption, the application and appeal fees are set forth in the Planning Department Fees in the City's Fiscal Year 2020-2021 Citywide Fee Schedule, which may be amended from time to time.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no application fee shall be refundable, in whole or in part, to an applicant for a WRP unless paid as a refundable deposit. Simultaneously with an appeal request, an affected resident may submit a request for waiver of appeal fees based on a showing of undue financial burden. If the request for waiver is granted, no fee shall apply. If the request for waiver is denied, the affected resident shall submit payment of the fee within three (3) days after notice of the waiver request has been denied. Failure to timely submit the fee will result in dismissal of the appeal.

F. Incompleteness. Applications will be processed, and notices of incompleteness provided, in conformity with state, local, and federal law. If an application is incomplete, the Director may notify the applicant in writing, and specifying the material omitted from the application. A failure to notify the applicant of any defect or omission does not relieve the applicant of its burden of proof on the merits and the City reserves the right to deny the application if all necessary information was not provided by the applicant.

G. Denials Without Prejudice/Extensions. To promote efficient review and timely decisions, if the applicant fails to tender a substantive response to the Director within 90 calendar days after the Director deems the application incomplete in a written notice to the applicant, the Director may, in the Director's discretion, deny the application without prejudice. However, if the applicant submits a written request to the Director prior to the 90th day that shows good cause to grant an extension, the Director may instead grant a written extension for up to an additional 30 calendar days for the applicant to tender a substantive response.

SECTION 3. Environmental Review.

This Ordinance is not a project within the meaning of Section 15378 of the State of California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, because it has no potential for resulting in physical change in the environment, directly or indirectly. The Ordinance does not authorize any specific development or installation on any specific piece of property within the City's boundaries. Moreover, when and if an application for installation is submitted, the City will at that time conduct preliminary review of the application in accordance with CEQA. Alternatively, even if the Ordinance is a "project" within the meaning of State CEQA Guidelines section 15378, the Ordinance is exempt from CEQA on multiple grounds. First, the Ordinance is exempt CEQA because the City Council's adoption of the Ordinance is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. (State CEQA Guidelines, § 15061(b)(3)). That is, approval of the Ordinance will not result in the actual installation of any facilities in the City. In order to install a facility in accordance with this Ordinance, the wireless provider would have to submit an application for installation of the wireless facility. At that time, the City will have specific and definite information regarding the facility to review in accordance with CEQA. And, in fact, the City will conduct preliminary review under CEQA at that time. Moreover, in the event that the Ordinance is interpreted so as to permit installation of wireless facilities on a particular site, the installation would be exempt from CEQA review in accordance with either State CEQA Guidelines section 15302 (replacement or reconstruction), State CEQA Guidelines section 15303 (new construction or 23 Ordinance No. 518

Page 16 of 16 ends

_____________________
conversion of small structures), and/or State CEQA Guidelines section 15304 (minor alterations to land). The City Council, therefore, directs that a Notice of Exemption be filed with the County Clerk of the County of Los Angeles within five working days of the passage and adoption of the Ordinance.

SECTION 4. Pending Applications All applications for wireless facilities in the public rights-of way or for modifications to existing wireless facilities in the public rights-of-way which were not subject to final action by City prior to the effective date of this Ordinance shall be subject to and comply with all provisions of this Chapter, and any design and placement standards adopted by the City Council by resolution, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

SECTION 5. 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 section, subsection, provision, sentence, clause, phrase or word included within this Ordinance, it being the intent of the City that the remainder of the Ordinance shall be and shall remain in full force and effect, valid, and enforceable.

SECTION 6. The City Clerk shall certify the adoption of this Ordinance.

MODIFY REGULATIONS, PROCEDURES, AND APPLICATION

REQUIREMENTS FOR THE INSTALLATION OF WIRELESS
COMMUNICATIONS FACILITIES, AND REPEALING ORDINANCE NO. 484 The City Council of the City of Malibu does ordain as follows:

SECTION 1. Recitals.

A. On November 28, 2016, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 16-48 initiating Zoning Text Amendment (ZTA) No. 16-005 and Local Coastal Program Amendment (LCPA) No 16-007 directing staff to update the Wireless Telecommunication Facility Ordinance.

B. The City of Malibu is designated as a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. The City was devastated by major fires in 2007 and 2018 due to power pole failures. In the case of the 2007 fire, wireless communications facilities contributed to the overburdened power pole. The 2018 Woolsey Fire, which affected Malibu and other parts of Los Angeles County, consumed over 96,000 acres, destroyed at least 1,643 structures, killed three people, and prompted the evacuation of more than 295,000 people. It was one of several fires in California that ignited on the same day.

Malibu has still not recovered. The 2007 fire burned 3,836 acres, 36 vehicles and 14 structures, including Castle Kashan and the Malibu Presbyterian Church, and damaged 19 other structures. It is essential that wireless communications facilities be engineered to prevent fire and withstand fire events as much as possible, and at least in a manner comparable to other commercial facilities with extensive, complicated electronics and wiring and flammable, sometimes hazardous and toxic, materials on site.

C. Cities retain the authority over decisions regarding the placement, construction, and modification of personal wireless service facilities, subject to those matters where that authority has been limited or removed by state or federal law.

D. The unrestricted installation of personal wireless service facilities is contrary to the City's efforts to stabilize economic and social aspects of neighborhood environments, to satisfy 25 Ordinance No. 519

Page 2 of 35 ends

____________________
health, safety and aesthetic objectives, to maintain property values by not degrading the visual and economic value of adjoining properties, especially in residential areas, and to promote family environments and a rural residential community character within the City to the maximum extent allowed by law. The City should exercise its powers to protect its citizens and its right to exercise all available power and right over its own property and regulate the use and occupation of that property, while nonetheless respecting and adhering to the law as it may be and may change as the result of judicial review, potential state or federal statutory changes or valid rule amendments by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

E. To protect the public safety and welfare, it is necessary and appropriate to provide for certain procedures, standards and regulations relating to the location, placement, engineering, design, construction and maintenance of wireless communications facilities within the City, and providing for the enforcement of these standards and regulations, consistent with federal and state law limitations on that authority.

F. Since the City Council last amended the portions of its zoning code related to wireless communications facilities, significant changes in federal laws that affect local authority over wireless communication facilities deployments have occurred, including, but not limited to, the following recent developments:
• On August 2, 2018, the FCC adopted a Third Report & Order and Declaratory Ruling in the rulemaking proceeding titled Accelerating Wireline and Wireless Broadband Deployment by Removing Barriers to Infrastructure Investment, 33 FCC Red. 7705 (rel. Aug. 3, 2018) (the "August Order"), that, among other things, contained a declaratory ruling prohibiting express and de facto moratoria for all personal wireless services, telecommunications services and their related facilities under 47 U.S.C. § 253(a) and directed the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau and Wireline Competition Bureau to hear and resolve all complaints on an expedited basis. The declaratory ruling in the August Order was made effective upon release of the August Order which occurred on August 3, 20 I 8; • On September 26, 2018, the FCC adopted a Declaratory Ruling and Third Report and Order in the same rulemaking proceeding, 33 FCC Red. 9088 (rel. Sep. 27, 2018) (the "September Order"), which, among many other things, created new shorter "shot clocks" for small wireless facilities (as defined in the September Order), shortened existing "shot clock" regulations to require local public agencies to do more in less time, established a national standard for an effective prohibition related to small wireless facilities and provided that a failure to act within the applicable timeframe presumptively constitutes an effective prohibition. The September Order went into effect in part on January 14, 2019, and in part on April 15, 2019;
• On August 12, 2020, a three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the August Order and significant portions of the September Order, including the shorter shot clocks and remedies for failing to meet a shot clock; 26 Ordinance No. 519

Page 3 of 35 ends

____________________
• On October 22, 2020, the Ninth Circuit Comi of Appeals denied a petition for en banc review of the above-referenced panel's decision;
• On June 9 and October 27, 2020, the FCC adopted Declaratory Orders and Reports and Orders providing clarifications and/or rule changes relating to the short shot clock, deemed granted remedy and qualifying criteria for "eligible facilities requests" which are applications for modifications to existing wireless communications facilities which must be approved by local authorities according to federal law;
• In April, 2018 and January, 2021 the FCC adopted Declaratory Rulings preempting municipal ordinances in Philadelphia and Chicago that regulated satellite dishes by prohibiting placement of satellite dishes in locations visible to adjacent streets, imposing installer certification and imposing removalrequirements, underthe overthe-air reception devices ("OTARD") rule; and • On January 7, 2021 the FCC adopted a Repo1i and Order amending the OTARD rule to now allow fixed wireless providers to install hub or relay antennas on one property that can provide service to nearby properties so long as the antenna serves a customer on whose premises it is located.

G. In light of the FCC Orders and related court decisions, the City deems it to be necessary and appropriate to enact additional standards and regulations, consistent with federal and state law limitations on that authority.

H. Considering that the FCC Orders are already in effect or will go into effect in early 2021, if the City does not amend the Malibu Municipal Code (MMC), there is a risk that the City may not be able to enforce provisions of its MMC or comply with the new federal regulations.

I. If not adequately regulated, the installation of wireless communications facilities within the City can pose a threat to the public health, safety, and welfare; traffic and pedestrian safety hazards due to the unsafe location and placement of wireless communications facilities; impacts to trees where proximity conflictsmay require unnecessary trimming of branches or require removal of roots due to related undergrounding of equipment or connection lines; creation of visual and aesthetic blights and potential safety concerns arising from improper design or excessive size, heights, noise, or lack of camouflaging of wireless communications facilities, including the associated pedestals, meters, equipment and power generators; reduce property values and/or frustrate Malibu's longstanding effo1isto have a rustic,residential and welcoming look and feel and a comfortable, safe community, all of which may negatively impact the City and its citizens.

J. On December 9, 2020, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing on an urgency ordinance, a regular ordinance, and a design standards and standard permit conditions resolution for wireless communications facilities in the public right-of-way. The City Council reviewed and considered the staff report, written reports, public testimony, and other information in the record and: (1) adopted the urgency ordinance and resolution; and (2) approved the regular ordinance and directed staff to schedule second reading and adoption for January 11, 2021. 27 Ordinance No. 519

SECTION 2. Environmental Review.

Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21080.9, the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) does not apply to activities and approvals by the City as necessary for the preparation and adoption of an LCP amendment. This application is for an amendment to the LCP, which must be ce1tified by the CCC before it takes effect. LCP Local Implementation Plan (LIP) Section 1 .3.1 states that the provisions of the LCP take precedence over any conflict between the LCP and the City's Zoning Ordinance. In order to prevent an inconsistency between the LCP and the City's Zoning Ordinance, if the LCP amendment is approved, the City must also approve the corollary amendment to the Zoning Ordinance. This amendment is necessary for the preparation and adoption of the LCPA and because they are entirely dependent on, related to, and duplicative of, the exempt activity, they are subject to the same CEQA exemption.

This Ordinance is not a project within the meaning of CEQA Guidelines Section 15378, because it has no potential for resulting in physical change in the environment, directly or indirectly. The Ordinance does not authorize any specific development or installation on any specific piece of property within the City's boundaries. Moreover, when and if an application for installation is submitted, the City will at that time conduct preliminary review of the application in accordance with CEQA. Alternatively, even if the Ordinance was a "project" within the meaning of State CEQA Guidelines section 15378, the Ordinance is exempt from CEQA on multiple grounds. First, the Ordinance is exempt because the City Council's adoption of the Ordinance would be covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. (State CEQA Guidelines, § 15061(b)(3)). That is, approval of the Ordinance would not result in the actual installation of any facilities in the City. In order to install a facility in accordance with this Ordinance, the wireless provider would have to submit an application for installation of the wireless communicationsfacility. At that time, the City will have specific and definite information regarding the facility to review in accordance with CEQA. And, in fact, the City will conduct a preliminary review under CEQA at that time. Moreover, in the event that the Ordinance is interpreted so as to permit installation of wireless communications facilities on a particular site, the installation would be exempt from CEQA review in accordance with State CEQA Guidelines section 15302 (replacement or reconstruction), State CEQA Guidelines section 15303 (new construction or conversion of small structures), and/or State CEQA Guidelines section 15304 (minor alterations to land). The City Council, therefore, determines that the proposed ordinance is exempt from CEQA.

SECTION 3. Zoning Text Amendment and Findings.

A. The subject ZTA is consistent with the objectives, policies, general land uses and programs specified in the General Plan. The proposed amendment serves to enhance the Malibu General Plan Mission Statement, protect public safety and preserve Malibu's natural and cultural resources. The following General Plan policies and implementation measures would be advanced as part of this Ordinance:
• Policy 1.1.2: The City shall minimize the risk of loss from fire. • Policy 1.1.3: The City shall reduce the amount of non-essential toxic and hazardous substances.
• Implementation Measure 2: Work with other agencies to ensure effective and efficient fire suppression, prevention and rescue services. 29 Ordinance No. 519

Page 6 of 35 ends

____________________
• Implementation Measure 11: Develop guidelines and standards for all new and remodel structures to utilize fire-resistant building materials and designs, and, if feasible, to be sited to minimize fire hazards.
• Implementation Measure 19: Regulate the transport, storage and use of toxic and hazardous materials.

B. The City Council held a public hearing, reviewed the subject ZTA for compliance with the City of Malibu General Plan, MMC and LCP, and finds that the proposed ZTA is consistent with the same and hereby amends the Malibu Municipal Code as set forth in Exhibit A.

SECTION 4. Local Coastal Program Amendment and Findings. Based on evidence in the whole record, the City Council hereby finds that the proposed LCPA meets the requirements of and is in compliance with the policies and requirements of Chapter 3 of the California Coastal Act as follows and hereby amends the LCP local implantation plan as set forth in Exhibit B:

A. The amendments to the LCP meet the requirements of, and are in conformance with the goals, objectives and purposes of the LCP. Updated standards and regulations specific to wireless communications facilities ensure compliance with federal and State law while maintaining design and safety standards in the City's jurisdiction of the Coastal Zone which advance the overarching goals of protecting coastal resources. This Ordinance advances the following LCP policies:
• Policy 4.2: All new development shall be sized, designed and sited to minimize risks to life and property from geologic, flood, and fire hazard. • Policy 4.45: New development shall minimize risks to life and property from fire hazard through:
b. Siting and designing development to avoid hazardous locations; and d. Use of appropriate building materials and design features to insure the minimum amount of required fuel modification.

B. As a part of the LIP, the updated wireless communications facility standards and process ensures that wireless communicationsfacilities within the City conform to applicable LCP policies, goals, and provisions, while taking into consideration the protection and enhancement of visual resources, public access, and recreation opportunities.

SECTION 5. Effective Date In accordance with California Government Code section 36937, this Ordinance shall become effective on the 30th day following its passage and adoption, except for the amendment to the Local Coastal Program.
