PUBLIC APPEARANCE (EVE)

16. 1st Reading by Title Only of an Ordinance to Establish a Rental Inventory and Requiring Registration of All Residential Rental Properties within the City of Monterey Beginning January 1, 2024 (Not a Project under CEQA per Article 20, Section 15378 and under General Rule Article 5, Section 15061)
Action: Passed ordinance to print as amended:
 To change the pass-through language to reflect that 50% of the registration fee is payable by landlord and 50% of the fee is payable by tenant (an edit to Section 8-

2.03(C));
 That, to the extent feasible, the 50% pass through charge to the tenant will be itemized on a rental invoice/statement (a new requirement to be added to Section 8-2.03(C));
 To exempt ADUs, JADUs, and owner-occupied properties from the registration fee (an edit to Section 8-2.03(D)); and
 That the ordinance shall not be enforceable criminally (no infraction or a misdemeanor charges) (Section 8-02.05(A) to be deleted and section (B) revised) (4-1, Councilmember Smith voting no)
Community Development Director Cole gave the staff presentation about the ordinance establishing a rental inventory (also known as a rental registry) and answered Councilmembers' questions together with City Attorney Davi and Nazanin Salehi, outside counsel with Goldfarb & Lipman LLP.

Public comment in opposition to the item was received from: An unidentified man who called for people to run for office against the Mayor and Council; Adam Pinterits, of Monterey County Association of Realtors, who suggested that if the ordinance must go forward that the Council require registration from the owner or property manager but not both, and make disclosure of rent and occupancy status optional; Kathy Nolan, citing that property values would decline and the existence of unanswered questions; Charlaine Carter, who stated that the matter was undemocratic and expressed concerns about reporting vacancies; Kathryn Avila, who said that tenants are overwhelmingly against a rental inventory and asked Council to remove the program's misdemeanor penalty and limit its administrative oversight; Kathy Anderson, who asserted that people who were not property owners should not weigh in on the matter; Kevin Dayton, of the Monterey Peninsula Chamber of Commerce, who expressed concerns about privacy and suggested a rental survey instead; L.K. Samuels, who said the proposed registry was fascist and would take away individuals' property rights; Charles Carter, who expressed concern about the costs incurred by the city and made accusations about Councilmembers who were not originally from Monterey; Richard Barnard, who said that the proposed registry would fail to provide one more rental unit or lower the cost of rentals and asked the Council to find ways to encourage development; Nancy Soule, who said the proposed registry was bureaucracy that would discourage owners and developers from wanting to invest in more housing, and instead suggested a mailing via County assessor to gather information on the rental market; Kathy, who said that local landlords' concerns were not being heard; Monica Lal, who urged the Council to listen to genuine concerns being expressed; Mike Avila, who said data showed that rent control had a negative impact on the housing market and encouraged Council Council Regular Meeting, 9/19/2023, Item No. 2., Item Page 6, Packet Page 16 City Council Minutes September 5, 2023
7 to streamline processes and not focus time on a registry; Arlene Hardenstein, who expressed concern about the ordinance containing enforcement and a lack of collaboration; Jeannie Ferrara, who said a registry would deter investors and would deter homeowners from adding ADUs; Jeff Davi, who said a registry would not solve the problem, citing privacy concerns, and suggested a sunset clause; Nelson Vega, who claimed the proposed registry was a step toward rent control and asserted that there would be unintended consequences such as increased rents and reduced rentals; Becky Jones, who expressed concern about safety if vacancies are published; Tom Reeves, who discussed renting to elderly family members and asked how a landlord would unregister; Graziella Cardinalli, who said the registry would lead to rent control and was punitive and authoritarian; Jan Leasure, who suggested instead registering potential housing, vacant lots, and commercial properties with mixed-use potential; Lori Mazzuca, who stated that renters are concerned that the registry would not help renters; and Kathleen, who said that the Council should listen to the public, who she said were against the registry.

Public comment in support of the item was received from Esther Malkin, who stated that it was unfair to categorize the Council as not listening to its constituents and noted that the City had many renters who did not speak at this meeting, citing potential repercussions.

The Council recessed at 8:50 p.m. and reconvened at 9:05 p.m.

The Council discussed the matter. Appreciation was expressed for both renters and property owners and the Council shared their experiences being both. Interest was expressed in incentivizing landlords and property managers. On question from the Council, City Manager Uslar said that the proposed 100% passthrough was intended to recognize that landlords would pass the cost along anyway, and he estimated that the cost of registration could range from $30-80 per year. It was stated by the Council that the accusations of fascism were an extremist ideological politicization of what the Council was trying to accomplish. It was stressed that the rental market was a business market and that every other business sector was subject to government regulation and both competition and visibility of pricing. It was asserted that having a rental inventory would equalize the landlord-tenant power differential and that capitalism worked best when information was widely available, because it promoted fair competition and good decision making. It was noted that rent price information was already publicly available in advertisements and media platforms. It was agreed that a registry would not solve housing problems but noted that it wasn't meant to do that -- it was meant to find where the market was having negative impacts, and also positive impacts, so that the City could determine how to help residents have a better quality of life. It was requested that the inventory be designed in a way to see historically what the rent for a unit was when first registered and how/if the rent had increased. Regarding comments made by landlords threatening to sell or vacate their rentals, it was noted that the Council did not know that they wouldn't sell anyway, and that properties were already going unused currently without a registry.

In opposition to a registry, it was stated by Council that a better way to assist renters who struggled would be to assist with the initial rental deposit. It was asserted that what goes on between a landlord and a tenant was nobody's business. It was stated that renters had addressed the Council at the last meeting on the subject and spoken against a registry. It was stated that the Monterey County Property Owners Assocation could assist with gathering data and that a registry was overbureaucratic and unnecessary. It was stated that the City’s priority should be getting the peninsula released from the water cease and desist order because without that the City would never get the housing units it needs. It was questioned what the purpose would be of gathering rental data.

Gathering rental data was stated to have the valuable purpose of getting a snapshot of the rental situation in Monterey. It was noted that landlords in the room had mentioned other Council Regular Meeting, 9/19/2023, Item No. 2., Item Page 7, Packet Page 17 City Council Minutes September 5, 2023
8 landlords who abuse eviction laws or raise rents above state limits, and it was stated that a registry would let the City know with certainty from year to year what the average rent is and how much it has gone up, which could inform other decisions.

It was stated by the Council that the public had made good suggestions for amendments to the ordinance, including removing the misdemeanor penalty, requiring either the owner or property manager to report rental information but not both, and the idea of a sunset clause. A service that was proposed was to offer sample lease agreements to landlords. Potential additional exemptions from registration fees that were suggested were: ADUs, JADUs, owner-occupied properties, home-sharing, and "mom and pop" operations that own a small number of units. It was suggested that registry fees should be passed through at 50% instead of 100% since both landlords and tenants would stand to benefit, and that the 50% pass-through should appear as a distinct and separate line item instead of being combined into the total rent.

It was stated that the Council could not forget about renters in meetings like this, that landlords were taking advantage of tenants, and that it would be wrong to ignore consitituents and neighbors who live in Monterey and not treat them as equals. It was stated that one could respect property rights while recognizing that property rights are not the only rights -- and that housing was a human right. It was stated that the voices of landlords had been strong in this conversation, and that while some renter voices had been heard, there had not been as many as could have been, and that retaliation was a fear.

On question from Council, City Attorney Davi and Ms. Salehi provided context and explanations regarding fines and penalties and the definitions of rent and rental unit.

The Council discussed the matter of how many units should be considered a "mom and pop" for potential exemption. It was expressed that the goal was to collect as much data as possible. It was noted that someone could have one owner-occupied unit on their lot and still rent other units. City Manager Uslar provided suggestions for exemption language that would not allow abuse, stating that staff recommended an exemption could apply to multiple units on one property (i.e. the property owner plus a maximum of three units on the same property).

The Council discussed components to a potential motion. City Manager Uslar suggested wording for the discussed fee exemptions. Ms. Salehi provided input on a discussion around the tenant's 50% passthrough of the registration cost of registering being itemized on a statement.

She explained that in the month that the pass-through is charged, some cities require landlords to send a form that explains the registry program and provides other resources. The Council expressed support for using such a form.

A motion was introduced by Mayor Williamson, and seconded by Councilmember Garcia, to pass the ordinance to print as amended:
 To change the pass-through language to reflect that 50% of the registration fee is payable by landlord and 50% of the fee is payable by tenant (an edit to Section 8-

2.03(C));
 To exempt ADUs, JADUs, and owner-occupied properties from the registration fee (an edit to Section 8-2.03(D)); and
 That the ordinance shall not be enforceable criminally (no infraction or a misdemeanor charges) (Section 8-02.05(A) to be deleted and section (B) revised) A friendly amendment was introduced by the seconder, and approved by the mover, to add that:
 To the extent feasible, the 50% pass-through charge to the tenant will be itemized on a rental invoice/statement (a new requirement to be added to Section 8-2.03(C)).

Council Regular Meeting, 9/19/2023, Item No. 2., Item Page 8, Packet Page 18 City Council Minutes September 5, 2023
9 The Council discussed the motion. In opposition to the motion, it was stated that the Council should move away from this divisive step and use data that was already available. It was stated that the registry would be government overreach.

In support of the motion, it was stated that the Council could do a lot with laws, rules, and regulations, but that it was challenging to remove the reality that property owners had a power imbalance in relation to tenants. It was stated that a registry would allow the City to be more supportive of tenants and have the ability to hold some level of accountability to landlords.

Agenda Report
FROM: Andrea Renny, Public Works Director
Prepared By: Scott Bowen, Engineering Projects Manager
SUBJECT: Accept an Army Project Award and Authorize Budget Adjustments in the Amount of $932,012.56 in the Presidio of Monterey Public Works Fund for the POM B622 Upgrade Fire Alarm System Project Under the Intergovernmental Support Agreement ***IGSA*** (NEPA Not a Project, CEQA Not a Project under (Pub.

Resources Code, § 21080, subd. (a) and Pub. Resources Code, § 21080, subd. (b)(1)))
RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council adopt the attached resolution accepting an Army project award for the POM B622 Upgrade Fire Alarm System Project and authorizing the Finance Director, or their designee, to make the following budget adjustments:

1. Appropriate $932,012.56 in the Presidio of Monterey Public Works Fund to the Presidio of Monterey Unscheduled Maintenance Projects, Option Year 6 - POM account [650- 310-3199-6001-5027], and

2. Increase the Special Project Reimbursement Fees revenue account [650-310-3199- 3658] in the amount of $932,012.56.

VALUE DRIVERS:

Serve as stewards of the City’s financial resources through sound economic vitality efforts, streamlining operations, reasonable revenue enhancements, visionary long-term planning, fiscal transparency, and community partnerships.

In collaboration with our community partners, work to improve the quality of life of all of our community members by fostering diversity, equity, and inclusion; championing equitable access to affordable housing; and maintaining a safe environment.

POLICY IMPLICATIONS:

This action is consistent with the City’s policy to approve all budget adjustments and support the mission of providing project services to the Army through the City of Monterey Intergovernmental Support Agreement (IGSA).

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

The City has received an Individual Job Order award and funding under the City’s master IGSA for the purpose of upgrading the outdated fire alarm system located at Building 622 at the Presidio of Monterey (POM) in the amount of $932,012.56. The requested appropriation of funds is fully funded by the Army through the collection of Special Project Reimbursement Fees. There is no cost impact to the General Fund.

Date: 9/19/2023
Item No.: 3.

Council Regular Meeting, 9/19/2023, Item No. 3., Item Page 1, Packet Page 20 ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

All Army project services provided by IGSA require National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) evaluation rather than California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) evaluation. Under NEPA, the action to appropriate funds does not require a Record of Environmental Consideration (REC).

CEQA applies to discretionary projects (Pub. Resources Code, § 21080, subd. (a)). CEQA does not apply to ministerial projects (Pub. Resources Code, §21080, subd. (b)(1)). There is a recognized policy consideration underlying the distinction between ministerial and discretionary projects.

The purpose of CEQA is to minimize the adverse effects of new construction on the environment. To trigger CEQA compliance, the discretion must be of a certain kind; it must provide the agency with the ability and authority to mitigate environmental damage to some degree. Unless a public agency can shape the project in a way that would respond to concerns raised in an EIR, or its functional equivalent, environmental review would be a meaningless exercise.

Here, the City does not have the power to deny or condition the permit, or otherwise modify the project in ways which would mitigate environmental problems an environmental impact report might conceivably have identified. The City does not have the authority to dictate changes to the Army’s projects’ design or location in response to any impacts that an environmental review might reveal, the City’s authority under CEQA is essentially ministerial and therefore no further environmental review is required by the City.

In some cases, these subsequent discretionary projects may also require environmental determination in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act.

ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:

The City Council could choose not to appropriate the funds. This alternative is not recommended because the City has a contractual agreement to provide project services to the Army at the Presidio of Monterey under the 2023 Intergovernmental Support Agreement. By approving performance of these project services, the success of the City’s partnership with the Army is strengthened.

DISCUSSION:

The City of Monterey provides project management and public works services to the U.S. Army on the Presidio of Monterey, Ord Military Community, and U.S. Army Signal Activity – Camp Roberts under an Intergovernmental Support Agreement (IGSA). These costs are fully reimbursed by the Army and support the City’s ongoing partnership with the Federal government. Throughout the year, the Army modifies its allocation of funding for the IGSA depending on the availability of funds and needs analysis.

The Army has executed and awarded an Individual Job Order (IJO) to replace and upgrade the fire alarm system at Building 622 under the IGSA. The existing fire alarm is outdated.

Components are no longer available which has made it difficult to perform service or replacements to the system. The system needs to be upgraded with new components and brought up to current code standards. The primary objective of this IJO is to replace the existing fire alarm system with an up-to-date system. A comprehensive system testing will be conducted Council Regular Meeting, 9/19/2023, Item No. 3., Item Page 2, Packet Page 21 prior to the new system being activated.

The recommended appropriation of funds will be used for the execution and delivery of the POM B622 Upgrade Fire Alarm System Project within the City’s Presidio of Monterey Public Works Fund. This new project expenditure budget total of $932,012.56 will be fully offset by an increase in Special Project Reimbursement Fees collected by the City from the Army.

This action has no cost impact on the General Fund.

Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution accepting an Army project award for the POM B622 Upgrade Fire Alarm System Project and authorizing the Finance Director, or their designee, to make the following budget adjustments:

1. Appropriate $932,012.56 in the Presidio of Monterey Public Works Authority Fund to the Presidio of Monterey Unscheduled Maintenance Projects, Option Year 6 - POM account [650-310-3199-6001-5027], and

2. Increase the Special Project Reimbursement Fees revenue account [650-310-3199- 3658] in the amount of $932,012.56.

WHEREAS, California is experiencing a housing crisis, with housing demand outstripping supply. Since 2016, the California State Legislature has brought forward several bills (Government Code sections 65852.2 and 65852.22) relating to the planning and permitting of Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (JADUs) to address the housing supply crisis. Over the years, State ADU and JADU law has been revised to improve its effectiveness at creating more housing units;
WHEREAS, on September 27, 2016, the Governor signed into law SB 1069 and AB 2299, the first bills requiring local jurisdictions to amend their zoning ordinances to allow ADUs consistent with this new State law, which took effect on January 1, 2017; WHEREAS, on January 17, 2017, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 3560 to amend its Zoning Ordinance to designate areas where ADUs may be located and place other restrictions, consistent with State law;
WHEREAS, on October 9, 2019, the Governor signed into law AB 68, AB 881, and SB 13 to further streamline ADUs and relax development standards, which took effect on January 1, 2020.

WHEREAS, on October 20, 2020, the City Council adopted Urgency Ordinance No. 3626 to prevent ADUs over 16 feet in height until the Planning Commission had an opportunity to provide policy recommendations. Ordinance No. 3626 also repealed the City’s ADU regulations, which were almost entirely inconsistent with the State law that took effect on January 1, 2020. On December 1, 2020, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 3633, which extended Ordinance No. 3626 until October 19, 2021;
WHEREAS, on November 2, 2021, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 3641 to amend the City Code to include ADU zoning regulations to further reduce barriers, better streamline approval processes, and expand the capacity to accommodate the development of ADUs and JADUs, consistent with State law;
WHEREAS, on May 3, 2022, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 3650 to amend the City Code to be more flexible than State law by waiving lot coverage, floor area ratio, open space, and size regulations to allow a second story ADU above a garage or carport up to 25 feet in height and to allow such ADU to have roof pitch and form that is different than the associated singlefamily dwelling or multifamily dwelling, subject to architectural review; WHEREAS, on September 28, 2022, the Governor signed into law AB 2221 and SB 897 to increase the allowed height of attached and detached ADUs and waive front yard setback limits if they prevent construction of certain ADUs, which took effect on January 1, 2023; Date: 9/19/2023
Item No.: 5.

Council Regular Meeting, 9/19/2023, Item No. 5., Item Page 1, Packet Page 29 2 WHEREAS, Government Code sections 65852.2 and 65852.22 require cities to adopt ADU zoning regulations consistent with the new State law. In the absence of a valid local ordinance, the new State law provides a set of default standards governing local agencies’ regulation and approval of ADUs and JADUs;
WHEREAS, 2015-2023 Housing Element Goal b is to broaden the choice of rental housing types available to residents of Monterey in all price ranges and for all family sizes while maintaining neighborhood compatibility and, where possible, using second units to encourage owner opportunities;
WHEREAS, the amendments are consistent with the purposes of the General Plan, the purposes of the Municipal Code, and other applicable City ordinances; WHEREAS, on December 13, 2022, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing, took public testimony, and recommended that the City Council adopt the ordinance amendments;
WHEREAS, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing on May 2, 2023, took public testimony, and considered the ordinance amendments;
WHEREAS, on June 6, 2023, the City Council approved this ordinance at its second reading. (Ordinance No. 3664.) It was later discovered that the publication of the ordinance occurred on June 6, 2023 and not on or before June 3, 2023 as required by City Charter section

4.4. Therefore, Ordinance No. 3664 is null and void;
WHEREAS, publication of this ordinance has now taken place at least three days before September 19, 2023;
WHEREAS, it is the intention of the City Council to make the effective date of this ordinance retroactive to July 6, 2023, which is the date that Ordinance No. 3664 would have been effective had the publication been timely; and
WHEREAS, the City of Monterey has determined that the adoption of an ordinance approving Zoning Ordinance amendments related to accessory dwelling units implements the provisions of Government Code sections 65852.1 and 65852.2 and is therefore statutorily exempt from CEQA pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21080.17.

Water credits or water entitlements may be available to offset additional demand for an accessory dwelling unit. The adequacy of water is determined by the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District (MPWMD). Verification of water credits from MPWMD is to be submitted at the time of building permit application.

c. State and Local Building Code Requirements. The accessory dwelling unit shall conform to all applicable State and local building code requirements. The new construction of an accessory dwelling unit shall not constitute a Group R occupancy change under the building code, as described in Section 310 of the California Building Code (Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations), unless the building official or enforcement agency makes a written finding based on substantial evidence in the record that the construction of the accessory dwelling unit could have a specific, adverse impact on public health and safety or the accessory dwelling unit is converted from unhabitable or nonresidential space.

4. Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit Development Standards. Junior accessory dwelling units shall conform with the following:

i. A prohibition on the sale of the junior accessory dwelling unit separate from the sale of the single-family dwelling;
Council Regular Meeting, 9/19/2023, Item No. 5., Item Page 8, Packet Page 36 9 ii. A restriction on the size and attributes of the junior accessory dwelling unit consistent with this section;
iii. A prohibition against renting the property for fewer than 30 consecutive calendar days; and
iv. A requirement that either the single-family dwelling or the junior accessory dwelling unit be the owner’s bona fide principal residence, unless the owner is a governmental agency, land trust, or housing organization.

A copy of the recorded covenant shall be filed with the Building Division prior to issuance of a building permit.
f. Parking is not required for junior accessory dwelling units. However, if an existing attached garage is replaced by a junior accessory dwelling unit, each removed parking space must be replaced with an off-street parking space that does not extend into the public right-of-way. If the proposed replacement parking is uncovered parking located in the driveway, the dimensions of the off-street parking space should at least be nine feet by 18 feet and the space may occupy any part of the driveway so long as it does not extend into the public rightof-way and is not located in the front yard setback. g. Junior accessory dwelling units shall not be permitted on a parcel where water or sewer services are inadequate. Water restrictions imposed by the State Water Resources Control Board’s Cease and Desist Order demonstrate existing water sources are insufficient to meet any expansion of water demand and do not satisfy criteria for the adequacy of water and sewer services. Water credits or water entitlements may be available to offset additional demand for a junior accessory dwelling unit. The adequacy of water is determined by the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District (MPWMD). Verification of water credits from MPWMD is to be submitted at the time of building permit application.

5. Utilities and Impact Fees.
a. Except as provided in subsection (5)(b) of this section, an accessory dwelling unit shall provide a new or separate utility connection, including a separate sewer lateral, between the accessory dwelling unit and the utility, unless the applicant has obtained a sewer lateral inspection performed by a licensed plumber demonstrating that the sewer lateral meets the City’s standards and specifications. Proof that the sewer lateral meets the City’s requirements shall be submitted on a sewer lateral inspection form provided by the City and completed by the professional who completed the inspection. A connection fee or capacity charge may be charged that is proportionate to the size in square feet of the accessory dwelling unit or its drainage fixture unit (DFU) values. Separate electric and water submeters shall be required for the accessory dwelling unit, except that separate water meters shall be required for accessory dwelling units if and when California American Water is allowed to connect new water meters.
b. Junior accessory dwelling units and accessory dwelling units converted from the existing space of a single-family dwelling or accessory structure are exempt from any requirement to install a new or separate utility connection and to pay any associated connection or capacity fees or charges, unless the accessory dwelling unit is constructed within a new single-family dwelling.
c. All utility extensions shall be placed underground.

Council Regular Meeting, 9/19/2023, Item No. 5., Item Page 9, Packet Page 37 10 d. No impact fees may be imposed on an accessory dwelling unit that is less than 750 square feet in size. For purposes of this section, "impact fees" include the fees specified in Sections 66000 and 66477 of the Government Code, but do not include utility connection fees or capacity charges.

Agenda Report
№08/22
FROM: Kimberly Cole, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: 2
nd Reading by Title Only of an Ordinance to Establish a Rental Inventory and Requiring Registration of All Residential Rental Properties within the City of Monterey Beginning January 1, 2024 (Not a Project under CEQA per Article 20, Section 15378 and under General Rule Article 5, Section 15061) RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council pass a second reading of an ordinance to establish a rental inventory and require registration of all residential rental properties within the City of Monterey beginning January 1, 2024.

VALUE DRIVERS:

Support efforts and policies that provide equitable access to affordable housing in Monterey and the region.

POLICY IMPLICATIONS
Maintaining and increasing access to affordable housing supports the City’s ongoing housing efforts, including those intended to serve extremely low, very low, and low-income residents.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

As reported in April 2023 at the City Council meeting, staff estimates that a rental registry program will require around $400,000 annually in ongoing costs. The management, administration, and maintenance of a rental registry program will require two additional full-time staff members at a total estimated annual operating cost of $275,000, plus $25,000 for management/supervisory staff time.

Staff also estimates approximately $100,000 in additional initial staff time to develop the program and physically confirm data before launching.

The cost for a specialized rental registry software will be around $25,000 in start-up costs in year one plus an estimated $30,000 annual subscription fee, for a total year-one cost of $55,000. The $30,000 subscription fee would continue annually thereafter.

Since this is a new program, the City needs to create fees to recover the costs for the program.

Currently, Staff estimates that the costs to register and maintain a rental unit within the database will be between $40 - $60 annually dependent on the overall numbers of units registered. It is planned to propose an initial fee and then adjust the fee after one year to ensure the authorized level of cost recovery will be achieved.

Date: 9/19/2023
Item No.: 6.

Council Regular Meeting, 9/19/2023, Item No. 6., Item Page 1, Packet Page 40 The ordinance authorizes the City to collect a Rental Inventory Fee from Landlords for these purposes. However, the Council will have to decide whether to seek total recovery of all reasonable costs of implementation, administration and enforcement of the ordinance via the Rental Inventory Fee, or if it will subsidize some portion of the costs with other City funds.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

The proposed Rental Inventory will not result in any construction or change in the physical environment. The City of Monterey determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (CCR, Title 14, Chapter 3 (“CEQA Guidelines), Article 20, Section 15378). In addition, CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 includes the general rule that CEQA applies only to activities which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Because the proposed action and this matter have no potential to cause any effect on the environment, or because it falls within a category of activities excluded as projects pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378, this matter is not a project.

ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:

The City could decline to adopt a rental inventory ordinance at this time.

DISCUSSION
Background
A draft ordinance was prepared based on the City Council’s April 18th direction. On September 5, 2023, the City Council considered the first reading of the draft ordinance. Public comment was taken. Ultimately, the first reading was passed, by a 4-1 vote, with the following amendments:
 Landlords and tenants will split the cost of registration evenly, with Landlords permitted to passthrough 50% of the Rental Inventory Fee to their tenants.  To the extent possible, the portion of the Rental Inventory Fee passed through to tenants shall be itemized on their rental invoice/statement.
 The City shall create and publish a form that landlords must use to inform tenants of the passthrough and the services to which the tenant has access pursuant to the ordinance.  Accessory dwelling units (ADUs), junior accessory dwelling units (JADUs) and owneroccupied properties where the owner rents or leases one or more bedrooms to a tenant will be exempt from the payment of the Rental Inventory Fee.  There will be no criminal charges (misdemeanor or infraction) imposed for any violations of the ordinance.

City staff has prepared a second draft of the ordinance based on these changes.

Council Regular Meeting, 9/19/2023, Item No. 6., Item Page 2, Packet Page 41 Proposed Ordinance
Based on the feedback received from City Council at the September 5th meeting, the second draft of the ordinance incorporates the Council’s requested amendments as follows:

Subsection (C) of section 8-2.03 of the draft Ordinance was amended to provided that only 50% of the Rental Inventory Fee may be passed through from Landlords to Tenants. In addition, this Section now provides for the creation of a notice form by the City that landlords must provide to tenants from whom they plan to recover a portion of the Rental Inventory Fee. This Section also requires landlords who provide monthly rental statements or invoices to list the Rental Inventory Fee passthrough as a separate line item on such statements or invoices at the time they plan to recover the cost.
“§ 8-2.03 RENTAL INVENTORY FEES
…
C. Rental Inventory Fees Pass-Through. A Landlord may recover up to fifty percent (50%) of the Rental Inventory Fee, excluding any associated penalties, from their Tenants.

1. Notice Required. A Landlord who purports to recover any portion of the Rental Inventory Free from their Tenant(s) shall provide the Tenant(s), on a form created and published by the City, with thirty (30) days’ advance written notice of the dollar amount of the Rental Inventory Fee to be recovered, an explanation of the Rental Inventory Fee and a summary of the services to which the Tenant has access pursuant to Section 8-02.04 of this Chapter.

2. Separate Line Item. To the extent that a Landlord provides a Tenant with a monthly rental statement, the Landlord shall list the Rental Inventory Fee as a separate line item on the rental statement for the month(s) during which the Landlord seeks to recover the Rental Inventory Fee from the Tenant.” Subsection (D) of section 8-2.03 of the draft Ordinance was changed to add two additional exemptions – for ADUS/JADUs/second units and owner-occupied properties – from the payment of Rental Inventory Fees. It is important to note that this exemption is solely from the payment of the Rental Inventory Fees; landlords who rent out these types of units must still register their rental units with the City.
“§ 8-2.03 RENTAL INVENTORY FEES
…
D. Exemptions. This section shall not apply to the following Rental Units:
…

3. Accessory Dwelling Units. Legal accessory dwelling units, junior accessory dwelling units, and second dwelling units, if the primary dwelling is owneroccupied. If the primary dwelling is presently or has previously been held out for rental, then both units are subject to this Section 8-2.03.

Council Regular Meeting, 9/19/2023, Item No. 6., Item Page 3, Packet Page 42

For the purposes of Section 8-2.03(D)(4), definitions for the terms “Owner of Record” and “Principal Residence” were added to SECTION 8-2.02 – DEFINITIONS of the draft Ordinance.

Finally, subsection (A) of Section 8-02.05 of the draft Ordinance was amended to remove any criminal penalties for a violation of any of the provisions of or failure to comply with any requirements of the Ordinance.
“§ 8-02.05 – ENFORCEMENT
A. Notwithstanding Section 1-7 of the Monterey City Code, a violation of any provision of this Chapter or a failure to comply with any of the requirements of this Chapter shall not, under any circumstance, constitute a misdemeanor or infraction subject to the penalties prescribed in Section 1-7 of the Monterey City Code.” In conclusion, staff recommends that the City Council introduce by title only, waive full second reading, and pass an ordinance to establish a rental inventory and require registration of all residential rental properties within the City of Monterey beginning January 1, 2024.

NOW THEREFORE, the Monterey City Council declares as follows:

SECTION 2: The above recitals are true and correct and are hereby incorporated and adopted as findings of the City Council as fully set forth herein.

SECTION 3: The title to Monterey City Code, Chapter 8, is hereby renamed “Housing”.

SECTION 4: Monterey City Code, Chapter 8, Article 1, Sections 8-1 through 8-7 are hereby renumbered sequentially as Sections 8-1.00 through 8-1.06.

SECTION 5: Monterey City Code, Chapter 8, Article 2 is hereby added to read as follows:

ARTICLE 2. – RENTAL INVENTORY
§ 8-2.00 – FINDINGS AND PURPOSE
A. Findings. The City Council finds and declares as follows:

1. The City has a substantial government interest in regulating the relationship between Landlords and Tenants to increase certainty, stability and fairness within the rental market.

2. The Ordinance codified in this Article is being adopted pursuant to the City’s police power authority to protect the public health, safety, and welfare.

B. Purpose.

The purpose of this Article is to adopt regulations for Landlords to register their rental units and provide other information to the City on an annual basis. The registration process will allow the City to collect, monitor and analyze the characteristics of the rental units and actual rents in Monterey. This data will be available to the City Council to inform future policy decisions about the regulation of the rental market in Monterey. The registration fees collected pursuant to this Article will be used to fund the creation and maintenance of the rental inventory as well as to provide services, including referrals to mediation and legal services, education opportunities, and landlord/tenant resources, to Landlords and Tenants in the City. This Article supports the City’s housing goals and protects public health, safety, and welfare for Monterey residents. This Article and its implementation are intended to protect the privacy of individual Tenants and the proprietary information of Landlords, the public release of which could result in a competitive disadvantage.

C. Rental Inventory Information. At minimum, the following information below shall be provided as part of initial and renewal registration of a Rental Unit. Failure to provide information required or providing false information shall be a violation of the Monterey City Code and enforceable as set forth in Section 8-02.05.

D. Termination of Exemption. When a Rental Unit that was exempt from this Article becomes governed by this Article for the first time, the Landlord must register the Rental Unit with the City within thirty (30) days after the City provides notice that the exemption has ended.

Council Regular Meeting, 9/19/2023, Item No. 6., Item Page 9, Packet Page 48 E. Registration Amendment. A Landlord shall notify the City if there is a change to the registration information for any Rental Unit within thirty (30) days of the change.

F. Administrative Regulations. The Community Development Director may promulgate administrative regulations to implement the provisions of this Article.

G. Rental Inventory Database. The City anticipates that Rent Inventory Information will be kept in a Rental Inventory Database. The database containing Rent Registry Information shall be created and maintained such that it can generate reports for the City’s internal use.

1. Public Database. The Community Development Director, or their designee, shall add a publicly accessible portion of the Rental Inventory Database for the purposes of providing the public with information about Rental Units in the City.

d. The occupancy status of each Rental Unit (e.g., vacant or occupied); and
e. For each occupied Rental Unit, the total current amount of monthly rent received for the Rental Unit.

2. Confidential Rental Inventory Information. The City Council recognizes that some of the Rental Inventory Information constitutes Personal Identifying Information (PII) or proprietary information of a Landlord that could create a competitive disadvantage for every Landlord required to comply with this Article. The City Council also recognizes that the Public Records Act (Government Code §§ 6250, et seq.) generally requires that the City make available to the public information in its possession that relates to the conduct of the public's business. The Public Records Act contains several exceptions intended to protect the privacy of individuals and the proprietary information of businesses that is in the City's possession only because of a legal requirement to provide it to the City in connection with a regulatory program. Except for the Rental Inventory Council Regular Meeting, 9/19/2023, Item No. 6., Item Page 10, Packet Page 49 Information enumerated in Section 8-2.02(G)(1) the City Council declares that all other Rental Inventory Information shall be received in confidence, and that the public interest in nondisclosure of such Rental Inventory Information clearly outweighs the public interest in disclosure.

3. Other Reports. The Community Development Director may generate additional reports from the Rental Inventory Information database for the purposes of this Article. Such reports shall be released to the public only if kept in the normal course of City business and only after redacting any Rental Inventory Information that would improperly intrude into personal privacy of Tenants or reveal Landlord proprietary information that could result in a competitive disadvantage.

4. Legal Disclosure Required. The Community Development Director, in consultation with the City Attorney, may authorize the release of other Rental Inventory Information that would be otherwise confidential if they determine that the release is legally required or the public interest in disclosure clearly outweighs the public interest in nondisclosure.

H. Annual Review and Report. The Community Development Director shall annually prepare a report to the City Council assessing the effectiveness of the program established and this Article and may recommend changes based on the findings made in the report.
§ 8-2.03 – RENTAL INVENTORY FEES
A. Rental Inventory Fees. A Rental Inventory Fee shall be imposed annually for each Rental Unit owned by the Landlord. Each Landlord shall pay the required Rental Inventory Fees upon registration of their Rental Unit(s). The City Council shall set the Rental Inventory Fee on a per Rental Unit basis and the fee shall be adopted and integrated into the City’s Master Fee Schedule by resolution of the City Council, as required by Section 19-103 of Article 4 (Fee and Service Charge Revenue/Cost Comparison System) of Chapter 19 (Licenses, Fees and Charges) of the Monterey City Code. The Rental Inventory Fee required by this section is in addition to and not in lieu of any general business license tax that might be required by Chapter 19 of the Monterey City Code. The fees shall be used to defray the reasonable costs associated with the implementation and administration of this Article, including costs of maintenance of a rent inventory database, enforcement of the registration required by this Article, outreach, education, and other services as deemed appropriate by the Community Development Director pursuant to Section 8-2.04.

B. Late Fees; Penalties. A Landlord's failure to pay the annual Rental Inventory Fees required by this section shall result in the City taking the following actions:

2. If not paid within thirty (30) days following the issuance of the delinquency notice, the City shall assess a penalty of ten (10) percent of the Rental Inventory Fee, due and payable with the Rental Inventory Fee on the first day of the month following the due date provided in the delinquency notice.

Council Regular Meeting, 9/19/2023, Item No. 6., Item Page 11, Packet Page 50

3. For every thirty (30) days thereafter that the Rental Inventory Fees remain unpaid, the City shall assess a penalty of ten (10) percent of the Rental Inventory Fee. If the Rental Inventory Fees remain unpaid within one-hundred eighty (180) days following the issuance of the delinquency notice, the Landlord shall be subject to a citation described in in Division 1 (Administrative Citations) of Article 2 of Chapter 1 – General Provisions of the Monterey City Code.

The City may collect any past due Rental Inventory Fees and/or late payment penalties by use of all available legal means, including, but not limited to, means available for the collection of judgments, liens, and actions for recovery of money. The City also may recover its collection costs.

C. Rental Inventory Fees Pass-Through. A Landlord may recover up to fifty percent (50%) of the Rental Inventory Fee, excluding any associated late penalties, from their Tenant(s).

D. Exemptions. This section shall not apply to the following Rental Units:

1. Subsidized Rental Units. Rental Units in the housing developments are restricted by deed, regulatory restriction contained in an agreement with a government agency, or other recorded document as affordable to persons and families or very low, low, or moderate income, as defined in Section 50093 of the Health and Safety Code, or subject to an agreement that provides housing subsidies for affordable housing for persons and families of very low, low, or moderate income as defined in Section 50093 of the Health and Safety Code or comparable federal statutes.

2. Mobile Home Spaces. A lot or space of land in a Mobile Home Park where a Mobile Home is or may be located. Mobile Home and Mobile Home Park shall have the same meaning as the definitions of "mobilehome" defined in Section 798.3 of the Civil Code and "mobile home park" defined in Section 798.4 of the Civil Code, respectively, as those sections may be amended from time to time, or their successor code sections.

Council Regular Meeting, 9/19/2023, Item No. 6., Item Page 12, Packet Page 51

§ 8-02.04 – PROVISION OF SERVICES
A. In addition to being used for the administration and enforcement of the rental registration requirement, the Rental Inventory Fees provided for in Section 8-2.03 of this Article shall be used by the Community Development Director for the provision of services to Landlords and Tenants in the City.

1. A website dedicated to landlord/tenant services and resources;

2. Hotline and email dedicated to addressing landlord/tenant issues;

3. Referrals to mediation and/or legal services;

4. Education and outreach to landlords and tenants, such as handouts, mailings, workshops and webinars, about rights and obligations; and

5. Any other services for Landlords and Tenants as deemed appropriate by the Community Development Director.
§ 8-02.05 – ENFORCEMENT
A. Notwithstanding Section 1-7 of the Monterey City Code, a violation of any provision of this Article or a failure to comply with any of the requirements of this Article shall not, under any circumstance, constitute a misdemeanor or infraction subject to the penalties prescribed in Section 1-7 of the Monterey City Code.

B. In addition to any other remedies or penalties available to the City, in law or equity, the City may enforce the terms of this Article through the administrative citation procedures provided in Division 1 (Administrative Citations) of Article 2 of Chapter 1 – General Provisions of the Monterey City Code.

C. The City Attorney may bring a civil action to seek redress for any violation(s) under this Chapter on behalf of the City. In any such relief, the City shall recover all civil penalties prescribed in Division 1 (Administrative Citations) of Article 2 of Chapter 1 – General Provisions of the Monterey City Code, and any other relief the court deems proper.

Council Regular Meeting, 9/19/2023, Item No. 6., Item Page 14, Packet Page 53 Council
Agenda Report
№08/22
FROM: Kimberly Cole, AICP, Community Development Director SUBJECT: Authorize a $29,874 Contribution to the Interfaith Homeless Emergency Lodging Program (I-HELP) for Emergency Homeless Shelter Services (Not a Project Under CEQA per Article 20, Section 15378 and Under General Rule Article 5, Section 15061)
RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council authorize a contribution to the Interfaith Homeless Emergency Lodging Program (I-Help) in the amount of $29,874 for emergency shelter services.

VALUE DRIVERS:

Support efforts and policies that provide equitable access to affordable housing in Monterey and the region.

POLICY IMPLICATIONS:

The proposed fiscal contribution will help I-Help fill its funding gap. If funding is not provided, IHelp has indicated that it would need to stop services during the winter months.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

This agenda item proposes to provide I-HELP with $29,874 for emergency shelter services. This action would increase the appropriation to the Planning Office budget by $29,874.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

The City of Monterey determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)(CCR, Title 14, Chapter 3 (“CEQA Guidelines), Article 20, Section 15378). In addition, CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 includes the general rule that CEQA applies only to activities which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Because the proposed action and this matter have no potential to cause any effect on the environment, or because it falls within a category of activities excluded as projects pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378, this matter is not a project. Because the matter does not cause a direct or any reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change on or in the environment, this matter is not a project. Any subsequent discretionary projects resulting from this action will be assessed for CEQA applicability.

Date: 9/19/2023
Item No.: 7.

Council Regular Meeting, 9/19/2023, Item No. 7., Item Page 1, Packet Page 54 ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:

The City Council could choose not to contribute money towards I-HELP.

DISCUSSION:

The Interfaith Homeless Emergency Lodging Program (I-HELP) operated by the non-profit Outreach Unlimited is the only local agency that provides overnight emergency shelter without a waiting list for unhoused men and women from Monterey on a nightly basis. I-HELP picks up unhoused individuals and provides transportation to local churches for overnight shelter. I-Help coordinates with local service groups to provide food at the shelter. The I-Help program does not require prayer or participation in religious services. The program requires bus drivers and 1- 2 monitors nightly to operate.

The program operated for thirty years and has never required any City funding. This year, the funding situation for I-HELP changed dramatically when the County of Monterey redirected funding to the Pajaro flood victims. As winter approaches, the City would not have any emergency shelter beds available without this service. In consideration of this situation, Monterey’s City Manager reached out to the city administrators of Carmel and Pacific Grove to request that we combine forces again to provide funding equal to our population to support IHELP for emergency overnight shelter. As of the writing of this report, Carmel staff has committed to bring the request forward to their City Council and Pacific Grove is considering the opportunity. Staff will update the Council on this funding opportunity at the meeting.

The attached Resolution authorizes the City to contribute $29,874 to I-HELP to provide emergency shelter.

A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MONTEREY
№09/22
AUTHORIZING A $29,874 CONTRIBUTION TO INTERFAITH HOMELESS EMERGENCY

LODGING PROGRAM (I-HELP) FOR EMERGENCY HOMELESS SHELTER SERVICES WHEREAS, the Interfaith Homeless Emergency Lodging Program (I-HELP) operated by the non-profit Outreach Unlimited is the only local agency that provides overnight emergency shelter without a waiting list for unhoused men and women from Monterey on a nightly basis; WHEREAS, the program operated for thirty years and has never required any City funding. This year, the funding situation for I-HELP changed dramatically when Monterey County redirected funding to the Pajaro flood victims;
WHEREAS, the City would not have any emergency shelter beds available without this service;
WHEREAS, the City’s unhoused population would be at risk without this emergency shelter program;
WHEREAS, the I-HELP program does not require prayer or participation in religious services; and
WHEREAS, the City of Monterey determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)(CCR, Title 14, Chapter 3 (“CEQA Guidelines), Article 20, Section 15378). In addition, CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 includes the general rule that CEQA applies only to activities which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Because the proposed action and this matter have no potential to cause any effect on the environment, or because it falls within a category of activities excluded as projects pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378, this matter is not a project.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MONTEREY that it hereby authorizes a contribution to the Interfaith Homeless Emergency Lodging Program (I-HELP) in the amount of $29,874 for emergency shelter services; and

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MONTEREY that it hereby authorizes the Finance Department to supplement the Planning Office budget 101-400-4440-000-4425 by $29,874.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

The City of Monterey determined that the proposed action, Library Parking Lot equipment purchase, is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)(CCR, Title 14, Chapter 3 (“CEQA Guidelines), Article 20, Section 15378). In addition, CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 includes the general rule that CEQA applies only to activities which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Because the proposed action and this matter have no potential to cause any effect on the environment, or because it falls within a category of activities excluded as projects pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378, this matter is not a project. Because the matter does not cause a direct or any reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change on or in the environment, this matter is not a project. Any Council Regular Meeting, 9/19/2023, Item No. 8., Item Page 2, Packet Page 59 subsequent discretionary projects resulting from this action will be assessed for CEQA applicability.

In addition, the City of Monterey Planning Office determined the project, including the Library Parking Lot permitting and design, Fisherman’s Flat’s Traffic Calming Plan information gathering, and Mar Vista Reconstruction information gathering, is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines (Article 19, Section 15306, Class 6) because the project would consists of basic data collection, research, and resource evaluation activities which would not result in a serious or major disturbance to an environmental resource.

Furthermore, the project does not qualify for any of the exceptions to the categorical exemptions found at CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2.

Exception a - Location. Classes 3, 4, 5, 6, and 11 are qualified by consideration of where the project is to be located -a project that is ordinarily insignificant in its impact on the environment may in a particularly sensitive environment be significant. Therefore, these classes are considered to apply in all instances, except where the project may impact on an environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern where designated, precisely mapped, and officially adopted pursuant to law by federal, state, or local agencies. The project would consist of basic data collection, research, and resource evaluation activities which would not result in a serious or major disturbance to an environmental resource.

Exception b - Cumulative Impact. All exemptions for these classes are inapplicable when the cumulative impact of successive projects of the same type in the same place, over time is significant. The project would consist of basic data collection, research, and resource evaluation activities which would not result in a serious or major disturbance to an environmental resource that could result in a cumulative impact.

Exception c - Significant Effect. A categorical exemption shall not be used for an activity where there is a reasonable possibility that the activity will have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances. The project would consist of basic data collection, research, and resource evaluation activities which would not result in a serious or major disturbance to an environmental resource.

Exception d - Scenic Highways. A categorical exemption shall not be used for a project which may result in damage to scenic resources, including but not limited to, trees, historic buildings, rock outcroppings, or similar resources, within a highway officially designated as a state scenic highway. This does not apply to improvements which are required as mitigation by an adopted negative declaration or certified Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The project would involve information gathering; therefore, there would be no impact to scenic highways.

Exception e - Hazardous Waste Sites. A categorical exemption shall not be used for a project located on a site which is included on any list compiled pursuant to Section 65962.5 of the Government Code. The project would consist of information gathering and does not involve construction of a project site.

Council Regular Meeting, 9/19/2023, Item No. 8., Item Page 3, Packet Page 60 Subsequent discretionary projects resulting from these NCIP items will be assessed for CEQA applicability.

ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:

City Council could choose not to approve the requested additional appropriations for one or more of the three previously approved NCIP projects; however, this is not recommended. To complete permitting and purchase the streetlight for the library parking lot and to perform the required archaeological studies for the traffic calming plans the additional funding is required.

DISCUSSION:

On June 22, 2023, the Neighborhood and Community Improvement Program Committee approved recommendations for appropriation and transfer of additional funding for the Pacific St Streetlight project (nip2321), the Fishermen’s Flats Traffic Calming Plan project (37n1443), and the Mar Vista Reconstruction Design project (35n1616). Discussions of each project are presented below.

The Library Parking Lot (Pacific Street) Streetlight Project was approved by Council on September 20, 2022, as part of the FY 2022/23 Neighborhood and Community Improvement Program and was funded for $10,000. The project includes installation of a streetlight in the parking lot south of the library and across the Hartnell Gulch Stream. City staff, in consultation with the City’s on-call consultant, determined that the existing wooden pole where the streetlight was intended to be installed does not have the structural integrity or power needed for the new streetlight. A new wooden pole and electric service is required.

To proceed with this approved NCIP project, an additional appropriation of $20,000 is requested, increasing total funding for the project to $30,000. Staff recommends that City Council approve an appropriation and transfer of $20,000 in additional funds from the NCIP Contingency account (31ncont) to the Library Parking Lot (Pacific Street) Streetlight Project account (nip2321).

The Fishermen’s Flats Traffic Calming Plan Project was approved by Council on July 2, 2013 as part of the FY 2013/14 Neighborhood Improvement Program and was initially funded for $60,000. On April 21, 2020, Council reduced funding by $1,090.77. The draft Fishermen’s Flats Traffic Calming Plan was completed in 2019; however, there was a lack of consensus around the Plan’s recommendations. In order to build consensus, the Council appropriated an additional $10,000 on June 29, 2022 to hold a fourth public meeting and finalize the Plan. The fourth public meeting was held on October 10, 2022. The Traffic Calming Plan has since been finalized. In 2023, the City revised its policy to require an archaeological assessment as a part of the CEQA determination prior to bringing Plans to Council for adoption.

To proceed with this approved NCIP project, an additional appropriation of $15,000 is requested to complete the archaeological assessment, increasing the total funding for the project to $83,909.23. Staff recommends that City Council approve an appropriation and transfer of $15,000 in additional funds from the NCIP Contingency account (31ncont) to the Fishermen’s Flats Traffic Calming Plan Project account (37n1443).

Council Regular Meeting, 9/19/2023, Item No. 8., Item Page 4, Packet Page 61 The Mar Vista Reconstruction Design project, which includes an update of the Monterey Vista Traffic Calming Plan, was approved by Council on June 16, 2015, as part of the FY 2015/16 Neighbor Improvement Program and was initially funded for $228,000. On April 21, 2020, the Council reduced funding by $30,000, and on July 19, 2022, Council appropriated an additional $50,000 to move the project forward. The Traffic Calming Plan has since been finalized. In 2023, the City revised its policy to require an archaeological assessment as a part of the CEQA determination prior to bringing Plans to Council for adoption.

To proceed with this approved NCIP project, an additional appropriation of $15,000 is requested to complete the archaeological assessment, increasing the total funding for the project to $263,000. Staff recommends that the City Council approve an appropriation and transfer of $15,000 in additional funds from the NCIP Contingency account (31ncont) to the Mar Vista Reconstruction Design Project account (35n1616).

Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution, which:

1. Authorizes the Finance Director, or their designee, to appropriate $20,000 from the NCIP Contingency account (31ncont) to the Library Parking Lot (Pacific Street) Streetlight Project account (nip2321);

2. Authorizes the Finance Director, or their designee, to appropriate $15,000 from the NCIP Contingency account (31ncont) to the Fishermen’s Flats Traffic Calming Plan Project account(37n1443); and,

3. Authorizes the Finance Director, or their designee, to appropriate $15,000 from the NCIP Contingency Account (31ncont) to the Mar Vista Reconstruction Design Project account (35n1616).

RECOMMENDATION:

That City Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing the purchase of a heavy-duty flatbed truck for the Fire Department at a price not to exceed $165,000.00.

VALUE DRIVERS:

POLICY IMPLICATIONS:

This action is consistent with Council’s strategic priority to carefully manage City revenues and expenditures which support the delivery of City services.

This action is also consistent with policy requiring Council approval of purchases exceeding $75,000.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

Funding for this purchase is available in the Equipment Replacement Fund [705-110-1130- 2530-4503].

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

The City of Monterey determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)(CCR, Title 14, Chapter 3 (CEQA Guidelines), Article 20, Section 15378).

Date: 9/19/2023
Item No.: 9.

Council Regular Meeting, 9/19/2023, Item No. 9., Item Page 1, Packet Page 66 ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:

Council could choose to not authorize this purchase. However, this is not recommended.

Without approval of this purchase, Staff cannot replace the failed vehicle.

DISCUSSION:

The Monterey Fire Department, the Monterey County Regional Fire District, and the North Monterey County Fire District provide staffing and equipment to field a California Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES) Type 1 Heavy Rescue Team. Each agency provides a vehicle to carry the equipment and personnel when the team is deployed. This team is primarily available in the Monterey County/San Benito County operational area but could be requested anywhere in the state.

Monterey benefits from participation on this team by having personnel who are trained in specialized rescue and the related equipment available for incidents in Monterey. A similar county-wide team for response to hazardous materials emergencies is staffed by the Seaside and Salinas Fire Departments and the County of Monterey’s Health Department. The City of Monterey has utilized the services of that team numerous times. These two teams provide specialized services to all of Monterey County that individual jurisdictions could not afford to provide on their own. It is a cost-effective way for these services to be available using a shared cost model. The team responds to an average of 8-10 deployments each year. Monterey also uses this equipment and the trained personnel to supplement responses within our jurisdiction several times each year.

The City of Monterey Fire Department Heavy Rescue Specialized Emergency Incident equipment (vehicle #6461) (Urban Search and Rescue - USAR) developed a bad engine. The vehicle is a 1999 model year large standard fire apparatus-sized vehicle with minimum estimated resale value, which will be sold as-is at auction. It has surpassed the original purchase price in maintenance costs and is valued below the point of deeming it advantageous to repair. The vehicle has accumulated $280,588 in the depreciation fund. Replacement of #6461 with a like vehicle would cost an estimated $750,000, but the Fire Department wishes to purchase a smaller truck at a substantial cost savings to the City.

Presently, the automotive industry is in great disarray, with vehicle shortages nationwide. The Fleet Division needs to be able to act quickly when a heavy-duty truck fitting the needs of the Fire Department staff is located. Dealers are selling to first come, first serve buyers, and most are not willing to wait for historical government procedures to transpire. Pursuant to Monterey City Code, Chapter 28, Section 14(d)(8), when a vehicle for which quotes have been obtained pursuant to Section 28-4, is no longer available at the quoted price when the vehicle is in stock, the Purchasing Agent may purchase from any vendor that has the vehicle in stock at a price not to exceed the amount pre-authorized by City Council resolution. This subsection will sunset on June 30, 2028.

Therefore, Staff recommends that City Council adopt a resolution approving the purchase of one (1) heavy-duty flatbed truck at a price not to exceed $165,000.

SUBJECT: Authorize the Purchase of One (1) Utility Dump Truck at a Price Not to Exceed $110,000 (Not a project under CEQA Article 20, Section 15378 and under General Rule Article 5, Section 15061)
RECOMMENDATION:

That City Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing the purchase of a utility dump truck for the Streets and Utilities Division at a price not to exceed $110,000.00.

VALUE DRIVERS:

POLICY IMPLICATIONS:

This action is consistent with Council’s strategic priority to carefully manage City revenues and expenditures which support the delivery of City services.

This action is also consistent with policy requiring Council approval of purchases exceeding $75,000.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

Funding for this purchase is available in the Equipment Replacement Fund [705-110-1130- 3151-4503]; $110,000 was budgeted in the approved FY24 Vehicle Replacement Fund.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

Date: 9/19/2023
Item No.: 10.

Council Regular Meeting, 9/19/2023, Item No. 10., Item Page 1, Packet Page 71 ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:

Council could choose to not authorize this purchase. However, this is not recommended.

Without approval of this purchase, the Streets Division cannot replace the current utility dump truck, which is over 15 years old, with a suggested life cycle replacement age of 10 years.

DISCUSSION:

The utility dump truck (#1219) is utilized five to seven days per week and is the primary-use work vehicle for the Streets and Utilities Division. The current dump truck is equipped with a power take-off (PTO) accessory drive system to operate a wide variety of tools and accessories for pavement and sidewalk repairs. Due to the PTO option, this vehicle idles far more than it drives, which accounts for extremely high engine usage hours. Currently, it has 8,800 engine hours, which is equivalent to 528,000 miles. This is an extremely high usage rate, assuring a very costly engine failure is looming.

Dealers are selling to first come, first serve buyers, and most are not willing to wait for historical government procedures to transpire. Pursuant to Monterey City Code, Chapter 28, Section 14(d)(8), when a vehicle for which quotes have been obtained pursuant to Section 28-4, is no longer available at the quoted price when the vehicle is in stock, the Purchasing Agent may purchase from any vendor that has the vehicle in stock at a price not to exceed the amount pre-authorized by City Council resolution. This subsection will sunset on June 30, 2028.

Therefore, Staff recommends that City Council adopt a resolution approving the purchase of one (1) utility dump truck at a price not to exceed $110,000.

A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MONTEREY
№09/22
AUTHORIZING THE PURCHASE OF ONE (1) UTILITY DUMP TRUCK
AT A PRICE NOT TO EXCEED $110,000
WHEREAS, the Streets and Utilities Division’s current utility dump truck (#1219) is 15 years old (with a 10 year life cycle) and is incurring increased out-of-service time due to mechanical breakdowns;
WHEREAS, funding for this purchase is available in the Equipment Replacement Fund [705-110-1130-3151-4503]; $110,000 was budgeted in the approved FY24 Vehicle Replacement Fund;
WHEREAS, pursuant to Monterey City Code, Chapter 28, Section 14(d)(8), when a vehicle for which quotes have been obtained pursuant to Section 28-4, is no longer available at the quoted price when the vehicle is in stock, the Purchasing Agent may purchase from any vendor that has the vehicle in stock at a price not to exceed the amount pre-authorized by City Council resolution; and
WHEREAS, the City of Monterey determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (CCR, Title 14, Chapter 3 (CEQA Guidelines), Article 20, Section 15378). In addition, CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 includes the general rule that CEQA applies only to activities which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Because the proposed action and this matter have no potential to cause any effect on the environment, or because it falls within a category of activities excluded as projects pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378, this matter is not a project. Because the matter does not cause a direct or any reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change on or in the environment, this matter is not a project. Any subsequent discretionary projects resulting from this action will be assessed for CEQA applicability;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MONTEREY that it hereby authorizes the purchase of one (1) utility dump truck at a price not to exceed $110,000.00.

Agenda Report
№08/22
FROM: Kimberly Cole, AICP, Community Development Director Levi Hill, AICP, Planning Manager
Prepared By: Christy Sabdo, AICP, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: Authorize an Application to the California Coastal Commission for a Local Coastal Program Local Assistance Grant and, if Awarded, Appropriate the Funds and Authorize the City Manager to Enter into a Grant Agreement (Exempt from CEQA per Article 19, Section 15306, Class 6)
RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council:

1. Adopt a resolution directing staff to submit a Local Assistance Grant Program Application to the California Coastal Commission,

2. Authorize the Finance Director to appropriate the funds upon award of the grant, and

3. Authorize the City Manager to enter into a contract with the California Coastal Commission.

VALUE DRIVERS:

Protect and preserve our natural environment by addressing climate change through ecologically responsible and pragmatic solutions.

POLICY IMPLICATIONS:

If awarded, the Local Coastal Program Local Assistance Grant Program grant would fund the preparation of an updated Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Plan that will help guide the City in making informed decisions on sea level rise adaption approaches and complying with the California Coastal Act.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

The City’s on-call consultant, Rincon Consultants, would support City staff in preparing the grant application. City staff time would be needed to manage and administer the grant if awarded. The grant would fund the preparation of an updated Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Plan that will be required as a program in the draft Local Coastal Plan (Draft LCP) (currently being prepared for 2024 approval).

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

The City of Monterey Planning Office determined the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines (Article 19, Section 15306, Class 6) because the project would fund activities, such as basic data collection, research, and resource evaluation activities, which do not result in a serious or major disturbance to an environmental resource.

These would be strictly for information gathering purposes.

Date: 9/19/2023
Item No.: 11.

Council Regular Meeting, 9/19/2023, Item No. 11., Item Page 1, Packet Page 75 Furthermore, the project does not qualify for any of the exceptions to the categorical exemptions found at CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2.

Exception a - Location. Classes 3, 4, 5, 6, and 11 are qualified by consideration of where the project is to be located -a project that is ordinarily insignificant in its impact on the environment may in a particularly sensitive environment be significant. Therefore, these classes are considered to apply in all instances, except where the project may impact on an environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern where designated, precisely mapped, and officially adopted pursuant to law by federal, state, or local agencies. The activities would not cause a significant impact on the environment because they would involve basic data collection, research, and resource evaluation activities, which do not result in a serious or major disturbance to an environmental resource.

Exception b - Cumulative Impact. All exemptions for these classes are inapplicable when the cumulative impact of successive projects of the same type in the same place, over time is significant. The activities would not cause a cumulative impact on the environment because they would involve basic data collection, research, and resource evaluation activities, which do not result in a serious or major disturbance to an environmental resource.

Exception c - Significant Effect. A categorical exemption shall not be used for an activity where there is a reasonable possibility that the activity will have a significant effect on the environment due to unusual circumstances. The activities would not cause a significant impact on the environment because they would involve basic data collection, research, and resource evaluation activities, which do not result in a serious or major disturbance to an environmental resource.

Exception d - Scenic Highways. A categorical exemption shall not be used for a project which may result in damage to scenic resources, including but not limited to, trees, historic buildings, rock outcroppings, or similar resources, within a highway officially designated as a state scenic highway. This does not apply to improvements which are required as mitigation by an adopted negative declaration or certified Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The activities would not cause a significant impact on scenic highways because they would involve basic data collection, research, and resource evaluation activities, which do not result in a serious or major disturbance to an environmental resource.

Exception e - Hazardous Waste Sites. A categorical exemption shall not be used for a project located on a site which is included on any list compiled pursuant to Section 65962.5 of the Government Code. The activities would not cause a significant impact on hazardous waste sites because the project site is not included on any list compiled pursuant to Section 65962.5 of the Government Code.

Exception f - Historical Resources. A categorical exemption shall not be used for a project which may cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource. These activities would not cause a significant impact on historical resources because they would involve basic data collection, research, and resource evaluation activities, which do not result in a serious or major disturbance to an environmental resource.

Exception f - Historical Resources. A categorical exemption shall not be used for a project which may cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historical resource. These activities would not cause a significant impact on historical resources because they would Council Regular Meeting, 9/19/2023, Item No. 11., Item Page 2, Packet Page 76 involve basic data collection, research, and resource evaluation activities, which do not result in a serious or major disturbance to an environmental resource.

ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:

An alternative would be to not submit a Local Coastal Program Local Assistance Grant Program application to the California Coastal Commission.

DISCUSSION:

The Coastal Act mandates the protection of public access and recreation along the coast, coastal habitats, and other sensitive resources, as well as providing priority visitor-serving and coastal-dependent or coastal-related development while simultaneously minimizing risks from coastal hazards.

The City is working diligently towards finalizing the Draft Local Coastal Plan (Draft LCP) with the goal of achieving certification from the Coastal Commission in 2024. The Draft LCP will first be reviewed by both the Coastal Commission and then will be available for public review.

Multiple sea level rise studies have been prepared for the City. Most recently, in 2021, the City, in partnership with Kimley-Horn, prepared Adapting a Threatened Transportation Network to Sea Level Rise1that won an Outstanding Climate Document Award at the annual Association of Environmental Professionals. This study examined the risks that sea level rise poses to transportation and other lifeline infrastructure and explored conceptual options to minimize those risks.

In 2019, a Sea Level Rise Assessment (SLR Assessment) was prepared for State Public Trust Lands2. This study provided an SLR Assessment of tidelands granted to the City of Monterey in accordance with Assembly Bill 691 and included sea level rise assessment and mapping, an estimate of the financial and economic impacts of sea level rise, and a description of how the trustee proposes to protect and preserve resources and structures that would be impacted by SLR.

In 2016 a Final Sea Level Rise and Vulnerability Analyses, Existing Conditions and Issues Report was prepared to serve as a background report for the Draft Local Coastal Plan (LCP).

The Coastal Commission has accepted this 2016 report as a background report for the Draft LCP to 1) understand existing and projected climate-induced coastal hazards, such as sea level rise, and 2) identify existing and potential vulnerabilities to the urban uses, infrastructure, and coastal resources; and 3) help draft the City’s initial policies and programs on sea level rise and adaptation.
1 Adapting to a Threatened Transportation Network to Sea Level Rise-Report and Appendices. https://haveyoursaymonterey.org/sea-level-rise-adaptation-plan 2 AB-691 State Public Trust Lands, Sea Level Rise Assessment. https://haveyoursaymonterey.org/sealevel-rise-adaptation-plan Council Regular Meeting, 9/19/2023, Item No. 11., Item Page 3, Packet Page 77 The City and Commission acknowledged that a more robust science and engineering-based sea level rise vulnerability assessment and adaptation plan is needed to support the city in the development of more detailed policies and programs on sea level rise adaptation and resilience.

The grant would fund the preparation of an updated Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Assessment and Adaptation Plan that would be prepared as the Draft LCP is being finalized. Once the LCP is certified, an LCP amendment will be needed to update the City’s LCP policies and programs related to sea level rise resilience and adaptation.

In conclusion, staff recommends that the City Council authorize staff to submit a Local Coastal Program Local Assistance Grant Program Application to the California Coastal Commission and, if awarded, appropriate the grant funds and authorize the City Manager to enter into a contract with the Coastal Commission.

№08/22
FROM: Kimberly Cole, AICP, Community Development Director Prepared By: Ted Terrasas, REHS, Sustainability Manager SUBJECT: Authorize the City of Monterey to Apply for the CalRecycle SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant Program for FY 2023-2024 Through FY 2028-2029 Either Individually or Jointly with ReGen Monterey or Other Local Agencies (Not a project under CEQA Article 20, Section 15378 and under General Rule Article 5, Section 15061)
RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City of Monterey to apply for CalRecycle grant funding either individually or jointly with Regen Monterey or other local agencies.

VALUE DRIVERS:

Protect and preserve our natural environment by addressing climate change through ecologically responsible and pragmatic solutions.

POLICY IMPLICATIONS:

The City is required to comply with the regulations established by SB 1383 relating to short lived climate pollutants adopted in 2020. As a result, the program implementation, monitoring, tracking, public outreach and reporting to the State will be responsibilities assigned to the City.

While the City could work to address these responsibilities on its own, collaborating with the other jurisdictions in the region facing the same regulatory requirements offers a potentially more efficient and cost effective response, including applying for available grant funding.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

There are no fiscal impacts involved in authorizing the City to apply for CalRecycle grant funding.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

Council Regular Meeting, 9/19/2023, Item No. 12., Item Page 1, Packet Page 82 this matter is not a project. Any subsequent discretionary projects resulting from this action will be assessed for CEQA applicability.

ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:

Should the City Council choose not to authorize this action, the City would need to find other sources, including the General Fund, to fund SB 1383-related compliance activities.

DISCUSSION:

The City Council approved Resolution 22-011 on January 26, 2022 requesting approval to allow the City of Monterey to apply to the CalRecycle SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant Program for FY 2021-2022, individually or jointly with ReGen Monterey (Monterey Regional Waste Management District) or other local agencies.

The City was able to use that funding to work with Regen Monterey and mitigate the cost of compliance with SB 1383, including but not limited to contamination inspections, edible food recovery efforts, and recycled material procurement requirements.

Recently, CalRecycle has indicated their intent to continue this grant program for at least another cycle. There have been some changes to the application process that are making it easier for agencies such as ReGen Monterey to apply on behalf of their member agencies rather than each member agency submitting its own application. Due to this fact, the most preferable option would be for ReGen Monterey to apply for this funding on behalf of the City of Monterey, thus decreasing the staff time and administration necessary to receive funding.

ReGen Monterey would be able to use grant funding on all members' behalf to address shared costs that are allocated to each member through the MOU between ReGen and its member agencies that was developed to assist in compliance with SB 1383 and initially signed by the City in January of 2022.

Based on the information stated in this report, staff is recommending that the City Council authorize the City to apply to the CalRecycle SB 1383 Local Assistance Grant Program for FY 2023-2024 through FY 2028-2029 either individually or jointly with ReGen Monterey or other local agencies.

AUTHORIZING THE CITY OF MONTEREY TO APPLY FOR THE CALRECYCLE SB 1383 LOCAL ASSISTANCE GRANT PROGRAM FOR FY 2023-2024 THROUGH 2028-2029

EITHER INDIVIDUALLY OR JOINTLY WITH REGEN MONTEREY OR OTHER LOCAL

AGENCIES
WHEREAS, SB 1383 is recognized throughout the industry as being the most significant solid waste legislation in the past 30 years and focuses on the diversion of organic waste from disposal in landfills;
WHEREAS, according to the State of California, in 2018 over 50% of waste in the state was organic;
WHEREAS, organic waste generates methane during decomposition, which has 80 times the warming power of carbon dioxide within the first 20 years of reaching the atmosphere; WHEREAS, the drought in 2015, exacerbated by climate change, cost the agriculture industry in the Central Valley approximately $2.7B and 20,000 jobs; WHEREAS, recovering edible food is critical in that 1 in 5 Californians are food insecure, and that unrecovered food becomes an organic waste product; WHEREAS, regulatory compliance will require the City, its waste hauler and the MRWMD to establish new or increase existing waste diversion programs to comply with state regulations;
WHEREAS, Public Resources Code sections 48000 et seq. authorize the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) to administer various grant programs (grants) in furtherance of the State of California’s (state) efforts to reduce, recycle and reuse solid waste generated in the state thereby preserving landfill capacity and protecting public health and safety and the environment;
WHEREAS, in furtherance of this authority CalRecycle is required to establish procedures governing the application, awarding, and management of the grants; WHEREAS, CalRecycle grant application procedures require, among other things, an applicant’s governing body to declare by resolution certain authorizations related to the administration of CalRecycle grants; and
WHEREAS, the City of Monterey determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)(CCR, Title 14, Chapter 3 (“CEQA Guidelines), Article 20, Section 15378).

RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council adopt a resolution to execute the proposed MOU (Attachment 2) with Regen Monterey (ReGen) for FY 2023-2024 and authorize the the payment of $31,526 for these services. .

VALUE DRIVERS:

Protect and preserve our natural environment by addressing climate change through ecologically responsible and pragmatic solutions.

POLICY IMPLICATIONS:

California’s Short-Lived Climate Pollutant Reduction law (SB 1383), codified in the section of the Health and Safety Code and Public Resources Code, requires the City to comply As a result, the program implementation, monitoring, tracking, public outreach, and reporting to the State are responsibilities assigned to the City. While the City could work to address these responsibilities on its own, collaborating with the other jurisdictions in the region facing the same regulatory requirements offers a potentially more efficient and cost-effective response.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

ReGen estimates that the total MOU implementation cost for FY2023-2024 will be $238,824 for all member agencies combined. This amount includes a $65,000 contribution from ReGen Monterey from recycling revenues, as well as some costs which were not applied to the City of Monterey, including HF&H franchise management and Recyclist database fees.

Of the $238,824, the City’s portion, when factored by population, waste hauler franchise, and subtracting non-applicable costs, is $31,526. The City has budgeted for this cost in the Community Development Department’s FY 23/24 budget if approved.

ReGen will also be applying for a State grant to supplement funds for SB 1383 implementation.

Date: 9/19/2023
Item No.: 13.

Council Regular Meeting, 9/19/2023, Item No. 13., Item Page 1, Packet Page 86 ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:

No alternatives were considered for this action.

DISCUSSION:

SB 1383 has been regarded as one of the most significant diversion legislation efforts in the past 30 years. The State estimates that 20 to 23 million tons of organic waste (food/yard waste) are disposed of per year, which accounts for roughly two-thirds of all disposal. In addition to the amount of waste, the other main concern with this waste stream is the production of methane, which is estimated to be 80 times more potent of a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide.

Landfills are estimated to be responsible for 21% of the State’s methane emissions.

Due to the magnitude and complexity of SB 1383 requirements, ReGen member agencies, regional waste haulers, and the two solid waste management agencies in the County (ReGen and Salinas Valley Recycles) began meeting together to discuss compliance strategies in Q4 of 2020. While each member agency is responsible for compliance on its own, the funding and staffing levels required would likely be greatly reduced by collaborating with regional agencies expected to comply with the same regulations.

Some of the key tasks associated with the SB 1383 compliance require extensive program implementation by the City, including:
 Collection and Processing – Processing of organic (green/food) waste from commercial and residential sources, labeling and color coding all carts  Monitoring and Enforcement – Conducting annual route reviews for contaminants, perform waste composition studies, issue notices and violations and penalties
 Product Procurement – Annually procure an amount of organic material (compost, renewable gas, mulch) that complies with the target established by CalRecycle
 Ordinance Adoption – Adopt code requiring compliance with SB 1383 and establishing enforcement mechanism
Council Regular Meeting, 9/19/2023, Item No. 13., Item Page 2, Packet Page 87  Edible Food Recovery Program – Implement a program that connects edible food generators with recovery organizations
 Education and Outreach – Annually provide information including but not limited to edible food recovery, material separation, waste prevention, methane reduction
 Record Keeping and Reporting – Maintaining a centralized implementation record relating to SB 1383 compliance (available within 10 days notice) in addition to annual reporting to the State
The MOU (Attachment 2) is an effort by ReGen member agencies to continue to share in the costs of implementing or expanding diversion programs in order to comply with SB 1383. The MOU also has a potential benefit in that when demonstrating efforts to comply with State law, member agencies can show that they are making every reasonable effort to comply by cooperating with neighboring jurisdictions and working on compliance plans together.

For these reasons, it is the recommendation of staff that the City Council approve the resolution authorizing the MOU with ReGen for FY 2023-2024.

Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Because the proposed action and this matter have no potential to cause any effect on the environment, or because it falls within a category of activities excluded as projects pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378, this matter is not a project.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MONTEREY that the MOU between ReGen Monterey and its member agencies for FY 2023- 2024 is approved and authorize the payment of $31,526 for these services.

BETWEEN THE MONTEREY REGIONAL WASTE MANAGEMENT DISTRICT AND ITS

MEMBER AGENCIES REGARDING ASSISTANCE WITH COMPLIANCE WITH CALIFORNIA SENATE BILL 1383
This Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) is made and entered into as of the date of the signatures set forth below by and between the MONTEREY REGIONAL WASTE MANAGEMENT DISTRICT (“District”, “MRWMD”), a California Garbage and Refuse Disposal District, and its member agencies including the cities of CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA, DEL REY OAKS, MARINA, MONTEREY, PACIFIC GROVE, SAND CITY, and SEASIDE; THE PEBBLE BEACH COMMUNITY SERVICES DISTRICT; and THE COUNTY OF MONTEREY (“Member Agencies”). Collectively these entities shall be known herein as “Parties” or individually as a “Party.”
Recitals
A. The State of California has passed legislation, known as Senate Bill 1383, California’s Short-Lived Climate Pollutants regulation. The regulation will have significant impact on each Member Agency, with the goal of reducing organic material being landfilled by 75% by 2025, compared to a 2014 basis. The legislation mandates that Member Agencies undertake certain activities around the handling of organic waste materials collected within their jurisdictions. The regulation also requires 20% recovery of edible food by 2025 to direct it to a beneficial use and thus prevent it from entering the waste stream. Regulations take effect, and local program implementation will begin, on January 1, 2022.

B. The Member Agencies have determined that it is in their best interest to coordinate their activities related to this legislation. This coordination is being facilitated by the District’s Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) comprised of staff from each Member Agency, the three Haulers in the District service area (Haulers), Salinas Valley Recycles (SVR) and MRWMD.

C. The Member Agencies have further determined that the District has the expertise and resources necessary to implement some of these activities on the Member Agencies’ behalf and have now requested that the District incur costs to provide these activities.

D. The Member Agencies have agreed to reimburse the District for proportionate shares of certain designated annual costs incurred by the District for these activities.

E. The form and content of this MOU have been presented to the TAC, and the TAC has recommended it for approval by the Parties
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual benefits to be derived by the District and the Member Agencies, and of the promises contained in this MOU, the Parties agree as Attachment 2
Council Regular Meeting, 9/19/2023, Item No. 13., Item Page 6, Packet Page 91 2 follows:

Section 1. Recitals: The recitals set forth above are incorporated into this MOU.

Section 3. Voluntary: This MOU is voluntarily entered into by the Parties for the purpose of facilitating the implementation of SB 1383.

Section 4. Term: This MOU shall become effective on the last day of its execution by a Party and shall remain in effect until terminated by the Parties.

Section 5. Scope of Work, Costs & Cost Sharing: The scope of work, and associated costs, are set out in Exhibit A, entitled Detailed Activities and Costs, attached hereto and incorporated herein. Allocation of such costs to the Member Agencies is set out in Exhibit B, entitled Member Agencies’ Annual Proportionate Shares and Costs, attached hereto and incorporated herein.

(b) This MOU is governed by, interpreted under, and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California.
(c) If any provision of this MOU is determined by any court to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable to any extent, then the remainder of this MOU will not be affected, and this MOU will be construed as if the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been contained in this MOU.
(d) Waiver by the District or any Party to this MOU of any term, condition, or covenant of this MOU will not constitute a waiver of any other term, condition, or covenant.

Attachment 2
Council Regular Meeting, 9/19/2023, Item No. 13., Item Page 8, Packet Page 93 4 Waiver by the District or any Party of any breach of the provisions of this MOU will not constitute a waiver of any other provision, nor a waiver of any subsequent breach or violation of any provision of this MOU.
(e) This MOU may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which is an original but all of which taken together will constitute one and the same instrument, provided, however, that such counterparts have been delivered to all parties to this MOU. (f) All parties acknowledge they have been represented, or have had the opportunity to be represented, by counsel in the preparation and negotiation of this MOU. Accordingly, this MOU will be construed according to its fair language.

MEMBER AGENCIES’ ESTIMATED ALLOCATION OF CALRECYCLE LOCAL ASSISTANCE GRANT PROGRAM FUNDING (OWR1: 2021-22)**
The Member Agencies of Carmel, Del Rey Oaks, Marina, Monterey, Sand City, Seaside, Pacific Grove, and the Pebble Beach Community Services District (PBCSD) join the Local Assistance Grant Program as a regional collaborative project for the implementation of regulation requirements associated with SB 1383, in coordination with other jurisdictions of the Monterey County region to maximize project impact and cost-effectiveness across the countywide area.

This regional grant-funded project will be coordinated through the two local waste management governmental agencies within Monterey County, Monterey Regional Waste Management (MRWMD), and Salinas Valley Solid Waste Authority (SVSWA).

The Member Agencies, along with each of the MRWMD and SVSWA member agencies are applying individually to this grant program using a unified regional project design, budget and implementation approach. All participating jurisdictions’ individual grant funding will be pooled together and expended in a cooperative manner by their agencies’ respective waste districts, MRWMD and SVSWA. The County of Monterey is applying separately and will manage its budget and project implementation independently, in coordination with broader regional planning efforts.

Based on current regional needs and findings to date related to SB 1383 in Monterey County, the following four major components will comprise the principal focus areas of program expenditures under the proposed regional project approach:
1) Grant Management, Tracking & Reporting
2) Agency Procurement Support
3) Edible Food Recovery Implementation and Capacity Building 4) Organics & Edible Food Recovery Education, Outreach and Technical Assistance Each element will be informed by regional coordination through the established MRWMD and SVSWA Technical Advisory Committee forums, Capacity Planning Assessments and related studies completed or in process throughout the region, and new data and information obtained through program implementation trials, stakeholder feedback and best practices as identified.

All expenditures will be incurred jointly, facilitated through each respective waste agency, and tracked and reported by each jurisdiction, based on the percentage of grant funds received by each agency compared to the full funding received collectively by all participating member agencies. CalRecycle, based on per capita calculations, using the Department of Finance’s January 2021 population statistics, estimates jurisdictions’ proportionate grant allocations. A summary of individual and collective agency grant allocations is presented below as Table 1.

Agenda Report
№08/22
FROM: Nat Rojanasathira, Assistant City Manager
Prepared by: Tonya Hufford, General Manager, Monterey Conference Center SUBJECT: Authorize the City Manager to Sign an Agreement for Destination Marketing and Group Sales Services in an Amount Not to Exceed $1,800,000 with the Monterey County Convention and Visitors Bureau (dba See Monterey) Effective July 1, 2023 (Not a Project Under CEQA per Article 20, Section 15378 and Under General Rule Article 5, Section 15061)
RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to sign an agreement with the Monterey County Convention and Visitors Bureau (See Monterey) for FY 2023/2024 for destination marketing and group sales services in an amount not to exceed $1,800,000, effective July 1, 2023.

VALUE DRIVERS:

POLICY IMPLICATIONS:

On March 15, 2022, the Monterey City Council amended the Monterey City Code to allow services performed by the State-recognized Destination Marketing Organization for the Monterey Region as a sole source exception to competitive procurement requirements, and there is no dollar value cap on contracts awarded pursuant to this section. The ordinance went into effect on April 14, 2022. The existing agreement with the MCCVB contained a not to exceed contract amount of $1,800,000, and it expired in July 2022. (See Ag-10822.) With $36,077,405 in projected TOT revenue, 6% of TOT would be $2,164,644. With a reduction of $350,000 for the Monterey Conference Center, the payment would be $1,814,644.30. City staff and the See Monterey have once again agreed to cap the City’s contribution at a not-toexceed amount of $1,800,000, which the City Council has authorized in prior years.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

Per past Council practice, the City of Monterey has invested 6% of the previous year’s Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) revenue to fund destination marketing services. These funds have been granted to the U.S. Travel Association’s designated Destination Marketing Organization (DMO) for the region, See Monterey, with a reduction of $350,000 as part of MCCVB’s contribution to the City for repayment of internal loans for the Conference Center renovation project, up to $1,800,000.

Date: 9/19/2023
Item No.: 14.

Council Regular Meeting, 9/19/2023, Item No. 14., Item Page 1, Packet Page 110 Compensation for services in the proposed agreement is based on current, remitted TOT, allowing the City to pay as it collects, rather than being based on past year’s collections or future projections. The compensation for See Monterey’s services in FY 2023/2024 includes 6% of the remitted TOT, reduced by the $350,000 for the conference center. Funding of up to $1,800,000 for this contract is included in the Adopted FY 2023/2024 Budget. Exceeding this amount would require returning to the City Council for approval of an appropriation of funds.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

The City of Monterey determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (CCR, Title 14, Chapter 3 (“CEQA Guidelines), Article 20, Sections 15378). In addition, CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 includes the general rule that CEQA applies only to activities which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Because the proposed action and this matter have no potential to cause any effect on the environment, or because it falls within a category of activities excluded as projects pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378, this matter is not a project. Because the matter does not cause a direct or any reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change on or in the environment, this matter is not a project. Any subsequent discretionary projects resulting from this action will be assessed for CEQA applicability.

ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:

The Council could choose to not authorize this agreement, or to increase, or decrease the funds provided for these services. The funding for See Monterey comes from a set aside in the City’s “Municipal Promotions Account.”
The City Council could choose to invest all or part of its tourism marketing dollars through another organization, such as the chambers of commerce, business associations, or private marketing firms. The City Council could also choose to conduct tourism marketing in-house, within a City department. Some cities, such as Carmel-by-the-Sea and Pacific Grove, choose to divert part of its marketing investment to See Monterey and part of its marketing investment to their local visitor center or Chamber of Commerce.

However, this approach is not recommended because staff believes investing in marketing at a regional level will have a greater positive impact on business and leisure travel within the City of Monterey. See Monterey remains committed to providing excellent marketing and group sales efforts for the City of Monterey, including the provision of a full-time group sales manager dedicated to Monterey and employed by See Monterey, to be based at the Monterey Conference Center.

Unlike the cities of Carmel-by-the-Sea and Pacific Grove, the City of Monterey largely attracts business visitors, which is a special target market of See Monterey. Furthermore, staff have worked collaboratively with See Monterey staff over the past two years to ensure that the City of Monterey is receiving its fair share of promotional activity and marketing.

Council could also redirect some or all of the funds to other areas of service delivery which enhance or support Monterey as a premier destination. Such services could include funding for Council Regular Meeting, 9/19/2023, Item No. 14., Item Page 2, Packet Page 111 public safety, upgrades to streetscape and infrastructure, park and trail improvements, or a business district maintenance program.

DISCUSSION:

For over two decades, the Monterey City Council has on an annual basis, authorized funding for See Monterey to provide a destination sales and marketing program for both group sales and leisure and convention delegate and housing services. The scope of work includes:
 Generating meeting and event leads for the group hotels in the City of Monterey to include groups ranging from 10 or more guest rooms on peak to City-wide conference leads that may utilize two or more hotels. See Monterey will integrate group sales and marketing programs through the organization's initiatives. See Monterey’s business development team will solicit meeting, event, and City-wide accounts, build customer relationships to book business, give sales presentations, attend/participate in direct sales activities, coordinate City-wide hotel and Monterey Conference Center negotiations where appropriate, arrange site inspections, prepare bid presentations and represent the City at key customer events.

Solicitation of meeting, event, and city-wide accounts; build customer relationships to book business, give sales presentations, attend/participate in direct sales activities, coordinate city-wide hotel and conference center negotiations where appropriate, arrange site inspections, prepare bid presentations and represent the City at key customer events.  Execution of an aggressive marketing, PR and sales program to leverage renovations, technical enhancements, LEED Platinum Certification, and GBAC Star accreditation of the Monterey Conference Center, including the development of marketing and sales tools, customer and media familiarizations and other initiatives as mutually agreed.  Working to develop overnight business by working with the travel trade and in partnership with Visit California and Brand USA. This work includes prospecting, familiarization tours, and site visits.
 Meeting at least monthly with the Monterey Conference Center's General Manager and Sales Coordinator to collaborate, review bookings and forecast specific city-wide sales performance metrics for the current fiscal year.
 Creation of a public business plan that outlines all sales and marketing initiatives planned for the fiscal year, including meeting, event, and city-wide conference sales and marketing programs.
 Execution of media relations programs by working extensively with travel journalists, (consumer and trade), proactively pitching stories, promoting Monterey and the hospitalityrelated businesses within the City, and servicing their requests for images, press kits, and related materials.
 Provides copies of all group sales leads of ten (10) rooms or more peak night when the sales lead is distributed by See Monterey sales personnel. See Monterey provides copies of the sales leads to the Monterey Conference Center General Manager or their designee. See Monterey group sales lead copies will be used for the primary purpose of tracking group Council Regular Meeting, 9/19/2023, Item No. 14., Item Page 3, Packet Page 112 sales lead volume.
 Provide a dedicated, full-time group sales manager dedicated to group sales activity in Monterey, and housed at the Monterey Conference Center.  Market through advertising, promotions, and social media and otherwise promote Monterey as a preferred leisure and group meeting destination.
 Maintain and continually improve a robust website with information serving meeting and event planners and individual travelers to Monterey.
 Stimulate interest and desire in key domestic and international feeder markets to visit Monterey.
 Provide destination services for group customers including, but not limited to, the creation of microsites, development of pre-and post-function itineraries and options, venue and services research and procurement, welcome programs, attendance building programs, on-site information desks, collateral distribution, and registration services.

The agreement may be extended for four additional one-year terms by written mutual agreement of the parties; each extension term shall commence on July 1st of the respective year.

Recognizing employees of the City at City Council meetings is consistent with City policy.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

All funding associated with recognizing City employees for their milestone anniversaries and retirements has been budgeted as part of the FY 2023/24 budget.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

Because the proposed action and this matter have no potential to cause any effect on the environment, or because it falls within a category of activities excluded as projects pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378, this matter is not a project. Because the matter does not cause a direct or any reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change on or in the environment, this matter is not a project. Any subsequent discretionary projects resulting from this action will be assessed for CEQA applicability.

DISCUSSION:

The City of Monterey is fortunate to have many retirees and staff who are career employees and have served the community for decades. The Mayor and City Council will recognize City employees who have retired with 20 years of service or greater, in addition to employees who have reached their work anniversary with 20, 25, 30, or 35 years of service.

Agenda Report
№08/22
FROM: Kimberly Cole, AICP, Community Development Director Prepared By: Janna Aldrete, Property Manager
SUBJECT: Appoint Agency Negotiators for Conference with Real Property Negotiators Pursuant to Government Code Section 54956.8; Property: 693 Del Monte Avenue (Monterey Bay Kayaks); Agency Negotiators: Kimberly Cole and Janna Aldrete; Negotiating Parties: Cass Schrock (Monterey Bay Kayaks, Inc.); Under Negotiation: Price and Terms of Payment for Lease Extension (Not a Project under CEQA per Article 20, Section 15378 and under General Rule Article 5, Section 15061)
RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council appoint agency negotiators for conference with real property negotiators pursuant to Government Code Section 54956.8 to discuss and provide confidential direction for terms and conditions for a lease extension.

VALUE DRIVERS:

POLICY IMPLICATIONS:

City Council approval is required for real estate transactions. Closed session confidential review of real estate matters is allowed.

The Surplus Land Act does not apply since there is no disposition as defined under the Act.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

There are no fiscal implications related to the recommendation to appoint agency negotiators.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

The City of Monterey determined that the proposed action is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (CCR, Title 14, Chapter 3 CEQA Guidelines Article 20, Section 15378). In addition, CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 includes the general rule that CEQA applies only to activities which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA.

Council Regular Meeting, 9/19/2023, Item No. 16., Item Page 1, Packet Page 118 this matter is not a project. Any subsequent discretionary projects resulting from this action will be assessed for CEQA applicability.

ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:

The City Council could decide not to appoint negotiators or appoint different negotiators. This is not recommended by staff. It is appropriate that the Council appoint agency negotiators and authorize a confidential discussion regarding the proposed lease extension.

DISCUSSION:

Monterey Bay Kayaks is a locally owned and operated business, occupying 693 Del Monte Avenue since 1989. The business offers guided kayak tours of the Monterey Harbor, Cannery Row, and Lovers Point. In addition to guided tours, Monterey Bay Kayaks offers rentals of double and single kayaks, standup paddleboards, and fishing kayaks. Private sea kayaking lessons, school group tours, and private tours are also available. The business includes a retail component, selling t-shirts, sweatshirts, paddling gear, and used kayaks.

The most current lease between the City and Monterey Bay Kayaks was executed in 2014 for an initial term of five (5) years, with two (2) options to extend the lease for two (2) years each.

The lease is scheduled to expire October 31, 2023, and the tenant has expressed interest in extending the lease. Closed session discussions are allowed and appropriate for confidential direction in real estate matters of this type.

Agenda Report
№06/11
FROM: Christine Davi, City Attorney
SUBJECT: Receive Ocean View Community Services District Quarterly Report (Not a Project under CEQA per Article 20, Section 15378 and General Rule Article 5, Section 15061)
RECOMMENDATION:

That the Community Services District Board of Directors receive a report on the Ocean View Community Services District.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

DISCUSSION:

The City of Monterey approved the Ocean View Plaza Project (“Project”) located at 457, 465, 470, 484, 565, and 570 Cannery Row in June 2004. Subsequently, the City of Monterey requested that the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) review the establishment of a Community Services District (CSD) for the project site that would own, operate, and maintain the proposed desalination plant once constructed. This CSD was formed pursuant to Community Services District Law (Government Code section 61000 et seq.,) to own and operate a desalination plant to provide residential and commercial water to the Project.

LAFCO adopted Resolution No. 05-27 on December 27, 2005, approving the formation of this CSD. The Monterey City Council was subsequently appointed as the District Board and must meet quarterly according to requirements of Government Code section 61044.

In November 2019, the California Coastal Commission denied requests for coastal development permit extensions. The Coastal Commission voted that there were changed circumstances from its original coastal development permit issued in 2008 related to water supply and coastal hazards/sea level rise.

Date: 9/19/2023
Item No.: 17.

Council Regular Meeting, 9/19/2023, Item No. 17., Item Page 1, Packet Page 121 In January 2020, Ruby Falls Fund, LLC, sued the Coastal Commission over its denial of the permit extension request as described in Monterey County Superior Court Case No. 20CV000165. That action was stayed pending resolution of the appeals in related litigation regarding the ownership of the property. Canrow Owner, LLC was the holder of the first deed of trust that was in default. AquaLegacy Development, LLC was the successful bidder at the foreclosure sale held under the second deed of trust. Canrow held a foreclosure sale under the first deed of trust without notifying AquaLegacy, and obtained the property with a credit bid.

Canrow sold the property to Ruby Falls Fund, LLC. On May 1, 2023, in an unpublished decision in the Sixth District Court of Appeal, Case Nos. H048978, H049062, H049160, and H049368, the court ruled that the trial court erred in ruling that Canrow Owner, LLC’s foreclosure was wrongful, among other things. In other words, Ruby Falls Fund, LLC is the property owner.

On August 16, 2023, the Monterey County Superior Court lifted the stay in the action against the Coastal Commission, and set a Case Management Conference for November 7, 2023.

The City originally approved the vesting tentative map for the project on June 1, 2004. The map approval has been extended by operation of law to June 1, 2025, and may be further tolled. cc: Save Our Waterfront, 781 Terry Street, Monterey, CA 93940 Cannery Row Association

Agenda Report
№08/22
FROM: Kimberly Cole, AICP, Community Development Director Levi Hill, AICP, Planning Manager, Planning Division
Christy Sabdo, AICP, Associate Planner, Planning Division SUBJECT: Review a Summary of Public Comments Received During the Required 30-Day Public Comment Period on the 2023-2031 Draft Housing Element (Not a Project Under CEQA per Article 20, Section 15378 and Under General Rule Article 5, Section 15061)
RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council and Planning Commission review Agenda Report #19. This agenda report includes a summary of public comments provided during the required 30-day public comment period on the 2023 – 2031 Draft Housing Element and recommends changes. The Planning Commission should provide feedback to the City Council on this agenda item.

VALUE DRIVERS:

Foster a local government that is transparent and collaborative; and solicits, welcomes and appreciates input from all.

POLICY IMPLICATIONS:

Government Code 65583(c)(9) requires that the City make “a diligent effort … to achieve public participation of all economic segments of the community in the development of the housing element, and the program shall describe this effort.”
Government Code 65585(b)(1) requires: “The local government of the planning agency shall make the first draft revision of a housing element available for public comment for at least 30 days and, if any comments are received, the local government shall take at least 10 business days after the 30-day public comment period to consider and incorporate public comments into the draft revision prior to submitting it to the department. For any subsequent draft revision, the local government shall post the draft revision on its internet website and shall email a link to the draft revision to all individuals and organizations that have previously requested notices relating to the local government’s housing element at least seven days before submitting the draft revision to the department.”

Agenda Report
№08/22
FROM: Kimberly Cole, AICP, Community Development Director Levi Hill, AICP, Planning Manager, Planning Division
Christy Sabdo, AICP, Associate Planner, Planning Division SUBJECT: Approve or Direct any Changes to the Public Review Draft of the Housing Element; and Authorize the City Manager to send a Revised Draft Housing Element to HCD to Start the Legally Mandated 90-day HCD Review (Not a Project Under CEQA per Article 20, Section 15378 and Under General Rule Article 5, Section 15061)
RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council receive a summary of public comments provided during the required 30- day public comment period on the 2023 – 2031 Draft Housing Element (Draft Housing Element); direct any changes to the public review draft of the Housing Element; and authorize the City Manager to send a revised Draft Housing Element to the State Housing and Community Development Department (HCD) to start the legally mandated 90-day HCD review.

VALUE DRIVERS:

Support efforts and policies that provide equitable access to affordable housing in Monterey and the region.

POLICY IMPLICATIONS:

State law requires cities to periodically update their Housing Element. Following a required 30- day public comment period, the draft Housing Element must be submitted to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) for a 90-day review. The City will have the opportunity to respond to HCD comments and written findings and submit a revised draft Housing Element to HCD.

If HCD finds that the draft housing element does not substantially comply with statutory requirements, the City must either revise the element in accordance with HCD’s recommendation or adopt findings on why the City believes the element substantially complies with the statute despite HCD’s comments.

The courts may apply a broad range of remedies if a housing element is not consistent with state law. (Government Code sections 65754-65763.) For example, a court could suspend the City’s authority to issue building permits or grant zoning changes, variances, or subdivision map approvals.

Date: 9/19/2023
Item No.: 19.

Council Regular Meeting, 9/19/2023, Item No. 19., Item Page 1, Packet Page 124 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

Submitting the Draft Housing Element to HCD is included in the overall costs for the General Plan Update, which totals $540,230. Funds for this effort have been included in the FY 2023-24 budget.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

An Environmental Impact Report will be prepared on the Draft Housing Element prior to adoption.

ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:

Council could decide not to authorize the City Manager to send the Draft Housing Element of the Monterey 2031 – General Plan update to HCD. If staff does not proceed with the project, the City’s General Plan would be out of compliance with state law. The court may issue fines, among other penalties, for such noncompliance pursuant to Government Code section 65585(l).

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, housing advocates filed 12 lawsuits against the cities of Burlingame, Cupertino, Daly City, Fairfax, Martinez, Novato, Palo Alto, Pinole, Pleasant Hill, Richmond, and Santa Clara County in February 2023 for alleged failure to comply with housing element requirements. There is also a so-called builder’s remedy process, which allows developers to bypass local zoning standards in order to build a certain percentage of affordable housing projects.

DISCUSSION:

Background
On February 21, 2023, the City Council and Planning Commission received a comprehensive report on the General Plan Update from the City’s consultant, Dyett and Bhatia – Urban and Regional Planners, who, along with staff, presented on this topic.

Cities are required to include in their general plans a housing element, identifying locations for future housing development for all income levels. The plan is to consider the housing development goals (3,654 units) set for the city by the state.

On May 23, 2023, the Planning Commission received the Monterey 2031 – General Plan update schedule. Staff informed the Planning Commission of the upcoming milestones for the project.

Council Regular Meeting, 9/19/2023, Item No. 19., Item Page 2, Packet Page 125 On June 20, 2023, the City Council reviewed the draft Preliminary Sites Inventory and Key Strategies Memorandum,1 developed with extensive community input received during the community survey conducted from March 1, 2023 to April 30, 2023.2 This Memorandum was presented to:
 Provide relevant background information regarding State guidance for site suitability and community input on locations and strategies for new housing;  Introduce several areas of the City with the greatest potential to accommodate new housing, assess the capacity for new housing in each based on State site suitability guidelines; and
 Summarize the total potential housing capacity of the sites with the implementation of the potential strategies in relation to Monterey's RHNA allocation.

The City Council carefully reviewed each map in the draft Preliminary Sites Inventory and approved the inventory shown on Maps 1-2 and 5-9, approved Map 3 (Garden Road/Airport/Hwy 68) with increased density in the 50-acre Monterey Peninsula Unified School District site, and approved Map 4 excluding the Andronico’s site (the portion of the site in the City of Monterey). The City Council also approved adding new opportunity sites to the inventory including the Heritage Harbor office complex, US Navy La Mesa Village, and Del Monte Shopping Center. The City Council directed staff to review these three new opportunity sites for feasibility to include in the inventory (Attachment 1).

CA HCD Required 30-Day Public Comment Review Period
Prior to submittal of the Draft Housing Element to the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), state law requires local governments to make the draft document available for public comment for 30 days, and if any comments were received, take at least 10 business days to consider and incorporate public comments. State law requires the Housing Element to be released to the public for a 30-day public comment review period.3 The City released the Draft Housing Element on August 2, 2023 on the project website (https://haveyoursaymonterey.org/monterey2031). The 30-day public comment period for the Draft Housing Element was August 2, 2023 to September 4, 2023. Public review comments were received in person at the Planning Division, by mailing or emailing comments to the Planning Division, or at the Community Open House.

(Figure 1). A wide variety of outreach promoting the event was provided, including: a postcard mailer sent to every Monterey residence, posts on the City's website monterey.org as well as the City's engagement portal, HaveYourSayMonterey.org/Monterey2031, and featured spots in the City Focus newsletter and several weekly email campaigns. The City also sent a news release to media, business and neighborhood associations, announced in the newscast by the Spanish-language media company Entravision-Univision 67, and posted on social media several times preceding the event, as well as post-event [i.e., Facebook, Instagram, X (formely known as Twitter), and Nextdoor]. The Monterey Herald, the Monterey County Weekly, and the Monterey Peninsula Chamber of Commerce reported on the event. The open house was added to the Monterey County Weekly Digital Calendar. Over 80 community members attended the open house to learn about the content of the Draft Housing Element and share their thoughts on proposed strategies to meet projected housing needs in Monterey. The Scoping Meeting for the Draft Environmental Impact Report was also held at this event. Open House display boards can be viewed online.4 A report on the Community Open House was prepared and includes comments received that evening from the public on the Draft Housing Element (Attachment 3); these comments are also summarized in the Summary of Draft Housing Element comments further in this report.

https://haveyoursaymonterey.org/monterey2031/widgets/58946/documents Council Regular Meeting, 9/19/2023, Item No. 19., Item Page 4, Packet Page 127 Public Review Draft Housing Element
On August 2, 2023, the Draft Housing
Element was released for public review. The
Draft Housing Element is a comprehensive
update to the Housing Element of the General
Plan, undertaken to accommodate the City’s
share of the regional housing need and
address new State law. The Housing Element
is an integrated part of the General Plan,
published under separate cover. It is an eightyear plan that is updated more frequently than other General Plan elements to ensure
its relevancy and accuracy.

The Draft Housing Element consists of four
chapters and an Appendices, and is organized as described below:
 Chapter 1 – Introduction: An introduction to the purpose of the document and the legal requirements for a Housing Element, together with an overview of the community and the community involvement process.
 Chapter 2 – Community Profile: Documents population characteristics, housing characteristics, and current development trends to inform the current housing state of Monterey and to identify community needs.
 Chapter 3 – Adequate Sites for Housing: An inventory of adequate sites suitable for construction of new housing sufficient to meet needs at all economic levels.  Chapter 4 – Housing Action Plan: Articulates housing goals, policies, and programs to address the City’s identified housing needs, including those of special needs groups and the findings of an analysis of fair housing issues in the community. This Housing Element identifies a foundational framework of five overarching goals to comprehensively address the housing needs of Monterey residents and workers.  Appendix A – Sites Inventory: Summarizes the City’s ability to accommodate the RHNA on available land, and the selection of sites that advance Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) federal law requirements.
 Appendix B – Housing Needs Assessment: Presents community demographic information, including both population and household data, to identify Monterey’s housing needs.
 Appendix C – Constraints Analysis: Includes an analysis of constraints to housing production and maintenance in Monterey. Constraints include potential market, governmental, and environmental limitations to meeting the City’s identified housing needs. In addition, an assessment of impediments to fair housing is included, with a fuller analysis of actions needed to comply with AFFH is included in a separate appendix.
 Appendix D – Fair Housing Assessment: Identifies fair housing issues and solutions to meet Monterey’s AFFH mandate.
 Appendix E – Fifth Cycle Housing Accomplishments: Summarizes the City’s achievements in implementing goals, policies, and actions under the previous Housing Element.
 Appendix F – Additional Analysis and Information in Support of Housing Projections:

Includes additional details to demonstrate the viability of sites included on the inventory Council Regular Meeting, 9/19/2023, Item No. 19., Item Page 5, Packet Page 128 of housing sites and the projections for housing development during the 2023-31 period, as well as a letter of intent from the Monterey Peninsula School District.  Appendix G – Outreach Materials: Includes outreach materials, summaries, and a description of how community and stakeholder input has been reflected in the Housing Element.

Additionally, in response to direction from the City Council on June 20, 2023, the sites inventory included in the draft document (Chapter 3) was updated. Together with development proposals currently in the pipeline and new housing units expected to be approved and constructed within the planning period, the inventory has a total projected capacity for 5,802 new housing units, which is sufficient to meet the City’s assessed share of the regional housing need at all income levels with a buffer. The inventory assumes a combination of strategies to ensure the City meets its RHNA obligations, including:
 Infill development on vacant and underutilized properties downtown and along commercial corridors, including North Fremont Street, Garden Road, Lighthouse Avenue, Del Monte Avenue, Munras Avenue, and Abrego Street;  Preparation of a specific plan to guide future residential and mixed-use development in the Fort Ord/Ryan Ranch area, identify infrastructure needs and financing mechanisms, and establish measures to ensure sustainable development and adequate resource protection;
 Facilitating construction of accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and junior ADUs that provide affordable housing options on existing residential properties throughout the community; and
 Development or redevelopment of several larger sites to increase the range of housing options available in Monterey.

Public Comments on Draft Housing Element
Public comments on the Draft Housing Element were received by the Planning Division via email or mail during the public comment period from August 2, 2023 to September 4, 2023, and during the Community Open House on August 7, 2023. A memorandum, dated September 7, 2023 (Attachment 3), presents an overview and summary of comments received during the public review period for the Draft Housing Element, and includes recommendations for potential revisions for consideration of the Planning Commission and City Council before the document is sent to HCD for their 90-day review. Attachments to the memorandum include a matrix summarizing public comments received (note: this matrix includes direct links to all public comments in the attachment), all public comment letters, and a summary of the Community Open House.

The comments could be divided into three categories: property owner requests to be added to the site inventory, key themes, and unique requests.

Property owner requests:

1. Several property owners submitted comment letters or made requests via phone or email to have their properties added to the housing element inventory, including owners of sites downtown, and on North Fremont Street, Lighthouse Avenue, and Garden Road.

All property owners whose sites were included in the draft inventory, whether vacant or Council Regular Meeting, 9/19/2023, Item No. 19., Item Page 6, Packet Page 129 nonvacant, received a formal notification from the City. Additionally, a letter was sent to all property owners with non-vacant sites on the inventory to survey interest in housing development. A full 95 percent of non-vacant owners who responded to the survey expressed interest in developing housing on their sites.

Key comment themes included:

2. Housing at Fort Ord. By far the topic that drew the most comments was housing at Fort Ord. Of the 77 comment letters received, 59 addressed this topic and many participants at the open house meeting also provided feedback on housing at Fort Ord. Notably, a letter from LandWatch expressed concern for the environmental effects of development on the former military base, including the potential for impacts to sensitive biological species, groundwater overdraft, and vehicle miles travelled. The LandWatch letter contends that housing development at Fort Ord is not necessary to achieve RHNA and encourages increasing infill in central parts of Monterey. A total of 56 of the 59 comment letters that referenced housing at Fort Ord were form letters that repeated the assertions made in the LandWatch letter. By contrast, community members who provided comments at the open house meeting expressed strong support for housing at Fort Ord, especially as part of a mixed-use village on the property as envisioned in Program 1-H Fort Ord/Ryan Ranch Specific Plan of the Draft Housing Element. Open House attendees noted that housing at Fort Ord would help create affordable options for people employed at nearby Ryan Ranch, including nurses, medical workers, and administrative staff. Attendees also supported the mixed-use village concept as it would provide restaurants and services close to work for employees at Ryan Ranch, who currently need to drive off-site for lunch during workdays. Mirroring community input collected as part of the communitywide survey this past Spring, options were divided on the topic of housing at Fort Ord.

3. Housing Affordability. Many commenters expressed concern for the high cost of housing in the community and the long waiting list for affordable rental units. Comments of this nature were received both in comment letters and in person at the Open House. To address this issue, commenters expressed support for programs in the Draft Housing Element that seek to facilitate housing construction and promote infill development, affordable ADU/JADU construction, home sharing and tenant matching, and other innovations that increase the range of housing choices available in the community.

Several Open House attendees and several other commenters asked about getting on a list to be notified as new housing becomes available, indicating that a service to connect property managers and prospective tenants such as that envisioned by United Way would be well received.

4. Rental Assistance. Several commenters, including some who attended the Open House and some who submitted letters, expressed support for the Program 4-B, Rental Assistance Pilot Program and encouraged the City to expand it further. Notably, senior renters on a fixed budget expressed anxiety about the continued rise in rents and their ability to keep up with rent increase in the future.

5. Expanding Permit Streamlining. Program 1-D Permit Streamlining Pilot Project in the Draft Housing Element proposes a pilot project to fast-track infill housing development in core areas of the city identified for high-density housing when adequate water supply becomes available. Several commenters suggested that this program could be expanded to cover a wider geographic area than currently proposed and proposed that Council Regular Meeting, 9/19/2023, Item No. 19., Item Page 7, Packet Page 130 the ordinance could identify criteria that mirror those identified in State law for streamlining pursuant to Senate Bill 35 (SB35).

6. Employee Housing and the Business Community. Three letters suggested that additional provisions could be added to the Draft Housing Element to promote the production of housing by the business community, such as an “employer-sponsored housing" program. Such a program would involve a Zoning Code amendment to provide ministerial review of employer-sponsored housing projects subject to objective standards. A letter from CHOMP/Montage requested something similar and City staff has begun a dialog with this major regional employer to understand which sites they may be interested in pursuing and whether an overlay could be a strategy for facilitating the type of housing they envision providing.

7. Parking Requirements. A few commenters suggested that further reductions in parking requirements over and above those proposed in Program 2-E Revise Parking Programs of the Draft Housing Element could be incorporated to provide additional support for development feasibility, particularly in proximity to transit routes. Specifically, Monterey Bay Economic Partnership (MBEP) recommended that Program 2-E be amended to reduce parking requirements for projects developed within ¾ mile of transit routes with service frequency every hour during commute hours. On the other hand, other commenters emphasized the need to ensure adequate parking will be provided as new housing is built, particularly in infill areas and established neighborhoods. Two commenters also suggested that parking reductions could be granted to residential projects that provide bicycle infrastructure on-site.

8. Fire Safe Construction. Some commenters emphasized the need for fire safe construction in new development, including the use of fire-resistant materials and preventative site and building design techniques.

9. Form Based Code. One commenter suggested developing a form-based code, which is a zoning mechanism involving standards that focus on the look of the building and how it interacts with its surroundings, rather than standards for use and density. The commenter suggested that this focus can help allay community concerns and facilitate construction of projects aligned with community expectations.

There were also some Unique Comments

10. One commenter suggested increasing building height limits beyond those currently proposed in the Draft Housing Element in areas such as Alvarado, Lighthouse, North Fremont while also implementing companion policies that control average block heights to help ensure a cohesive design across properties in a given area.

11. MBEP suggested that the City consider a sliding scale for the inclusionary requirement (Program 2-I) rather than a fixed requirement of 10 percent Moderate and 10 percent Low Income in projects of six units or more. The sliding scale or similar mechanism could provide more flexibility and help with the development feasibility for smaller projects.

12. MBEP also recommended that the local density bonus (Program 3-C Local Density Bonus) be applied to parcels of all sizes, not just small sites, scaling it inversely to parcel size to offer more density for smaller projects.

13. MBEP noted that Program 1-I Highway 68 Area Plan Update could be amended to also specifically include coordination with County on infrastructure to serve 50-acre MPUSD site.

Council Regular Meeting, 9/19/2023, Item No. 19., Item Page 8, Packet Page 131 Staff Recommended Revisions to the Draft Housing Element Recommended refinements to the Draft Housing Element for consideration of the Planning Commission and City Council are summarized in Memorandums dated September 7 and September 11, 2023 (Attachments 3 and 4). A brief overview follows:

1. Fort Ord Projections
Staff conducted a review of deed restrictions applicable to properties at Fort Ord. Two of the six parcels within the City of Monterey (APNs 031-191-018-000 and 031-191-019-000) are subject to deed restrictions that require remediation of Munitions and Explosives of Concern (MEC) and reimbursement agreements with federal agencies. These parcels are the northernmost parcels on the site. The timeline for completion of these activities is approximately 60 months, which would mean that housing construction on these sites within the 8-year Housing Element Cycle would be challenging to complete. Accordingly, they have been removed from the inventory and the text of Program 1-H Fort Ord/Ryan Ranch Specific Plan is revised as follows:

Program 1-A Fort Ord/Ryan Ranch Specific Plan. In a community survey conducted for the Housing Element that garnered over 1,050 responses, the former Fort Ord Military Base was the area of the city identified most favorably for new housing to meet current and projected need. Adjacent Ryan Ranch, home to a regional medical center and office park south of the airport, was also ranked highly as a location for new townhomes and apartments by respondents. Integrating new housing into this area would need to be done carefully and in a way that responds to the variety of preferences and concerns that community members expressed through the survey, as described in Chapter 3. Therefore, the City will prepare a specific plan to establish a clear vision for the area and to guide future development and conservation, identify infrastructure needs and financing mechanisms, and establish measures to ensure sustainable development and adequate resource protection. The overarching objective should be to foster the creation of a mixed-use village on a portion of the site to provide housing, jobs, schools, shops, services and recreation for future residents while also preserving carefully selected areas of natural open space and habitat. The Specific Plan should prioritize housing and mixed-use development on any combination of the parcels shown on Map 3-15 Sites Available for Housing. Additionally, given that the City of Monterey is the property owner, incentives should be incorporated to ensure that at least 220 of the new homes planned will be affordable to moderate income households and at least 220 homes will be affordable to lower income households.

2. Add Following Sites to Inventory:
 Add 1045 Cass Street (APN 001-671-003-000) as a pipeline project, assuming a total of 12 MFR units, with 10 Above Moderate, 1 Moderate, and 1 Low Income unit. The project proponent intends to submit a development application to the City in the coming weeks.  Add 465 Tyler Street (APN 001692014000) as a housing opportunity site, assuming this

0.16-acre site develops with 9 units, consistent with realistic capacity projections for other sites in the Alvarado District Downtown.
 Add 2370 North Fremont St (APN 013161028000), In-Shape Fitness as a housing opportunity site. Capacity calculations for this site assume that the existing business and Council Regular Meeting, 9/19/2023, Item No. 19., Item Page 9, Packet Page 132 surface parking lot fronting Casanova Avenue remain, and that redevelopment happens only on the underutilized promotion of the site fronting North Fremont. Accordingly, the revised inventory projects 45 units at densities deemed affordable for lower income households.

3. Employer Sponsored Housing:

Employer Sponsored Housing. The availability and cost of housing is a significant impediment to hiring and retention of employees for Monterey businesses. The Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula (CHOMP) has expressed interest in potentially building employee housing on property they own and other local businesses may also be interested. Therefore, the City will conduct outreach to major employers in the city to gauge interest in employee sponsored housing and discuss potential zoning mechanisms that could facilitate housing development for interested employers. If appropriate, the City will develop an overlay or comparable zoning mechanism to facilitate development of employee housing on properties they own, subject to objective standards.

4. 50-Acre MPUSD Site and Infrastructure:

Highway 68 Area Plan Update. MPUSD owns a vacant 50-acre parcel on relatively flat land, east of Tarpey Flats and south of Highway 68 and the Monterey Regional Airport. The Highway 68 Area Plan envisions a mix of up to 300 low and moderate income housing units on this property if MPUSD declares the property surplus, and the Plan provides policy direction and design guidelines that could serve as a starting point for planning of the site and surroundings.

Through this program, the City will update the Highway 68 Area Plan to facilitate development of mixed income housing along with access and infrastructure improvements on the site. The Highway 68 Area Plan Update should identify portions the site for low-medium density housing, high density housing, and open space preservation, including creation of a parcel or parcels no greater than 10-acres in size for development at densities deemed appropriate to accommodate housing for lower income households; incorporate regulatory or process incentives to facilitate on-site provision of housing for households with limited financial resources; establish a basis for the City, and MPUSD, and Monterey County to jointly pursue an Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District (EIFD) to help fund the cost of infrastructure to support development of the site.

5. Moderate Income Housing Projections
Moderate income RHNA units are those that would be affordable to households making 80-120 percent of the area median income for Monterey County. In many California jurisdictions it is possible to demonstrate that smaller market rate housing units would be affordable to moderate income households on a per square foot basis by linking rents and sales prices that Moderate income households can afford to pay with local market prices. However, given the high demand for housing and the commensurate rents and sales prices in the City of Monterey, this is not possible. Therefore, staff consulted with HCD on September 8, 2023 regarding appropriate methodologies for projecting the realistic capacity for moderate income units.

Based on guidance received from HCD, Table 3-4 in the Draft Housing Element has been revised to show capacity for moderate income housing reflecting the following assumptions:

Council Regular Meeting, 9/19/2023, Item No. 19., Item Page 10, Packet Page 133  30 percent of ADUs and JADUs permitted during the planning period would be affordable to Moderate income households, based on the findings of a statewide ADU affordability study prepared by the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG);  10 percent of the units built on the 50-acre MPUSD property within the Highway 68 Specific Plan area would be affordable to Moderate income households, based on the City's inclusionary requirements to be revised per Program 2-I Inclusionary Zoning;  10 percent of the units projected for Above Moderate sites in infill areas would be affordable to Moderate income households, based on the City's inclusionary requirements to be revised per Program 2-I Inclusionary Zoning;  1 Moderate Income unit will be developed as part of the proposed 1045 Cass Street pipeline project newly added to the inventory based on property owner interest;  220 of the total 1,660 units at Fort Ord would be affordable to Moderate Income households, pursuant to Program 1-H Fort Ord/Ryan Ranch Specific Plan as revised;  Program 3-C Local Density Bonus will be revised to also offer additional bonus density for projects that provide commitments to construct additional Moderate Income units over and above any Moderate units required under the City's Inclusionary Ordinance. It is assumed that this would incentivize an additional 93 moderate income units, which is equivalent to 10 percent of the total number of units projected for Above Moderate sites in infill areas. Accordingly, the text of Program 3-C is revised as follows:

Program 3-C Local Density Bonus. Enact a local density bonus program that offers additional density over the maximum base permitted in the Monterey City Code as an incentive for projects that consolidate small, adjacent lots; and/or develop 2- and 3- bedroom units; and/or commit to additional Moderate Income units over and above any provision of such units required under the City’s Inclusionary Zoning Program. The local density bonus program would complement additional density available to qualifying projects under State Density Bonus law with the objective of addressing particular local constraints and needs. The prevalence of parcels less than 0.5 acres in size in centrally located parts of the city is a constraint on infill development and the city has a relatively high rate of overcrowding, due in part to the fact that a disproportionate share of large households live in poverty.

6. Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing
Appendix D (Fair Housing Assessment) to the Draft Housing Element includes an analysis of existing conditions and trends related to Fair Housing. During the 30-day review period, staff conducted further review of the Appendix and recommends the clarifications and additions shown in track changes in the updated version of the Appendix. In summary, these revisions include:
 Minor text amendments for clarification shown in track changes;  Additional of Section D.6, including a discussion of how buildout of the proposed inventory would improve or exacerbate fair housing conditions in Monterey, pursuant to HCD guidance contained in Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing, Guidance for All Public Entities and for Housing Elements (April 2021); and  Inclusion of a matrix summarizing fair housing issues identified in Appendix D, contributing factors and programs from Chapter 4 Housing Action Plan that address them (Table D-17)

CITY OF MONTEREY

PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES
All California cities and counties are required to have a Housing Element included in their General Plan which
establishes housing objectives, policies, and programs
in response to community housing conditions and needs.

This Housing Element has been prepared to respond to
current and near-term future housing needs in the City of Monterey and provide a framework for the community’s
longer-term approach to addressing its housing needs.

The Housing Element contains goals, updated information, and strategic directions (policies and implementing
actions) that the City is committed to undertaking. Housing affordability in Monterey County and in California is a critical issue. Over the past 30 years, housing costs have ballooned, driven by rising construction costs and land values, and homeownership in Monterey and throughout
Monterey County has become an ever more distant dream
for many people. The typical home value in Monterey in
1 INTRODUCTION
The following are some of the specific purposes of the Housing Element update:

1. Address Regional Housing Needs
Allocation (RHNA). Ensure capacity for the
development of new housing to meet the
RHNA of 3,654 housing units at all income
levels for the 2023-2031 planning period.

2. Provide a Variety of Housing
Opportunities. Provide a variety of housing
opportunities proportionally by income to
accommodate the needs of people who
currently live, work, and go to school in
Monterey, such as elderly residents, large
families, students, teachers, and service
and hospitality workers.

3. Provide Equal Housing Opportunities.

Provide for fair and equal housing
opportunities for all persons, regardless
of protected characteristics, including but
not limited to, age, ancestry, sex, gender,
gender expression, sexual orientation,
religion, disability, family status, race,
creed, color, or national origin.

4. Address Affordable Housing Needs.

Continue existing and develop new
programs and policies to meet the
projected affordable housing need of
extremely low, very low, low, and moderateincome households.

5. Address the Housing Needs of Special
Need Groups. Continue existing and
develop new programs and policies to
August 2022 was more than $1.1 million, an increase of 54 percent over the past decade. The double-edged sword of steep home prices is apparent as subsequent generations are priced out of the local housing market. Similarly,
people who work in Monterey are often forced to live far away where housing is more affordable, and high housing costs have become a significant obstacle to hiring service and hospitality workers, teachers, first responders, and others essential to the community.

This Housing Element touches many aspects of community
life. It builds upon the goals, policies and implementing programs contained in the City’s 2015-2023 Housing
Element and other City policies and practices to address housing needs in the community. The overall focus of the Housing Element is to preserve and enhance community
life, character, and serenity through the provision of
adequate housing opportunities for people at all income levels, while being sensitive to the unique and historic character of Monterey that residents know and love.

Council Regular Meeting, 9/19/2023, Item No. 19., Item Page 24, Packet Page 147 1 Introduction 1-3
meet the projected housing needs of
persons living with disabilities, unhoused
people, elderly residents, students, and
other special needs households in the
community.

6. Remove Potential Constraints to
Housing. Evaluate potential constraints
to housing development and encourage
new housing in locations supported by
existing or planned infrastructure, while
maintaining existing neighborhood
character. Develop programs to help
remove or reduce barriers to the
development of housing for all income
levels.

7. Maintain Existing Housing. Maintain
the existing housing stock to assure
high quality maintenance, safety, and
habitability of existing housing resources.

8. Provide Adequate Housing Sites.

Identify appropriate housing sites within
specified areas that have the potential
to accommodate or are proximate to
transportation, shopping and schools,
and the accompanying zoning required to
accommodate housing development.

9. Promote Sustainability and Energy
Efficiency. Continue to promote
sustainability and energy efficiency in
residential development to lower energy
use through energy-efficient urban
design and through better design and
construction in individual projects.

LEGAL REQUIREMENTS
State law requires each city, town, and county in California to adopt a General Plan containing at least seven elements, including a Housing Element. Regulations regarding
Housing Elements are found in the California Government Code sections 65580-65589. Although the Housing
Element must follow State law, it is by its nature a local document. The focus of the Monterey Housing Element
is on the needs and desires of Monterey residents and
workers as they relate to housing in the community. Within these parameters, the intent of the Element is also to
comply with State law requirements.

Unlike the other mandatory General Plan elements,
the Housing Element requires periodic updating and is
subject to detailed statutory requirements and mandatory review by the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development — HCD. According to State
law, the Housing Element must:
•Provide goals, policies, quantified objectives, and
scheduled programs to preserve, improve and develop
housing.
•Identify and analyze existing and projected housing
needs for all economic segments of the community.
•Identify adequate sites that will be zoned and available within the Housing Element planning period — between
2023 and 2031 — to meet the City’s share of regional
housing needs at all income levels.
•Be submitted to HCD to review and “certify” that the
Housing Element complies with State law.

State law establishes detailed content requirements for Housing Elements and establishes a regional “fair share” approach to distributing housing needs throughout all
communities in the Association of Monterey Bay Area
Governments (AMBAG) region. The law recognizes that
for the private sector and non-profit housing sponsors to address housing needs and demand, local governments
must adopt land use plans and implementing regulations
that provide opportunities for, and do not unduly constrain, housing development.

REGIONAL HOUSING NEEDS ALLOCATION
(RHNA)
Monterey’s Housing Element was last updated in 2015
to plan for the years 2015-2023. This Housing Element
update reflects the RHNA as determined by AMBAG for
the Sixth Cycle Housing Element update, covering the
years 2023-2031. The RHNA is a State-mandated process
intended to ensure every city, town, and county plans
for enough housing production to accommodate future
growth. HCD assigns each region of the state an overall RHNA allocation. For the three-county Monterey Bay
region, which includes Monterey, San Benito, and Santa
Cruz counties, AMBAG distributes a “fair share” portion of that allocation to each local jurisdiction. Each city and county must then identify adequate sites with a realistic capacity for development sufficient to meet this RHNA.

For the 2023-2031 period, Monterey must identify sites
sufficient to accommodate 3,654 new housing units
between 2023 and 2031, with a specific number of units
designated as affordable to each income category, as
shown in Table 1-1. The RHNA does not specifically break down the need for extremely-low-income households. As
provided by State law, the housing needs of extremelylow-income households, or those making less than 30 percent of area median income (AMI), is estimated as 50 percent of the very-low-income housing need. More detail on the RHNA allocation process is described in Chapter 3 as well as in Appendix C.

Various amendments have been made to Housing Element
law since adoption of the 2015-23 Housing Element,
especially since 2017. Some of the key changes for 6th
cycle RHNA and Housing Element update include:
•Assembly Bill (AB) 72 (2017), codified in Government
Code section 65585, provides additional authority to
State HCD to scrutinize housing elements and enforce
housing element noncompliance and other violations
of state housing laws.
•AB 879 (2017), which amended Government Code
sections 65400, 65583, and 65700 and Health and
Safety Code section 50456, and AB 1397 (2017),
which amended Government Code sections 65580,
65583, and 65583.2, require additional analysis and
justification of sites listed on a local government’s
housing sites inventory, additional explanation of the
realistic capacity of those listed sites, and further
scrutiny of governmental and nongovernmental
constraints that limit the production of housing.
•AB 686 (2018), which amended Government
Code sections 65583 and 65583.2, requires local
governments to Affirmatively Further Fair Housing
(AFFH) by including in revised housing elements (1) an
assessment of fair housing; (2) equitable distribution
of housing to meet the needs of households at
all income levels and dismantle segregated living
patterns with integrated and balanced living patterns;
(3) policies and programs that address fair housing
barriers and promote fair housing patterns; and (4) a
comprehensive, collaborative, accessible, inclusive,
and equity-driven public engagement approach.
•AB 215 (2021), which amended Government Code
section 65585, ex tends the housing element
compliance review process by requiring local
governments to make draft housing elements available
for public review prior to submittal to State HCD rather than conducting concurrent review. The draft must
be made publicly available for at least 30 days, and
the local government must consider and incorporate
public comment for at least 10 business days, before
sending the draft to State HCD. AB 215 also increased
State HCD’s review period of the first draft element
submittal from 60 to 90 days and within 60 days of its
receipt for a subsequent draft amendment or adoption.

However, the January 31, 2023, statutory deadline
remains the same, even as these new requirements
have significantly added to the time a city needs to
complete the overall housing element update process.
•AB 1398 (2021), which amended Government Code
sections 65583, 65583.2, and 65588, revises the
consequences for local governments that do not meet
the deadline for housing element adoption. Local
governments must complete rezoning no later than
one year from the statutory deadline for adoption of
the housing element if that jurisdiction fails to adopt a housing element that State HCD has found to be in
substantial compliance with state law within 120 days
of the statutory deadline. The City retains the threeyear rezoning period if the housing element is adopted within 120 days of the statutory deadline.
•AB 1304 (2021), which amended Government Code
sections 8899.50, 65583, and 65583.2, clarifies that
a public agency has a mandatory duty to comply with
existing Housing Element Affirmatively Furthering Fair
Housing (AFFH) requirements. AB 1304 revises the
items to be included in AFFH analysis and requires that analysis to be done in a specified manner. In addition, the housing inventory must analyze the relationship of
the sites identified in the inventory to the city’s duty to affirmatively further fair housing.

The contents of this Housing Element comply with these
amendments and all other requirements of Housing
Element law.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) will be prepared to identify and mitigate any significant adverse environmental effects that could result from implementation of the 2023- 31 City of Monterey Housing Element. Consistent with
the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), a Notice of Preparation (NOP) of an EIR
was circulated to invite comments from public agencies
and interested community members to scope content
of issues and alternatives that should be considered in the EIR. A public review Draft EIR will be released in Fall 2023, reflecting comments on the NOP. The Final EIR,
responding to public comments on the Draft EIR will be
released in early 2024.

PROCESS FOR UPDATING THE

HOUSING ELEMENT
The 2023-31 Housing Element is a comprehensive update
to the Housing Element of the General Plan, undertaken
to accommodate the City’s share of the regional housing need and address new State law. Amid the ongoing
housing shortage in California, Monterey is required by law to plan for 3,654 new housing units over the next
8 years. As a community with few vacant lots, steep
topography, airport safety zones, and significant areas of flood, wildfire, and liquefaction risk, accommodating new housing will require a thoughtful approach that integrates new homes to serve local needs while preserving the
unique and historic sense of place so important to our
community.

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
Community involvement is an integral component of the
Housing Element process. The City of Monterey employed
a range of public outreach and engagement strategies to solicit meaningful community input that has informed the 2023-2031 Housing Element. These strategies included
targeted community listening sessions, an online survey, a youth-led survey, decision-maker meetings, and pop-up outreach at popular locations around town as well as
ongoing communication with the community online at
the project’s website. Details of outreach activities and community input are included in Appendix G, together
with a summary of how feedback is reflected in the
Housing Element. A summary of these engagement
activities is described below:
•Web and Social Media – At the outset of the process,
a webpage was created on Have Your Say Monterey
website to serve as a one-stop information portal for
the Housing Element Update. The webpage provided
contextual information on legal requirements and key
concepts and housed draft documents for public review.

Updated content was posted to the City website and on
social media regularly to keep the community informed
of progress.
•Citywide Mailers - The City sent postcards to every
household in Monterey at two key points in the process
to help raise awareness of the project and the process
and keep community members informed of status
and key dates. The mailers announced the dates/
times of community open house meetings and invited
participation in the community online survey.
•Focus Group Discussions - The City hosted a series
of listening sessions with property owners, community
group representatives, local architects, and others to
gather information on housing needs and preferences,
as well as opportunities and constraints to residential development in Monterey. In total, 12 listening sessions were held over the course of December 6-8, 2022, at
the Monterey Conference Center. Participants included
representatives from Monterey Unified School District,
Monterey Bay Aquarium, Naval Postgraduate School,
U.S. Army (Defense Language Institute), hospitality
and service employers, downtown property owners,
architects who have designed/built ADUs in Monterey,
and residents. Participant feedback from these groups
helped inform a program of actions in the Housing
Element.

CITY OF MONTEREY
•Community Online Survey – In order to gather
community input to inform updates to the Housing
Element, an online survey was conducted March 1,
2023, to April 30, 2023. The survey provided residents
with an opportunity to help identify and evaluate
strategies for accommodating and encouraging new
housing to serve local needs to help the City meet the
legal requirements for the Housing Element. The survey
was also promoted via the City’s website and email
blasts to community members, citywide mailers to all
households in Monterey, as well as newspaper. In total, 1,050 respondents participated in the survey.
•Public Review Period - The Draft Housing Element was
released for a 30-day public review period on August 2, 2023 to provide the community with an opportunity to
ask questions and comment on the public review draft.

During the public comment period, a community open
house will be held on August 7, 2023 at the Monterey
Conference Center. The date and time will be noticed
with a direct mailer to every household in Monterey,
an email blast to the community, social media, and an
announcement on the City’s website.
•Decision-Maker Review – A series of study sessions
before the Planning Commission and City Council were
held as the components of the Housing Element were
developed and refined, to provide additional opportunity for public input and decision-maker review. Upon close
of the public review period, the Draft Housing Element
and public comments will be presented to the City
Council.
•Pop-Up Outreach - Using a “go to them” strategy to
raise awareness of the project and provide community
members with additional in-person opportunities for
input, City staff conducted pop up events in March and
April 2023 at locations where community members
gather, such as the Del Monte Farmer’s Market,
Monterey Public Library, Captain + Stoker Coffee
Roasters, and the Alvarado Farmer’s Market. The events
were structured as “chalk board chats” that provided
community members with opportunities to learn about
the project and share quick feedback. The events were
also an opportunity to hand out postcards advertising
the community online survey.

ORGANIZATION OF THE HOUSING

ELEMENT
The Housing Element is an integrated part of the General Plan, published under separate cover. It is an eight-year plan that is updated more frequently than other General Plan elements to ensure its relevancy and accuracy.

The Housing Element consists of the following major
components organized as described below:
•Chapter 1 - Introduction: An introduction to the
purpose of the document and the legal requirements
for a Housing Element, together with an overview of the community and the community involvement process.
•Chapter 2 – Community Profile: Documents population
characteristics, housing characteristics, and current
development trends to inform the current housing state
of Monterey and to identify community needs.
•Chapter 3 – Adequate Sites for Housing: An inventory of adequate sites suitable for construction of new housing sufficient to meet needs at all economic levels.
•Chapter 4 - Housing Action Plan: Articulates housing
goals, policies, and programs to address the City’s
identified housing needs, including those of special
needs groups and the findings of an analysis of fair
housing issues in the community. This Housing Element
identifies a foundational framework of five overarching goals to comprehensively address the housing needs of
Monterey residents and workers.
•Appendix A – Sites Inventory: Summarizes the City’s
ability to accommodate the RHNA on available land,
and the selection of sites that advance Affirmatively
Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) federal law requirements. •Appendix B – Housing Needs Assessment: Presents
community demographic information, including both
population and household data, to identify Monterey’s
housing needs.
•Appendix C – Constraints Analysis: Includes an analysis of constraints to housing production and maintenance
in Monterey. Constraints include potential market,
governmental, and environmental limitations to meeting
the City’s identified housing needs. In addition, an
assessment of impediments to fair housing is included,
with a fuller analysis of actions needed to comply with AFFH is included in a separate appendix.
•Appendix D – Fair Housing Assessment: Identifies fair
housing issues and solutions to meet Monterey’s AFFH
mandate.
•Appendix E - Fifth Cycle Housing Element
Accomplishments: Summarizes the City’s achievements
in implementing goals, policies, and actions under the
previous Housing Element.
•Appendix F – Additional Analysis and Information in
Support of Housing Projections: Includes additional
details to demonstrate the viability of sites included on the inventory of housing sites and the projections for
housing development during the 2023-31 period, as
well as a letter of interest from the Monterey Peninsula Unified School District.
•Appendix G – Outreach Materials: Includes outreach
materials, summaries, and a description of how
community and stakeholder input has been reflected in
the Housing Element.

1.1 GENERAL PLAN

CONSISTENCY
State law requires that the General Plan and all its
elements comprise an integrated, internally consistent, and compatible statement of policies. The City of
Monterey General Plan was adopted in 2005, and the
Housing Element, published under separate cover, was
certified and adopted in 2015.

The Sixth Cycle Housing Element Update is consistent
with the Monterey General Plan, which seeks to encourage housing, including mixed-use housing to meet the needs
of business (Economic Element Goal D), as well as
preserve existing and encourage development of new
family housing in Monterey (Social Element Policy a.1). In 2022, the Monterey County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard
Mitigation Plan was approved by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) on September 14, 2022.

The Plan implements the FEMA’s Mitigation Planning
regulations (44 Code of Federal Regulations, Part 201), the federal Disaster Mitigation Act of 2000, and the Floodplain Management Plan requirements of FEMA’s Community
Rating System (CRS). The City is required to have a FEMA‐ approved hazard mitigation plan to be eligible for disaster recovery assistance and mitigation funding.

In parallel with the Sixth Cycle Housing Element Update, the City has initiated an update to the Safety Element
of the Monterey General Plan, which is anticipated for
adoption later in 2023. The updated Safety Element will incorporate new data, information, and maps related to
flooding, sea level rise, tsunamis, wildfires, landslides, and seismic hazards, as well as the findings of an emergency evacuation capacity analysis being conducted by the City to inform the Safety Element Update.

This Sixth Cycle Housing Element builds upon the City’s current, adopted General Plan and is consistent with its goals, policies, and implementation actions. Through the implementation of a program in this Housing Element, the City will continue to review the General Plan and Housing Element annually for internal consistency as amendments are proposed and adopted.

CITY OF MONTEREY
Monterey is a coastal community of about 28,000
residents with a rich historic background and a distinctive small-town feel. The city occupies 8.67 square miles of land between the southern shore of Monterey Bay and the forested ridgeline of the foothills, bordered by the City of Pacific Grove to the northwest and the City of Seaside to the east. Known for its stunning natural scenery and worldrenowned attractions like the Monterey Bay Aquarium, tourism is a pillar of the local economy. Monterey is
also home to four educational institutions – U.S. Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey Peninsula College,
Middlebury Institute of International Studies, and the
U.S. Army Defense Language Institute Foreign Language
Center – and its enviable quality of life continues to make the community an attractive place to live.

This community profile documents population and
housing characteristics, economic conditions, and current development trends to highlight community housing needs as well as issues and opportunities related to housing
production. For a more detailed analysis of local housing needs, please see Appendix B: Housing Needs Assessment. 2 COMMUNITY PROFILE

EXISTING LAND USE PATTERN AND
USES
The City of Monterey is the third most populous
jurisdiction in Monterey County, behind Salinas and
Seaside. The city is largely developed with singlefamily homes, multi-family apartments, military and educational facilities, commercial corridors, and parks, with little vacant parcels throughout. The single largest land use category in Monterey is public/semi-public at
1,876.8 acres, which encompasses all publicly owned
facilities and private facilities operated to serve the general public. Included in this category are public
schools, military facilities, airport, and cemetery.

Single-family residential accounts for 991.7 acres of
land use in City, while multi-family residential covers about 387.5 acres. Parks and recreation uses occupy
617.5 acres, commercial uses occupy 428.8 acres, and
industrial uses occupy 112.8 acres.

Location and Context

LOCATION AND ACCESS
The City of Monterey is located in northern Monterey
County about 19 miles west of Salinas, 29 miles north of Big Sur, and 115 miles south of San Francisco, as shown in Map 2-1. Covering an area of approximately 8.67 square
miles, excluding 3.5 square miles of water area in the
Monterey Bay, the City is largely a built-out community beside the bay, framed by a forested hill backdrop and
rich historical background. Highway access is provided by California State Route 1 (SR1), a north-south highway that runs through the center of Monterey, as well as California State Route 68 (SR68), an east-west highway that serves as a major route between Salinas and Monterey Peninsula.

Monterey-Salinas Transit (MST) provides connections at
the Monterey Transit Plaza to the Salinas Transit Center as well as other surrounding cities such as Pacific Grove, Carmel Valley, Seaside, and Marina.

CITY OF MONTEREY

NATURAL RESOURCES AND

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSTRAINTS
Natural resources are an integral part of the city’s
setting, economy, and physical development. Monterey
features an array of natural habitats and protected areas that are home to abundant wildlife, from the coastal
beaches, rocky bluffs, and sand dunes, the marine life in the Monterey Harbor and federally protected Monterey
Bay National Marine Sanctuary, to upland oak and
pine forests and chaparral habitats. While the natural
setting of Monterey helps define the character of the
community, it also holds potential for natural hazards
that pose risk to human life and property. As shown
in Map 2-2, upland areas in the south and southwest
of the city are classified as Very High Fire Hazard
Severity Zones by California Department of Forestry
and Fire Protection (CALFire), based on the presence
of vegetation that is highly flammable and extremely
dry during the summer months. There are areas of
high liquefaction risk along the course of creeks that
drain from the hills to the Monterey Bay, and there
is an area of high landslide susceptibility in the hills near Fisherman’s Flats Greenbelt. Low lying areas of
Downtown and along Del Monte Avenue are subject
to flooding and coastal inundation. Coastal erosion is
common along much of the Monterey coastline, which
could increase with sea level rise. Careful consideration of environmental constraints was vital in selecting and allocating adequate sites for all income categories in
Monterey’s inventory.

Population Characteristics

POPULATION TRENDS
According to the California Department of Finance (DOF), the total population of the City of Monterey in 2020 was 28,304, an increase of 2.3 percent since 2010 (27,810).

As shown in Table 2-1, AMBAG projects that by 2040
the population of the city will increase approximately 10 percent from the 2010 reported Census population. The
AMBAG projections show a slightly higher population in
2020 than the U.S. Census count (28,575).

RACE AND ETHNICITY
Understanding the racial and ethnic makeup of Monterey
and the region can be important for designing and
implementing effective housing policies and programs.

Throughout the U.S., past practices - including
exclusionary zoning, discriminatory lending practices,
and urban renewal projects - have historically impeded
fair access to housing for certain ethnic groups and the legacy of these actions continues to impact communities of color today.

Chart 2-1 presents the racial and ethnic composition of the City of Monterey’s population in 2010 and 2020, as
reported in American Community Survey five-year data
(for 2010 and 2020). Since 2010, Monterey has seen an
increase in its Hispanic or Latinx population from 14.2 percent to 17 percent, making it the city’s second largest Chart 2-1: Population by Race in

CITY OF MONTEREY
racial or ethnic group. The largest racial or ethnic group remains White, at 67.7 percent in 2020, down from 69
percent in 2010. In 2020, non-Hispanic Black and NonHispanic Asian populations stayed the same in their share of the city’s overall population at 3.6 percent and 6 percent, respectively.

AGE
Current and future housing needs are typically determined in part by the age characteristics of a community’s
residents. Each age group has distinct lifestyles, family type and size, incomes, and housing preferences.

Consequently, evaluating the age characteristics of a
community is important in determining its housing needs.

The city’s median age is 36.9, which is 2.2 years older than Monterey County’s median age of 34.7. A review of data on population by age in the city since 2010 indicates that while the share of residents 34 years and younger has remained relatively stable over time, the share of residents aged 35-54 has dropped by 10.8 percent (Chart 2-2). By contrast, the fastest growing segment of the population is the cohort aged 55 years and over, which grew by 14 percent between 2010 and 2019. Older adult residents are considered a
special needs housing group because they tend to live on fixed incomes and have requirements for aging in place.

GENDER
In 2020, there were 28,304 residents in Monterey. Femaleheaded families, including those with children, are identified as a special needs group in State law because they are more likely to be supporting a household with
one income, increasing the probability the household is low-income and housing cost-burdened. In Monterey,
there are approximately twice as many female-headed
households (725) as there are male-headed households
(357). Female-headed households represent about 5.8
percent of owner-occupied households and 5.9 percent
of renter-occupied households. Approximately 24 percent of female-headed households have children.

INCOME
Household income is one of the most significant factors affecting housing choice and opportunity. Income largely determines a household’s ability to purchase or rent
housing. While higher-income households have more
discretionary income to spend on housing, lower- and
moderate-income households are limited in the range of
housing they can afford. Typically, as household income decreases, cost burdens and overcrowding increase.

For the purpose of evaluating housing affordability,
housing need, and eligibility for housing assistance,
income levels are defined by guidelines adopted each
year by the California State Department of Housing and
Community Development (HCD). For Monterey County,
the applicable Area Median Income (AMI) for a family
of four in 2023 is $100,400. This is an increase of 46.1 percent from the 2014 median income of $68,700. HUD
has defined the following income categories, based on the median income for a household of four persons for 2023:
•Extremely low-income: 30 percent of AMI and below
($0 to $36,100)
•Very low-income: 31 to 50 percent of AMI
($36,101 to $60,200)
•Low-income: 51 to 80 percent of AMI
($60,201 to $96,350)
•Moderate-income: 81 to 120 percent of AMI
($96,350 to $100,400)
•Above moderate-income: 120 percent or more of AMI
($100,401 or more)
A full 62 percent of households in the City of Monterey make more than 100 percent of AMI, more than in
Monterey County as a whole (51 percent). Correspondingly, the share of moderate- and lower-income households is
lower in the city than in the county. In the City of Monterey, extremely low-income households account for 7.8 percent, very low-income households account for 7 percent, and
low-income households account for 14.2 percent in the
City of Monterey.

Putting a face to these income categories, the starting salary for teachers with the Monterey Peninsula Unified School District is $55,048 annually1 while the average
annual salary for law enforcement officers on the
Monterey Peninsula is $70,347,2 meaning single people
working in these professions are classified as low-income households. The average annual salary for service
workers employed in food preparation and hospitalityrelated occupations is $30,7742, and those employed in healthcare support occupations earn $31,1572 on

chronic shortage of housing to meet the needs of the local workforce, lower income households on the Monterey
Peninsula experience significant housing related
challenges. When housing is unaffordable, cost burdens
and overcrowding increase. This displays the affordability crisis in Monterey, as it is becoming a challenge for
essential employees to afford to live and stay in Monterey.

EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT
As shown in Chart 2-3, the share of the population age
25 and over in Monterey who held a high school diploma
or higher was 94.3 percent in 2020. About 55.7 percent
of the population in Monterey holds a bachelor’s degree or higher. The share of the population with a bachelor’s degree or higher has grown steadily in Monterey, from

48.3 percent in 2012 to 55.7 percent in 2020.

CITY OF MONTEREY
•Female-headed Households. There are approximately
twice as many female-headed households (725) as
there are male-headed households (357) in Monterey.

Female-headed households represented about 5.8
percent of owner-occupied households and 5.9 percent
of renter-occupied households. Approximately 24
percent of female-headed households have children.
•Large Households. In comparison to surrounding
jurisdictions, Monterey has a much smaller proportion
of large family households. About 4 percent of
households in Monterey are considered large
households, while 19.7 percent in Monterey County
are considered large households. Of the large families
in Monterey, approximately 19 percent are considered
extremely low- or very low-income households.
•Persons Experiencing Homelessness. The Salinas,
Monterey, and San Benito Counties Point in Time count
in 2022 found a total of 2,404 people experiencing
homelessness, of whom 779 were sheltered homeless
persons and 1,625 were unsheltered homeless
persons. The City of Monterey has seen a 70 percent
decrease in homelessness between 2017 and 2022
from 338 to 101 individuals.
• Farmworkers. The number of permanent and seasonal
farm workers in Monterey County has both increased
and decreased respectively from 2002 to 2017. From
2012 to 2017, the permanent farm worker population
has decreased, totaling 14,806 in 2017; while the
number of seasonal farm workers has also decreased
during this time, totaling 12,123 in 2017. Farmworkers
predominantly live in the Salinas Valley, near the
agricultural fields.
•Students. City of Monterey has a sizeable student
population, with a substantial portion of these students being associated with the military. The city has four
advanced education institutions, which include U.S.

Naval Post Graduate School (NPS), U.S. Army Defense
Language Institute/Foreign Language Center (DLI),
Middlebury Institute of International Studies, and
Monterey Peninsula College.

SPECIAL NEEDS GROUPS
Certain groups have greater difficulty in finding suitable affordable housing due to their special needs and
circumstances. This may be a result of employment and
income, family characteristics, disability, or household characteristics. Consequently, certain residents in the City of Monterey may experience more instances of housing
cost burdens, overcrowding, or other housing problems.

The categories of special needs that must be addressed
by law in the Housing Element include:
•Extremely-Low-Income Households. About 8.6
percent of Monterey households fall below 30
percent of AMI. American Indian or Alaska Native
(non-Hispanic) households are most likely to fall below 30 percent AMI at 50 percent, meanwhile Asian (nonHispanic) and Hispanic or Latinx households represent

15.6 percent and 15.5 percent of extremely low-income
households, respectively. Households that identify
as White (non-Hispanic) and Other or Multiple Races
(non-Hispanic) have the lowest prevalence of extremely
low-income households at 7 percent and 0 percent
respectively.
•Older Adult Households. There are 5,280 older adults
(ages 65+) in Monterey, which accounts for 19 percent
of the total population. Older adult renters are much
more likely to fall into the extremely low-income (0 to 30 percent of AMI) or very low-income (31 to 50 percent
of AMI) categories than older adults who own their
homes. Among renters with at least one older adult
aged 62 and over in the household, 21 percent are
considered extremely low-income.
•Persons with Disabilities. In Monterey, an estimated
4,543 persons have a disability (about 19 percent of
non-institutionalized population). The most prevalent
disability among civilian population aged 18 and over
was ambulatory difficulty3
at 4.8 percent.
3 Ambulatory difficulty refers to having serious difficulty walking or climbing stairs.
•Miliary Employers and Veterans. Monterey is home to
NPS and DLI. As a result, there is a large population of service members living in Monterey that are associated
with DLI and NPS. While there are family housing
communities within both NPS and DLI that account for
2,580 housing units with various amenities, the military community serves 4,000-plus population of service
members and their families.
•Group Quarters Populations. Group quarters are
places where people live or stay in a group living
arrangement that are owned or managed by an
organization providing housing and/or services for the
residents, such as college residence halls, residential treatment centers, skilled-nursing facilities, group
homes, military barracks, correctional facilities, and
workers’ dormitories. The largest group quarter
population in Monterey are those living in military
quarters, coming in at 82 percent, about 3,580
residents.

Housing Market Characteristics

EXISTING TYPOLOGIES
Today Monterey has a variety of housing types, with
single-family detached homes, apar tments, and
condominiums in residential neighborhoods, and multifamily complexes downtown and along key commercial corridors, including North Fremont Street and Lighthouse Avenue. As shown on Chart 2-4, there is a relatively even balance of single-family (49.3 percent) and multi-family homes (50.6 percent) in the community. Increasingly,
Monterey is seeing the construction of accessory dwelling units (ADUs) - sometimes called “granny flats” or “in-law units” - in established residential neighborhoods. These smaller homes typically cost less to build, buy, or rent, and as such they can offer affordable opportunities for older adults living on fixed incomes, for students and young
people, and for lower income households. While this data from the California Department of Finance (DOF) notes the housing stock consists of 0.3 percent mobile homes, as of 2023 there are no mobile home parks in Monterey.4

AGE OF HOUSING STOCK
The condition of the housing stock, including the age of buildings and units that may be in substandard condition, is also an important consideration in a community’s
housing needs. In Monterey, about 72.9 percent of the
housing stock was constructed prior to 1980 and is over 40 years old. About 7.3 percent of the housing stock
has been constructed since 2000, with only 3 percent
constructed since 2010. See Chart 2-5 for the age of
Monterey’s housing stock as of 2020.

CITY OF MONTEREY
TENURE
Tenure refers to whether a house is rented or
owned. Compared to Monterey County, the rate of
homeownership in the city is substantially lower and
the rate of renting is substantially higher. In the City, the number of owner-occupied housing units decreased by
4 percent from 2000 to 2020 (Chart 2-6). As a result, the number of renter-occupied housing units increased by
4 percent from 2000 to 2020. Overall, as of 2020, renteroccupied units account for 65.7 percent, while owneroccupied units account for 34.3 percent in Monterey.

AFFORDABILITY
The most commonly used definition of affordable housing comes from the federal Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD). According to HUD, affordable
housing means housing for which the occupants are
paying no more than 30 percent of their income for gross housing costs, including utilities. Monterey has seen a dramatic increase in housing costs in recent years. As
shown in Chart 2-7, home values in the city increased
by 97 percent between 2011 and 2022. Rental prices
increased by 50.8 percent between 2010 and 2020.

Housing costs are significantly higher in the city than in Monterey County. Given the prevailing rent and home
sales prices in the city, home ownership is exclusive to all income groups earning moderate-income and below.

In Monterey, 22.7 percent of households (2,659
households in total) are cost burdened (meaning they
spend 30 to 50 percent of their income on housingrelated costs), while 21.1 percent (2,480 households in total) are severely cost burdened (spend more than 50
percent of their income on housing) (Chart 2-8). Further, renters are particularly impacted by cost burden, as,
unlike homeowners, they cannot build equity with their
homes. Renters in Monterey tend to have higher rates of cost burden than owners – for instance, 52.3 percent of all renters experience some level of cost burden while only

30.1 percent of owners do.

EMPLOYMENT TYPES
According to the American Community Survey, there are
13,550 people in the labor force in the City of Monterey as of 2020. As seen in Chart 2-9, the largest industry
sector represented among the City’s working residents
is Health and Educational Services (26.7 percent),
which is a greater share of the workforce represented
in the industry compared to the county (20.3 percent).

Financial and Professional Services is the second largest represented amount Monterey working residents (22
percent). Compared to Monterey County, the number
of residents employed in the Agriculture and Natural
Resources industry account for significantly less of the City’s employment distribution (2 percent) than that of the county (16 percent).

MAJOR EMPLOYERS
Table 2-2 provides an overview of the major employers in Monterey. The following three major employers provide
the largest employment base for residents and nonresidents of the city: Community Hospital of Monterey Peninsula (CHOMP), Naval Postgraduate School, and
Defense Language Institute, aligning with the largest
industry sector presented in Chart 2-5, Health &
Educational Services. All three major employers have
an employment base of about 1,000 to 4,999 people,
according to the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report
for Fiscal Year 2022. Additionally, Monterey is well-known for its hospitality and tourism industry, where four hotels and the Monterey Bay Aquarium are major employers.

COMMUTING TRENDS
U.S. Census Bureau OnTheMap tool displays where
workers are employed and where they live. As shown on
Map 2-3, the U.S. Census identified 20,743 workers in the City of Monterey in 2020, of whom 18,082 commute from
outside of the city, which represents 87.2 percent of the total worker population. Approximately 2,661 people both live and work in Monterey, which accounts for only 12.8 percent of total worker population. About 7,247 workers who live in Monterey commute outside of the city for work.

This means almost three times the number of workers
commute out of Monterey compared to those who live and
work in the city. Additionally, more than double the number of workers commute into Monterey as compared to those
who live in Monterey and commute out of the city to work.

During the 2010 to 2023 period, the city saw development of only 241 new homes, as shown on Table 2-3. This is
due in large part to limits on housing production linked to the availability of water supply, as the State of California, State Water Resources Control Board, has issued a Ceaseand-Desist Order for any new water hookups or increased water use. The restrictions are in place to limit the
amount of water taken from the Carmel River to protect
critical habitat and endangered species; however, these restrictions have also effectively halted the development of housing in the region and severely impacted the
development of workforce housing, resulting in workers
who work on the Monterey Peninsula living far outside the community and enduring long and expensive commutes.

Recognizing that an adequate supply of affordably
priced housing is critical for the economic and social
sustainability of the community, the City has put in place a range of regulatory programs that seeks to foster
the development of housing options for lower income
households. These regulations include:
•Inclusionary zoning, which requires new development
projects of six units or more to make at least 20 percent of the units affordable for low and moderate income
households;
•A density bonus program, that offers developers
increased density above the maximum allowed in the
Zoning Ordinance in exchange for a making a certain
percentage of the new units available at below market
rate rents;
•An ADU ordinance, which establishes streamlined
permitting procedures to facilitate construction of
ADUs and junior ADUs;
•A short-term rental prohibition, which makes it illegal to rent a house for a period of less than 30 days in
Monterey to help ensure that housing remains available
for those who live and work in the community.

Housing Programs Office
The City’s Housing Programs Office also manages over
500 affordable, deed-restricted single-family homes and apartments, ensuring they continue to be affordable
for renters and first-time home buyers for generations
to come. Additionally, the City has taken action to
reduce homelessness and increase housing security
for all residents of the community with the provision of emergency rental assistance during the COVID pandemic
and by funding A Safe Place, a comprehensive program
for at-risk homeless youth between ages of 18 and
24 years old, and Casa de Noche Buena, a shelter for
women and families. The Monterey Police Department’s
Multi-Disciplinary Outreach Team (MDOT) works side-byside with various governmental and non-governmental organizations to offer, provide and find solutions for those who are unhoused. In the most recent “point-in-time”
homeless count, there was a 50 percent decrease in the
number of homelessness in the city between 2019 and
2022, the largest decrease of any community in Monterey County.

Chapter 4, Housing Action Plan, includes a suite of goals, policies, and implementing programs that build on the
foundation of Monterey’s existing housing policies and
programs to address local housing needs, reduce barriers to housing development, and affirmatively further fair
housing practices.

CITY OF MONTEREY
The Housing Element is a component of the General Plan
which guides planning for housing to meet the current
and projected needs of all households in the community.

This chapter summarizes the various resources available for the preservation, improvement, and development
of housing in Monterey. The analysis includes an
evaluation of the availability of land resources available to accommodate the City’s share of the region’s future
housing needs, as well as the administrative resources
available to assist in implementing the City’s housing
programs and policies, and the financial resources
available to support housing activities.

Land Resources
Government Code (GC) Section 65583(a)(3) requires local governments to prepare an inventory of land suitable for residential development, including vacant sites and sites with the potential for redevelopment. The inventory must identify specific parcels that are available for residential development and be accompanied by an analysis of
public facilities and services capacity to serve the
identified sites. Further, the inventory must have sufficient capacity to accommodate the jurisdiction’s share of the regional housing need, as determined by applicable
the metropolitan planning organization, in this case
Association of Monterey Bay Area Governments (AMBAG).

This section presents the City’s inventory, identifying sites available for residential development and their realistic capacity for housing. It identifies planned and recently approved residential projects in Monterey and it details the process for identifying suitable sites, the methodology for calculating capacity, and the availability of public facilities and services available to serve new housing. 3 ADEQUATE SITES FOR HOUSING
•Sites owned or leased by a city, town, or county
•Sites zoned for nonresidential use that can be
redeveloped for residential use and a program is
included in the Housing Element to rezone the
site to permit residential use within three years of
adoption.

Further, State law stipulates criteria for the adequacy of sites included on the inventory, including that they be zoned to accommodate housing, have appropriate
development standards, and be served by public
facilities as needed to facilitate the development of
a variety of housing products suitable for all income
levels. Vacant sites included on the prior period
inventory and non-vacant sites included on prior
inventories in two or more consecutive planning
periods cannot be carried forward to the current
planning period to satisfy the need for housing

LEGAL REQUIREMENTS FOR INVENTORY

AND SITES
State law requires that a community identify an adequate number of sites to accommodate and facilitate production of the City’s regional share of housing. To determine
whether the City has sufficient land to accommodate its share of regional housing needs for all income groups,
the City must identify “adequate sites.” Land considered suitable for residential development includes the
following:
•Vacant sites zoned for residential use.
•Vacant sites zoned for nonresidential use that allow
residential development.
•Residentially zoned sites that are capable of being
developed at a higher density (non-vacant sites,
including underutilized sites).

affordable to lower income households unless they are
rezoned to allow residential use by right at the default density for the jurisdiction, which in Monterey’s case is 20 dwelling units per acre.

Additional suitability criteria apply to sites identified to accommodate lower income RHNA, including that
they be of appropriate size, be free from environmental constraints, be zoned to accommodate housing, have
appropriate development standards, and be served by
public facilities. The intent of these criteria is to help ensure that sites identified for lower income RHNA
are viable candidates for housing and can be feasibly
developed in the near term. In view of feasibility
considerations, parcels that are less than 0.5 acres in size are generally not considered suitable for lower income
housing development as smaller parcels may not allow
development of a sufficient number of units for proposed affordable housing projects to compete effectively for
limited funding resources. Parcels larger than 10 acres in size are also not considered suitable by HCD as
development of very large projects may lead to an over
concentration of affordable housing in one location or may render proposed affordable housing projects ineligible for funding.

REGIONAL HOUSING NEEDS ALLOCATION
The Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) is the
total number of new housing units that the City must plan to accommodate in the 2023-31 planning period. RHNA is
split into four categories representing different levels of affordability, based on median income level in the county.

RHNA is established through the following process:
the California Department of Housing and Community
Development (HCD) first determines the estimated
need for new housing in each region of California for the planning period, based on population projections and
other factors including rates of vacancy, overcrowding, and cost-burden. Each regional planning agency then
allocates a target to each city or town within its jurisdiction, considering factors such as access to jobs, good schools, and healthy environmental conditions. For the Monterey
Bay Area, AMBAG developed and refined a methodology
for 2023-31 RHNA allocations with input from local
jurisdictions. The AMBAG Regional Council adopted
the 6th Cycle Final RHNA Allocation, Methodology, and
Regional Housing Needs Determinations on October 12,
2022. Monterey’s Regional Housing Needs Assessment
(RHNA) allocation for the 2023-31 planning period has
been determined by ABAG to be 3,654 housing units,
including 1,177 units for very low-income households, 769 units for low-income households, 462 units for moderateincome households, and 1,246 units for above moderateincome households (Table 3-1). AB 2634 mandates that localities calculate the subset of the very low-income
regional need that constitutes the communities need
for extremely low income housing. As an alternative to
calculating the subset, local jurisdictions may assume that 50 percent of the very low income category is represented by households of extremely low income (less than 30
percent of the Area Median Income or AMI).

PIPELINE PROJECTS
According to HCD Guidance, projects that have
been approved, permitted, or received a Certificate
of Occupancy during the projection period (June 30,
2023 – December 15, 2031) can be counted toward the
2023-31 cycle RHNA. As shown on Table 3-2, there are
25 pipeline projects in Monterey expected to generate
a total of 491 new housing units during the planning
period, including 8 new single-family residences and
483 new multifamily units. The location of the projects is shown on Map 3-1 and affordability commitments are
reflected in Table 3-2. The City’s inclusionary ordinance requires that a minimum of 20 percent of the units in any project with more than six new housing units be made
permanently affordable to moderate- and low-income
households for the life of the project.

SITE IDENTIFICATION
The City of Monterey is a largely built-out community of approximately 12,375 existing homes nestled between the southern shore of Monterey Bay and the forested ridgeline of the foothills. The City’s RHNA allocation of 3,654 new homes for the 2023-31 planning period represents a 29.5 percent increase in the total number of housing units in the city. Given that only approximately 5 percent of the land area within the City limit is vacant and 21.7 percent is occupied by military facilities over which the City does not have land use planning jurisdiction, infill residential development will be an important priority. Further, the State Water Resources Control Board Cease-and-Desist
Order prohibiting new water hookups or increased
water use in the city means that, in the near term, nonvacant commercial and industrially-zoned sites are among the most viable sites for housing development,
as they have water credits available. However, the
redevelopment capacity of infill sites alone is not sufficient to accommodate the City’s RHNA allocation and it will
be necessary to plan for housing on available sites in
the southeast of the community to meet the current and
projected need.

Council Regular Meeting, 9/19/2023, Item No. 19., Item Page 50, Packet Page 173 3 Adequate Sites for Housing 3-7
To identify potential sites for new housing, a parcel-based analysis of properties within the City limit was conducted using County Assessor data. Vacant sites were identified, along with underutilized non-vacant sites with potential for redevelopment within the planning period and any
surplus City-owned sites. Two primary metrics were used to identify underutilized parcels: assessed value ratio (A/V) and low as-built floor area ratio (FAR). A/V ratio considers the relationship between the value of the land and the improvements constructed on it. Where the value of the land is worth substantially more than the value of the structures on it, there is an incentive for the owner to redevelop with new uses that command higher rents or
sales prices. Similarly, a low FAR means that the square footage of buildings is small compared to the overall size of the site, indicating the potential for redevelopment with other uses. A commercially zoned property containing
a low-slung shopping center with large areas of surface parking could be considered underutilized, particularly if vacancy rates are high. Areas where vacant and
underutilized sites cluster are locations where change is most foreseeable over the planning period and as such are an important focus of planning activities.

The opportunity sites ranked by viability for development with housing in consideration of the prevailing land use characteristics and hazards and organized into tiers, as shown on Map 3-2. Tier 1 sites are those with indicators that signal the strongest redevelopment potential,
and which are also least encumbered by natural and
humanmade hazards. Tier 5 sites are those with some
indication of redevelopment potential, but which are
constrained by hazards. This tiering helped identify viable non-vacant sites to accommodate lower income RHNA, in
view of State requirements for additional analysis to justify their inclusion on the Housing Element sites inventory.

Based on this analysis, eight “opportunity areas” where change is foreseeable over the planning period were
identified (see Map 3-3) and a community survey was
conducted to solicit feedback to help plan where new
housing should be located and how to achieve other
community objectives like improving transportation
options, revitalizing older commercial streets, and
preserving and enhancing neighborhood character.

Between March 1 and April 30, 2023, over 1,050 residents, business owners, and people working or attending school in Monterey participated in the Monterey 2031 Community Survey. Overall, respondents broadly support housing in all eight opportunity areas and a survey report documenting community input and presenting key implications for the planning process is included in Appendix G. Drawing on the community input received, a preliminary inventory of sites available for housing and key strategies to facilitate housing development on the identified sites was prepared and
reviewed with the Planning Commission and City Council
over a series of public meetings in June 2023. The inventory and strategies were refined based on public input and
direction from City decision-makers received at the June meetings prior to inclusion in this Draft Housing Element.

SITE SCREENING AND CAPACITY

PROJECTIONS
A majority of the sites included on the inventory are nonvacant, meaning they contain buildings or other significant improvements that are permanent and add significantly to the value of the property. Per State law, if the inventory identifies non-vacant sites to address a portion of the regional housing need allocation, analysis is required to demonstrate the viability of sites for redevelopment with housing during the planning period. Accordingly, a survey of recent residential development projects was conducted to confirm that the characteristics of sites identified are conducive to redevelopment and to establish average
as-built densities that can be applied to determine the realistic capacity of sites included in the inventory.

Although housing demand is high in the city, production has been severely constrained by water supply availability.

Therefore, the survey also considered recent residential development projects on comparable sites in Seaside,
Marina, and Sand City that do not face the same water
supply constraints as Monterey so as to provide a realistic estimate of the future capacity of sites when new water supply is available.

Profiles of the recent residential precedents are
included in Appendix F, detailing project location, site characteristics prior to redevelopment, and approved/
constructed densities. The profiles indicate that the
project sites have characteristics comparable to the nonvacant sites on the inventory, in evidence of their viability.

These characteristics include:
•Typical parcel size range from 0.3 to 5.5 acres
•Typical existing use: Commercial use or parking lot
•As-Built FAR prior to redevelopment: 0.26 FAR
•Zoning: Commercial or Mixed Use Zoning
•Location: Along commercial corridors, at intersections or mid-block
Based on the results of the survey, the following densities have been used to project realistic capacity: 55 dwelling units per acre (du/ac) in the Alvarado District Downtown; 29 dwelling units per acre for non-vacant sites along
commercial corridors; and 15.9 du/ac in the Pacific/
Munras/Cass area, based on the average density of
existing housing in the area. For vacant residential lots in low density neighborhoods, a typical rate of one unit per lot was assumed. Sites meeting the criteria established in State law for lower income RHNA sites were counted
toward the City’s Low and Very Low Income RHNA
allocation; other sites were attributed to the City’s Above Moderate RHNA allocation.

CITY OF MONTEREY

HOUSING POTENTIAL BY OPPORTUNITY
AREA
This section introduces the opportunity areas and their capacity for new housing, accounting for community
input received and State guidance for site suitability.

A description of development potential in each area
and strategies to facilitate development are proposed,
including changes to City policies and regulations.

Maps depicting sites in each area that can potentially
accommodate new housing are also included.

DOWNTOWN
Downtown Monterey is the city’s premier business and
tourism district, featuring shopping, restaurants, office, hotels, banks, and some higher density housing. There
are few vacant parcels, but there is strong potential
for redevelopment of older, underutilized commercial
properties that currently feature 1-story buildings and large alleys or surface parking lots. The area south of Franklin Street between Alvarado and El Estero Park
(known as the Pearl District) is projected to be impacted by sea level rise in 2050 and parts of this area are already subject to flooding during storms. The Downtown Specific Plan establishes a Density Cap Overlay which applies to much of the Pearl District, which limits building height to 4 stories for predominantly residential projects and caps permitted housing development at a maximum of 30
dwelling units per acre (du/ac) calculated on the basis of all sites included in the overlay with no limit for individual parcels.

In the citywide survey, respondents indicated the
highest level of support for density and taller buildings downtown. A full 55 percent of respondents indicated
that they believe low rise or mid-rise apartments and
condominiums are appropriate housing type in this area
of the city. Today, residential development at up to 100 du/ ac is permitted in the Alvarado District and at up to 30 du/ ac on other properties downtown. Recent development
has been approved at above 50 du/ac in the area. Height limits vary by district, with up to four stories allowed in the downtown core (Alvarado District), three stories

permitted in the East Village District, and generally two stories permitted in other areas (except the Pearl District as noted above). Parcel size tends to be small, less than 10,000 square feet on average, and the ownership pattern is somewhat fragmented, which poses challenges for
development. The best development opportunities can
be found in the Alvarado District, where there are several adjacent clusters of underutilized commercial properties along Calle Principal and Tyler that offer opportunities for redevelopment. The City Council has previously identified the Calle Principal Garage and Lot 14 as potential housing opportunity sites, so redevelopment of these properties has been assumed over the planning period, supported by Program 1-G in Chapter 4). Given that the Pearl District is projected to be heavily impacted by sea level rise, no sites in this subarea have been included on the inventory.

To facilitate housing development downtown, the
following strategies have been incorporated into the
Housing Action Plan (Chapter 4):
•Program 1-C: Revise City land use and zoning
regulations to permit building heights up to 55 feet (5 stories) in the Alvarado District in order to enhance
development feasibility. (No change to permitted
density or building heights in other parts of downtown). •Program 1-C: Revise City policy and regulations
to incorporate a clear statement that 100 percent
residential projects are permitted throughout the
downtown area, except on/adjacent to Alvarado Street
per City Council resolution 21-129 C.S.

Council Regular Meeting, 9/19/2023, Item No. 19., Item Page 54, Packet Page 177 3 Adequate Sites for Housing 3-11
•Program 1-C: Offer municipal shared parking
agreements to projects that propose at least 30 new
housing units within 1,000 feet of a City-owned parking lot or structure to assist with development feasibility and encourage lot consolidation.
•Program 1-G: Partner with a non-profit developer
for the construction of workforce housing on Two
City-owned downtown parking facilities (Lot 14 parking
lot on Bonifacio Pl & Adams St and the Calle Principal
Garage on Calle Principal near Bonifacio Pl) to meet the needs of lower income households in Monterey.

On this basis, the inventory assumes development of 457 new housing units downtown, including 216 that would be affordable to households making less than 80 percent of the area median income. Sites are shown on Map 3-4.

NORTH FREMONT
The North Fremont corridor extends from Highway 68 to
the eastern City limit north of the Fairgrounds. To the north and south are single-family residential neighborhoods.

The airport approach zone extends over the western part of the corridor and higher density housing is prohibited here, which significantly constrains the potential to add housing over the area. The approach zone ends just west of Airport Road, and along the eastern part of the corridor there are several vacant and underutilized properties.

Existing development is primarily motels, restaurants, and strip retail center with large surface parking areas which represent opportunities for redevelopment.

High density residential uses (30 du/ac or more) are
conditionally permitted on commercial properties along
the corridor, although recent development has been
approved at 42 du/ac. Parcel size along North Fremont
is larger than downtown or along Lighthouse Avenue, on
average 0.77 acres or about 33,500 square feet. There are three adjacent larger parcels under common ownership at the east end of the corridor and several pairs of adjacent underutilized properties that could be consolidated to
facilitate development. In the citywide survey, community members expressed strong support for housing along
North Fremont, particularly apartments (low rise and
mid-rise) and townhomes. Many respondents expressed
support for reimagining the area as a walkable, mixed use corridor that provides attainable housing options together with retail, restaurants, and daily services.

To help facilitate this vision and integrate new housing along the eastern portion of the corridor, the following strategies are proposed:
•Program 1-C: Revise City land use and zoning
regulations to permit up to 45 du/ac on all properties
fronting Fremont Street with no change to permitted
building heights.
•Program 1-C: Revise City policy and regulations
to incorporate a clear statement that 100 percent
residential projects are permitted along the eastern
segment of the North Fremont corridor.
•On this basis, the inventory assumes development
of 328 new housing units, including 218 that would
be affordable to households making less than 80
percent of the area median income. Sites are shown
on Map 3-5.

CITY OF MONTEREY

LIGHTHOUSE
This area encompasses Lighthouse Avenue, Foam
Street, Wave Street and Cannery Row, roughly from
Reeside Avenue to the City limit. Today, the area
features a mix of neighborhood and visitor-oriented
businesses interspersed with housing, including 2 and
3 story apartment buildings, duplexes, and single-family homes. Portions along the coast near Cannery Row are
susceptible to flooding from sea level rise, but overall risk of environmental hazard is lower here than in other areas of Monterey. Particularly along Lighthouse Avenue and Foam Street, underutilized commercial properties
with low slung buildings and larger surface parking lots represent opportunities for redevelopment.

There are substantially more underutilized commercial
properties with potential for new housing in this
area than along the North Fremont and Garden Road
corridors, although parcel size tends to be smaller in this area, averaging under 9,500 square feet. High density
residential uses (30 du/ac or more) are conditionally
permitted on commercial properties along the corridor,
and ground floor residential uses involving more than
four units are conditionally permitted along Lighthouse Avenue. Clusters of underutilized parcels under common
ownership on Lighthouse and Wave represent some of
the best opportunities for redevelopment. There are also adjacent underutilized parcels that could be consolidated to facilitate redevelopment.

In the citywide survey, community members generally
expressed support for housing in the area. More than
80 percent of 10-minute survey respondents and
apartments and condominiums (mid and low rise) were
the most preferred housing typology; however, 5-minute
respondents tended to allocate a smaller portion of the total number of new units in the Lighthouse area. Survey respondents emphasized a desire for a walkable, mixed
use environment with plazas and public spaces that
provide opportunities for socializing and events. Survey respondents also highlighted the need to ensure that
traffic, parking, and pollution are adequate addressed as new housing is incorporated over the area.

To help facilitate this vision and integrate new housing along the eastern portion of the corridor, the following strategies are proposed:
•Program 1-C: Revise City policy and regulations to
permit 100 percent residential projects on Lighthouse
Avenue.
•Program 1-C: Offer municipal shared parking
agreements to projects that propose at least 20
new housing units within 1,000 feet of a City-owned
parking lot or structure outside the coastal zone to
assist with development feasibility and encourage lot
consolidation.

On this basis, the inventory assumes development of 296 new housing units, including 31 that would be affordable to households making less than 80 percent of the area
median income. Sites are shown on Map 3-6.

GARDEN ROAD
Garden Road is a 0.7-mile corridor that runs from the
Monterey Pines Golf Club to Olmsted Road, between
the Airport and Highway 68. The area features a mix of
commercial and office development today, with notable
uses that include the Monterey Herald, California State parks Monterey District offices, Caltrans District Office, Garden Place Professional Center, Shoreline Church,
and the Comfort Inn. Existing development in the area
consists of 1- and 2-story buildings with surface parking heavily screened from view with trees and landscaping.

Parcel size is relatively large, ranging from 0.9 acres to approximately 6 acres. Parcels on the norther side of
the corridor abut the airport to the north and are largely within Airport Safety Zone 3 (Inner Turning Zone), where residential development is generally prohibited.

The Multifamily Residential Overlay District applies to the corridor, allowing the conversion of existing buildings to housing or the development of new housing at up
to 30 du/ac. Several development applications along
the corridor are currently under review and one project involving 25 units on a 1.86-acre office site was approved in January 2023. Additional underutilized commercial/
office properties along the southern side of the corridor present further opportunities for redevelopment with
housing. In the citywide survey, there was solid (although not unanimous) support for additional high density
housing along the corridor, including apartments and
townhomes. Survey respondents emphasized the
need to provide transit and bicycle connectivity to the rest of the community if housing is added here and to
ensure adequate airport noise mitigation strategies are implemented.

To help facilitate this vision and integrate new housing along Garden Road, the following strategies are proposed:
•Program 1-B: Increase the maximum permitted density
in the Multifamily Residential Overlay District from 30 to 50 du/ac and consider establishing a minimum density
for the area when adequate water supply becomes
available.
•Program 1-B: To reduce development costs and
enhance feasibility, revise the Multifamily Residential Overlay District regulations to remove the requirement
for covered parking spaces where they can be
adequately screened from view.

On this basis, the inventory assumes development of
356 new multifamily housing units along Garden Road,
which would all be at densities deemed affordable for
households making less than 80 percent of the area
median income. Sites are shown on Map 3-7.

Additionally, a notable number of survey respondents
expressed support for the development of clustered
housing on vacant hillside land south of the airport within the City limit. This area contains a large, vacant parcel owned by the Monterey City School District (MPUSD).

Located east of Tarpey Flats and south of the airport, the 50-acre parcel is on relatively flat terrain and is identified as potential site for moderate and low income housing in the Highway 68 Area Plan if MPUSD were to declare the
property surplus. The Plan provides policy direction and design guidelines that could serve as a starting point for planning of the site and surroundings, and the City and the School District could also jointly pursue an Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District (EIFD) to help fund the cost of infrastructure to support development of the site.

To facilitate development of this site with mixed income housing, Program 1-I has been included in the Housing
Action Plan (Chapter4) and the inventory assumes 640
new housing units, including 145 homes affordable to
moderate income households and 145 homes affordable
to lower income households over the planning period.

CITY OF MONTEREY

PACIFIC/MUNRAS/CASS
This area features an eclectic mix of hotels, small-scale offices and apartments, and single-family homes. In
particular, some underutilized commercial and office
properties along Pacific, Cass, Abrego, and Munras
offer opportunities for housing within easy walking
distance of downtown. The area has relatively low risk
of environmental hazards. Current General Plan land use and zoning for the area is Commercial, which allows for development at up to 30 du/ac along Munras Avenue and
the Pacific/El Dorado/Cass Street area. Parcel size varies, with larger parcels ranging from 0.25 acres to 0.9 acres on Muras and smaller, odd-shaped parcels on Cars, El
Dorado and Davis Lane. Notably, there are several clusters of small, adjacent underutilized parcels under common
ownership that may be redeveloped together.

In the citywide survey, respondents supported additional smaller scale apartments, condominiums, fourplexes,
triplexes, duplexes residential development in this
area with building heights and styles that reflect the
existing character. For larger sites closest to downtown development was assumed at 29 du/ac and for sites along Cass development was assumed at the average density of
existing housing in the area, which is 15.9 du/ac. On this basis, the preliminary inventory assumes development
of 130 new housing units on underutilized sites in this area, including 31 that would be affordable to households making less than 80 percent of the area median income.

Sites are shown on Map 3-8.

DEL MONTE
This commercial corridor runs east of Del Monte Lake
to Highway 1, featuring storage and auto-oriented
businesses with some large surface parking lots and
undeveloped land that could represent opportunities for redevelopment. There is existing single and multifamily housing north of the corridor. Coastal bluffs shield the corridor from the ocean and the risk of environmental
hazard in the area is relatively low. Current General
Plan land use and zoning for the area is Commercial,
which allows for development at up to 30 du/ac. Parcel
size varies, but is typically larger than in the Downtown, Lighthouse, and Pacific/Munras/Cass opportunity areas.

Average parcel size is 0.81 acres, with three parcels over 1-acre in size and a 1.94-acre cluster of underutilized sites under common ownership offering some of the best
opportunities for redevelopment.

In view of the available sites and development
opportunities, the inventory assumes development of
126 new housing units on underutilized sites in this area, all of which would be at densities deemed affordable
for households making less than 80 percent of the area
median income. Sites are shown on Map 3-9.

CITY OF MONTEREY

RYAN RANCH AND FORT ORD
Located immediately southeast of the airport, the Ryan
Ranch Area is home to Montage Health, an office park,
and some light industrial businesses. New housing is
prohibited in the airport approach zone which extends
through the central part of the area, but there is cluster of underutilized commercial properties north of Upper
Ragsdale Road which presents opportunities for
redevelopment. Immediately adjacent to the north is
the former Fort Ord Military Base, where approximately
130 acres of vacant land is potentially available for
development with housing and other uses. The Fort Ord
area is largely outside of the airport safety zones and risk of natural hazard is lower here than in other areas of Monterey, although the presence of unexploded ordnance
requires remediation before residential development can take place. Ford Ord also has water credits sufficient for 240 new homes today, making it one of the more feasible locations for housing development in the near term,
although the City has received correspondence from Land Watch about a settlement agreement applicable to the site that may affect development potential.

The General Plan land use designations applicable in this area include Industrial (I) and Parks, Recreation and Open Space (PROS). Current zoning does not permit housing
in Ryan Ranch, but two of the six parcels at Fort Ord are zoned Planned Community (PC), which permits residential development subject to a PC Plan or Specific Plan. In
the Citywide survey, Fort Ord was the area respondents
identified most favorably for new housing, and generally felt it would be appropriate for a mix of housing types, primarily including single-family homes and townhomes
with some multifamily housing as well. Ryan Ranch was
also ranked highly by survey respondents as a location
for new housing, including a mix of apartments and
townhomes. Community comments highlighted some
of the challenges for development in this area, including the limited capacity of existing infrastructure and lack of access/connectivity to other areas of the community
(particularly for transit, bicycles, and pedestrians).

Preferences for the future of the area also varied, with many advocating for the creation of a mixed-use village over the area, others preferring to see lower scale
development integrated with the natural environment,
and some not favorable to development on natural open
spaces or biologically sensitive areas.

Integrating new housing into this area would need to
be done carefully and in a way that responds to the
variety of preferences and concerns that community
members expressed through the survey. Therefore, a
key implementing strategy for the area, articulated in
Program 1-H, involves the preparation of a specific plan to establish a clear vision for the areas and to guide future development and conservation, identify infrastructure
needs and financing mechanisms, and establish measures
to ensure sustainable development and adequate
resource protection. On this basis, the preliminary
inventory assumes a total of 2,100 new housing units in the Ryan Ranch and Fort Ord area, 480 of which would
be affordable to moderate-income and low-income
households, consistent with the City’s inclusionary
ordinance. Sites are shown on Map 3-10.

OTHER KEY SITES
The inventory also assumes development of several key
sites outside of the opportunity areas. These are shown on Map 3-11. Description of existing conditions and
development potential is provided below.

County Courthouse Site
The County has decided to relocate the courthouse
and this 4.4-acre site, located on Aguajito Road, east of Highway 1, is available for redevelopment with housing.

Currently, the site is designated LDR in the General Plan and zoned R-1; but if the site is declared surplus, it could accommodate higher density housing to help meet the
needs of moderate, low and very low-income households.

Assuming it is rezoned to R-3, the site could accommodate 130 new units affordable to moderate, low, and very low income households.

Monterey Museum of Art Perry Lane Site
Located at 590 Perry Lane just a short walk from El
Estero Park and downtown Monterey, this 1.82-acre site
is available for housing. The site is currently for sale.

It contains some small single-story structures and is
partially located within an area of high liquefaction risk, construction techniques are available to mitigate this risk.

The site is currently zoned Commercial, which allows for residential development at up to 30 du/ac. On this basis, the preliminary inventory assumes development of 50 new housing units, 10 of which would be moderate and lower
income households.

Elks Lodge Site
Monterey Elks Lodge is located at 150 Mar Vista Drive.

The 3.75-acre site contains approximately 22,000 square feet of existing buildings constructed in 1963 and has large areas of surface parking lot that could be redeveloped with housing. The site is surrounded by existing multifamily developments including the 3-story Palo Verde Apartments immediately adjacent to the west. The site itself is generally outside of mapped areas of environmental hazard,
although the Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone extends to the opposite site of Mar Vista Drive, uphill from the graded and developed portion of the site. The General Plan Land Use designation applicable to the site is Residential - Medium Density (MDR), which allows for 8 to 30 du/ac.

Assuming the existing building and structures remain on the property and new housing is integrated onsite, the
Elks Lodge property could accommodate 94 new units at
a density deemed affordable to low and very low income
households by the State.

Del Monte Shopping Center
Located on three parcels with a combines area of nearly 48 acres, the Del Monte Shopping Center consists of retail shops and restaurants in single story buildings organized around large areas of surface parking. Subject to property owner interest, a portion of the site could be developed with housing to further support the vitality of existing businesses and address local housing needs. The City has contacted the property owner to gauge interest and what measures could be put in place to facilitate the addition of housing to the site in the event the owner would
like to proceed. Provisionally, the inventory assumes
development of 150 market rate units on a portion of the property, 30 of which would be affordable to moderate
and low income households consistent with the City’s
inclusionary requirements.

Heritage Harbor Office Complex
This site consists of two parcels with a total site area of approximately 4 acres. Located west of Fisherman’s Wharf within easy walking distance to downtown, the sites are owned by the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Existing uses
include a parking structure and several low slung office buildings. The City has contacted the property owner
to gauge interest and what measures could be put in
place to facilitate the addition of housing to the site in the event the owner would like to proceed. Provisionally, the inventory assumes development of 90 market rate units on a portion of the property, 18 of which would be affordable to moderate and low income households consistent with
the City’s inclusionary requirements.

VACANT RESIDENTIAL LAND
Map 3-11 also shows the location of vacant residential
parcels within the City limit. In total, there are 113 parcels designated Low Density Residential (LDR) in the General Plan and zoned R-1, as well as 17 vacant parcels designated Medium Density Residential (MDR) in the General Plan
and zoned either R-2 or R-3. These sites are available for development when new water sources become available
and their capacity is reflected in the inventory.

LOCAL EDUCATIONAL AGENCY LANDS
As shown on Map 3-12, the Monterey Peninsula Unified
School District (MPUSD) owns 17 properties in the
city with a total land area of 139.31 acres. Ten of these properties are schools and two are vacant, including a

4.24-acre property at the end of Del Rey Garden Road
in Ryan Ranch and a 50-acre property south of Highway
68 and southeast of the airport. The ten properties with existing school facilities range in size from 0.28 acres to

21.25 acres and have base zoning that currently allows
from residential development (R-1-5, R-1-20, R-3-5, and PC). Facing a declining enrollment trend in recent years, MPUSD has closed three facilities; however, the high
cost of housing in the Monterey Peninsula is a significant barrier to recruitment and retention of teachers and staff.

MPUSD reports that each year it loses 20-25 percent of its teaching staff due to a critical housing shortage of housing in the region and the high cost of living. As such, MPUSD has a strong interest in developing housing for teachers and school district staff and has submitted a statement to that effect, included in Appendix F.

Recognizing the critical need for housing for local
educational agencies (LEAs), the Governor signed AB2295 into law in 2022. The law exempts LEA housing projects
from the provisions of the Surplus Land Act and allows
housing at densities deemed affordable to lower income
households on properties wholly owned by LEAs, subject
to certain conditions. Program 1-E in Chapter 4 Housing Action Plan commits the City to adopting an Education
Workforce Housing Overlay and associated development
standards that implements AB2295 locally and permits
housing development at up to 30 du/ac by right on urban infill sites owned by the MPUSD in the City of Monterey.

Therefore, the inventory projects development of 100
new housing units on MPUSD properties by 2031,
based on consultations with MPUSD and in view of
District resources and capacity over the next 8 years.

Development is assumed at densities of at least 20 du/ac, the level deemed affordable to lower income households
by the State.

RELIGIOUS INSTITUTIONAL LANDS
New State laws recognize religious institutions as
important partners in affordable housing development
and seek to provide incentives to facilitate construction by churches, synagogues, and mosques, such as through
the reduced parking requirements available to religious facilities seeking to develop affordable housing on their properties by way of AB 1851. In Monterey, there are 12 properties owned by religious institutions that range
in size from 1- to 9 acres and are located outside of
environmental hazard areas, including flood zones, Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones, airport safety zones,
areas of high liquefaction risk, and areas susceptible
to sea level rise and coastal flooding. These properties, shown on Map 3-13, typically have zoning that permits
low density residential development and many of them
with vacant land and/or surface parking lots that could be developed with affordable housing.

The City is working to set up focus group discussions
with representatives of the local faith-based community to understand if there is interest in pursuing affordable housing projects and what the City could do to support
housing development by faith-based property owners.

On the basis of this outreach, a refined list of candidate properties will be developed together with specific
actions the City could take to facilitate the development of affordable housing by interested faith-based institutions, which would include zoning amendments to permit
residential development at densities of at least 20 du/ac, permit streamlining procedures, and technical assistance.

Program 1-F in Chapter 4 Housing Action Plan envisions
the creation of a Congregational Overlay and associated development standards, as well as implementation of
a program of technical assistance and development
support for interested faith-based institutional property owners, which may include the preparation of factsheets; introductions to qualified design professionals,
construction contractors, property management firms,
and affordable housing operators; consultations on
navigating the development application process.

ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS
Sometimes called “in-law units” or “granny flats,” an
accessory dwelling unit (ADU) is an additional smaller unit on the same property as an existing single-family home.

ADUs come in many shapes and sizes, but are always a
self-contained home that is smaller than the main house and legally part of the same property. ADUs have a
kitchen, bathroom, and place to sleep, while junior ADUs (JADUs) are smaller - up to a maximum of 500 square feet - and must contain an efficiency kitchen (sink, stove, fridge, and counter) or wet bar, but may share a bathroom and full kitchen facilities with the main house.

Residential land uses comprise nearly 30 percent of all existing land use in Monterey, meaning there is significant opportunity for development of ADUs and JADUs. Since
they are typically smaller than a single-family home, ADUs and JADUs can be “affordable by design,” meaning they
cost less to build, buy, or rent. As such they can offer affordable opportunities for older adults living on fixed incomes, students, teachers, service sector workers and others employed in the community. Demographic factors
indicate that ADUs and JADUs can play an important
role in helping to meet local housing needs. Adults aged 65 and older accounted for nearly 19 percent of the
city’s population in 2020, up from 15.45 percent in 2010.

CITY OF MONTEREY
ADUs can be an important resource that allow older
adult residents to “age in place,” whether by providing opportunities for extended families to live together while maintaining privacy or by providing space for in-home
caregivers. At the same time, ADUs can offer affordable housing options for some of the more than 7,500
post-secondary students at the Middlebury Institute
of International Studies and the Monterey campus of
Monterey Peninsula College. Equally, ADUs and JADUs
can provide additional housing opportunities for those
employed in the hospitality, tourism, retail, and service sectors that make up 25 percent of the jobs in the local economy.

Safe harbors in State Housing Element law allow for
the use of local trends since 2018 to project the future rate of ADU production. On average since 2018, the
City has issued construction permits for 11 ADUs each
year, as shown in Table 3-3. By this measure, Monterey
can project at least 11 ADUs annually throughout the
planning period; however, as noted in HCD’s Housing
Element Site Inventory Guidebook, this methodology
represents “a conservative option [that] only account[s] for the effect of the new laws without local promotional efforts or incentives.” In Monterey, the production trend has increased year-on-year since 2018, with 7 ADUs
permitted in 2018, 13 in 2020, and 19 in 2022 even as past production trends have been constrained by water supply availability. The Housing Action Plan contains a program of zoning incentivizes (Program 3-G) to encourage the
production of ADUs and JADUs, particularly for lower
income households. On this basis, the Town projects
15 new ADUs/JADUs annually throughout the planning
period for a total of 120 new ADUs by 2031.

The City does not collect data on rental pricing for ADUs in the community; however, data available from other
communities in the AMBAG region and the nearby San
Francisco Bay Area provide important insight into the
affordability of ADUs. The City of Santa Cruz conducts
voluntary rental pricing surveys for ADUs each year,
the results of which indicate the majority of ADUs are
rented at low-income rents or below. For the 2022 survey, 89 percent of respondents who provided rental cost
data were charging at or below the low income rent for
their units. The Association of Bay Area Governments
(ABAG), the metropolitan planning organization for the
San Francisco Bay Area has conducted an extensive
study of ADU affordability in the region, and based on
its findings, it is assumed that 60 percent of the ADUs/ JADUS constructed in the City of Monterey over the
planning period (72 units total) will be affordable to low and very low-income households, 30 percent of these
units (36 units total) will be affordable to moderateincome households, and 10 percent (12 units total) will be affordable for above moderate income households.

Implementation of Program 3-G, described above, will
also help ensure the affordability of new ADUs and JADUs produced in the planning period.

SUMMARY OF RHNA CAPACITY
Map 3-14 shows the location of sites available for housing and Table 3-4, below, summarizes the realistic capacity projected for the inventory with implementation of the
proposed strategies. It accounts for development of
vacant residential land, pipeline projects, ADU production, development in the Educational Workforce Housing and
Congregational Overlays, and development on individual
sites in and outside opportunity areas. Per State
guidance, ADUs are not assigned to individual sites, but rather projected on a citywide basis. Low and Very Low
RHNA capacity has been attributed to sites that meet the suitability criteria outlined in State law, including parcel size, location, and zoning. Infill sites that do not meet the established suitability criteria are assumed to develop with market rate housing and that capacity has been assigned to above moderate income households. However, the City
has adopted an Inclusionary Ordinance which requires
that 20 percent of new units in projects of six or more units be affordable to moderate and low income households.

Therefore, 20 percent of the total above moderate infill development capacity has been reallocated to moderate,
low, and very low income households.

Overall, the preliminary draft inventory demonstrates
capacity meet RHNA obligations at all income levels with a buffer. The buffer is required to ensure that there is sufficient capacity to meet RHNA obligations at all times during the planning period, in the event that some sites on the inventory actually develop at lower densities than envisioned.

Financial Resources
As a small community, and especially since the loss of
Redevelopment Agencies statewide, the City of Monterey
has limited availability of funds for affordable housing activities. Key funding sources now include limited
Community Development Block Grant funds and the City’s
Inclusionary Housing Program. Through these funding
sources, the City has achieved affordable housing for
lower and moderate income households.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK

GRANT (CDBG) FUNDS
Through the CDBG program, HUD provides funds to local
governments for a range of community development
activities. The eligible activities include, but are not limited to, acquisition and/or disposition of real estate property, public facilities and improvements, relocation, rehabilitation and construction (under certain limitations) of housing, home ownership assistance, and also
clearance activities. In addition, these funds can be used to acquire or subsidize at-risk units. The City of Monterey typically receives approximately $250,000 annually from the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD). The City has also been awarded an additional
approximately $100,000 in CARES Act funds, and
projected program income is $1,000,000.

PERMANENT LOCAL HOUSING

ALLOCATION
In 2017, Governor Brown signed a 15-bill housing package aimed at addressing the State’s housing shortage and
high housing costs. Specifically, it included the Building Homes and Jobs Act (SB 2, 2017), which establishes a
$75 recording fee on real estate documents to increase
the supply of affordable homes in California. Because
the number of real estate transactions recorded in each county will vary from year to year, the revenues collected will fluctuate.

The first year of SB 2 funds are available as planning grants to local jurisdictions. For the second year and onward, 70% of the funding will be allocated to local governments for affordable housing purposes and will be distributed using the same formula used to allocate federal CDBG.

This funding is known as the Permanent Local Housing
Allocation (PLHA) and can be used to:
•Increase the supply of housing for households at or
below 60 percent of AMI
•Increase assistance to affordable owner-occupied
workforce housing
•Assist persons experiencing or at risk of homelessness •Facilitate housing affordability, particularly for lower and moderate income households
•Promote projects and programs to meet the local
government’s unmet share of RHNA
•A Housing Element certified by the State HCD is a
prerequisite for receiving PLHA funds

PUBLIC FINANCING
The State Housing and Community Development
Agency, and HUD, offer construction, rehabilitation, and permanent financing as low as three percent to qualified applicants such as housing authorities or private nonprofit developers. These funds are competed for based on participation of other funding sources and local need.

CITY OF MONTEREY
The Housing Action Plan describes the specific goals,
policies, and programs the City will undertake to achieve the long‐term housing objectives set forth in the Monterey Housing Element. These goals, policies, and programs are intended to provide a framework for increasing the range of housing options in the community, removing barriers
and constraints to housing construction, ensuring the
continued maintenance of existing housing, and providing equal access to housing opportunities and services for all who live and work in Monterey.

The City’s housing policies and implementing programs
are organized around five key goals that correspond to
community priorities. Quantified and qualitative objectives are described under each program. Assumptions are
based on past program performance, development trends,
land availability, realistic capacity, and future program funding. A timeline depicting the implementation timing and sequence of the programs is included at the end of
this chapter.

A critical consideration for implementation is the availability of water supply to serve new residential development, as detailed in Appendix C, Housing Constraints. Accordingly, the implementation timing for programs in this Action Plan has been synchronized with the anticipated availability of adequate water supply.
4 HOUSING ACTION PLAN
Policy 1.4 Incentivize and facilitate housing development on properties owned by schools, churches, synagogues, mosques, and
businesses so that interested property
owners can build housing to help meet the
needs of the local workforce.

Policy 1.5 Promote development of a variety of housing
types, sizes, and densities that meet community needs based on the suitability of the land, including the availability of infrastructure, the
provision of adequate services, and recognition of environmental constraints.

Policy 1.6 Continue to partner with and support
non-profit and for-profit organizations in their
efforts to construct, acquire, and improve
housing to accommodate households with
lower and moderate incomes.

Policy 1.7 Provide opportunities and facilitate innovative housing approaches in financing, design,
construction, and types of housing to
increase the variety and supply of lower and
moderate-income housing.

Goal-1: Increase housing supply and
facilitate production of at least
3,654 new homes by 2031.

Policy 1.1 Maintain sufficient land designated and
appropriately zoned for housing to achieve
a complementary mix of single‐family and
multi‐family development to accommodate
RHNA allocations at all levels throughout the
planning period.

Policy 1.2 Promote infill development in adopted Specific Plan areas where high density residential development can be accommodated in
proximity to employment, shopping, transit,
recreation, and other services.

Policy 1.3 Recognizing that infill development alone
will not be sufficient to meet the City’s RHNA
obligations, plan holistically to integrate
new housing in context sensitive ways on
larger vacant properties in the southeast of
Monterey to take advantage of opportunities
where they exist.

Program 1-B Multi-Family Residential Overlay Amendments. The City has established a Multifamily Residential (MF) Overlay District, set forth in City Code section 38-99.4 et seq., applicable to properties along Garden Road that permits the conversion of existing commercial and office buildings to housing or the development of new housing at up to 30 du/
ac. Garden Road has attracted significant
developer interest in recent years and to further facilitate housing development in this area, the City will amend the MF Overlay to
(a) increase the maximum permitted density
from 30 to 50 du/ac; (b) remove the requirement for covered parking spaces where they can be adequately screened from view;
and (c) consider establishing a minimum
density for the area when adequate water
supply becomes available.

Responsibility: Community Development
Department
Timeframe: Adopt amendments by end of
Q3 2024
Objective: Facilitate development of 365
new housing units by Q4 2031
Funding: General fund
Program 1-C Specific Plan Updates. The City has adopted specific plans with the intention of integrating new high density housing into three key commercial areas with good access to
employment, shopping, transit, recreation,
and other services: Downtown, North Fremont, and Lighthouse Avenue. Buildout of the specific plans will primarily involve infill
development, and recognizing the associated challenges, the specific plans incorporate strategies to assist with the financial feasibility of high density infill housing
development, including reduced parking
requirements and provisions for permitting
density above 30 du/ac. As described in
Chapter 3, there are additional opportunities
to facilitate and incentivize development in
the specific plan areas, including increasing
permitted building heights to five stories in
the Alvarado District (Downtown Specific
Plan); increasing permitted density to 45 du/
ac on all properties fronting Fremont Street
(North Fremont Specific Plan); permitting
100 percent residential projects fronting
Lighthouse Avenue (Lighthouse Avenue
Specific Plan); offering municipal shared
parking agreements to projects that propose a minimum number of new housing units in proximity to a City-owned parking
lot or structure (Downtown and Lighthouse
Avenue Specific Plans); and incorporating
additional incentives for consolidation of
adjacent, small lots (Downtown, North
Fremont, and Lighthouse Avenue Specific
Plans). The City will establish a schedule for
updating these specific plans, coordinated
with implementation of Program 3-C. Updates will be undertaken sequentially with the goal of updating each specific plan within 18 months of initiation and completing all three updates by the end of Q2 2029.

Responsibility: Community Development
Department
Timeframe: (a) Detailed scope of work and

CITY OF MONTEREY
Program 1-D Permit Streamlining Pilot Project. The
Monterey Peninsula faces an acute shortage of housing that undermines the local economy and the social fabric of its communities. Lack of an adequate water supply is the primary constraint on new housing development; however, the development approval and permitting process in Monterey can add complexity, uncertainty, and cost
for housing projects. Therefore, to fast-track
infill housing development in core areas of
the city identified for high density housing
when adequate water supply becomes
available, the City will adopt an ordinance
modeled after the Resilient City Development Measures enacted by the City of Santa Rosa following the Tubbs and Nuns fires of
October 2017. The ordinance will:
• Allow housing projects by-right in portions
of the Downtown and Pacific/Munras/
Cass areas with concentrations of
housing opportunity sites (see Map 4-1);
• Delegate design review (subject to
objective standards enacted pursuant
to Program 3-C) to the City staff with the
exception of properties in the National
Landmark Historic District;
• Establish expedited permitting
procedures to reduce the time required
for review and approval of planning,
engineering, and building permits;
• Remain in force for a period of three
years from the date it becomes effective,
unless otherwise amended by subsequent action of the City Council.

Responsibility: Community Development
Department
Timeframe: Initiate preparation of the
draft ordinance in Q2 2025 and bring the
draft ordinance to the City Council for
consideration in Q2 2026
Objective: 587 new housing units
Funding: General Fund
Program 1-E Education Workforce Housing Overlay.

The cost of housing on the Monterey Peninsula is a significant barrier to the recruitment and retention of teachers and school district
staff. Each year the Monterey Peninsula Unified School District (MPUSD) loses approximately 20 percent of its teaching staff due to a critical housing shortage of housing in the
region and the high cost of living. In 2022,
the Governor signed into law AB2295, codified as Government Code section 65914.7, intended to facilitate housing development
projects on property owned by a local educational agency (LEA). The law exempts LEA housing projects from the provisions
of the Surplus Land Act and allows housing
at densities deemed affordable to lower
income households on properties wholly
owned by LEAs, subject to certain conditions. To provide much needed housing for teachers, LEA employees, public agency
staff, and others in the community, the City
will adopt an Education Workforce Housing
Overlay and associated development standards that implements AB2295 locally and permits housing development by right at up
to 30 du/ac on urban infill sites owned by
the MPUSD in the City of Monterey, subject
to compliance with the objective standards
adopted as part of the overlay.

Responsibility: Community Development
Department
Timeframe: (a) conduct outreach to
MPUSD by end of Q2 2024; (b) bring draft
ordinance to City Council for consideration
in Q1 2025
Objective: 100 new housing units, at
least 30 percent of which would be made
available to lower income households
through long-term affordability agreements.

Documentation from MPUSD expressing its
intent to develop on these sites within the
next eight years is attached as Appendix F.

Funding: General Fund
Program 1-F Congregational Overlay. The faith-based
community can play an important role in
providing affordable housing in Monterey.

The City has identified 12 sites owned by
religious institutions with potential for redevelopment over the planning period should the owners wish to pursue that option.

Current zoning for most of the properties
permits housing development; however,
cost and familiarity with the development
process can be barriers to development
even where supportive zoning is already in
place. Therefore, to facilitate production of
affordable housing projects on properties
owned by religious institutions, the City will:
a. Adopt a congregational overlay and
associated objective development
standards that permits residential
development at up to 30 dwelling
units per acre by-right (consistent with
Government Code section 65583.2 (h)

CITY OF MONTEREY
Responsibility: Community Development
Department
Timeframe: (a) Rezoning complete within
3 years or 1 year of statutory deadline
as applicable; (b) institute program of
technical assistance/support in April of
year following rezoning; (c) ongoing with
regular reporting annually by April of
each year thereafter via Annual Progress
Report to HCD
Objective: 100 new housing units
affordable to Low and Very Low Income
Households on properties owned by
religious facilities
Funding: General Fund
Program 1-G Surplus Municipal Parking Facilities. Two
City-owned downtown parking facilities (Lot
14 parking lot on Bonifacio Pl & Adams St
and the Calle Principal Garage on Calle Principal near Bonifacio Pl) have been identified as candidates for redevelopment with workforce housing to increase opportunities for hospitality and service workers, teachers,
public servants, and others who earn less
than 80 percent of the area median income.

Both sites are located in the Alvarado District
where the Downtown Specific Plan permits
residential development at up to 100 du/ac.

Through this program, the City will seek to
partner with a non-profit developer for the
construction of workforce housing on the
sites to meet the needs of lower income
households in Monterey. In making these
properties available for affordable housing
development, the City will comply with the
requirements of the Surplus Lands Act. City
actions for implementation will include:
• Releasing an RFP for the sites in Q2 2024;
• Identifying partner(s) and entering into an
Exclusive Negotiating Agreement (ENA)
by end of Q4 2024;
• Negotiating Development and
Disposition Agreement (DDA), including
incentives such as a ground lease and
soft costs by end of Q2 2025 so long as
there is sufficient guarantee of a water
supply for this site.
• Holding regular meetings with developer
in order to expedite processing development application and design work with the goal of project approval by end of Q4
2026;
• Completion of construction by end of Q4
is anticipated in 2027.

Responsibility: Community Development
Department; City Manager’s Office
Timeframe: Actions and timing as noted
above with the goal of completing construction by the end of Q4 2027 if water supply is available
Objective: 50 lower income units by 2027
Funding: General Fund
Program 1-H Fort Ord/Ryan Ranch Specific Plan. In
a community survey conducted for the
Housing Element that garnered over 1,050
responses, the former Fort Ord Military
Base was the area of the city identified most
favorably for new housing to meet current
and projected need. Adjacent Ryan Ranch,
home to a regional medical center and office
park south of the airport, was also ranked
highly as a location for new townhomes and
apartments by respondents. Integrating
new housing into this area would need to be
done carefully and in a way that responds to
the variety of preferences and concerns that
community members expressed through
the survey, as described in Chapter 3. Therefore, the City will prepare a specific plan to establish a clear vision for the area and to
guide future development and conservation,
identify infrastructure needs and financing
mechanisms, and establish measures to
ensure sustainable development and adequate resource protection. The overarching objective should be to foster the creation of
a mixed-use village on a portion of the site
to provide housing, jobs, schools, shops,
services and recreation for future residents
while also preserving carefully selected areas of natural open space and habitat.

Responsibility: Community Development
Department
Timeframe: (a) identify funding sources
and release RFP by end of 2024; (b)
complete site remediation work, special
status species surveys, and biological
study by the end of Q3 2026; (c) bring draft
specific plan to City Council for adoption in
Q4 2028
Objective: 2,100 new housing units,
including 210 homes affordable to moderate income households and 210 homes affordable to lower income households
Funding: General Fund and grant funding
Council Regular Meeting, 9/19/2023, Item No. 19., Item Page 78, Packet Page 201 4 Housing Action Plan 4-7
Program 1-I Highway 68 Area Plan Update. MPUSD
owns a vacant 50-acre parcel on relatively
flat land, east of Tarpey Flats and south of
Highway 68 and the Monterey Regional Airport. The Highway 68 Area Plan envisions a mix of up to 300 low and moderate income
housing units on this property if MPUSD
declares the property surplus, and the Plan
provides policy direction and design guidelines that could serve as a starting point for planning of the site and surroundings.

Through this program, the City will update
the Highway 68 Area Plan to facilitate development of mixed income housing along with access and infrastructure improvements on
the site. The Highway 68 Area Plan Update
should identify portions the site for low-medium density housing, high density housing, and open space preservation, including creation of a parcel or parcels no greater than 10-acres in size for development at densities deemed appropriate to accommodate housing for lower income households; incorporate regulatory or process incentives to facilitate on-site provision of housing for
households with limited financial resources;
establish a basis for the City and MPUSD to
jointly pursue an Enhanced Infrastructure
Financing District (EIFD) to help fund the
cost of infrastructure to support development of the site.

Responsibility: Community Development
Department
Timeframe: (a) identify funding sources
and release RFP by end of 2026; (b) bring
draft specific plan to City Council for
adoption in Q3 2031
Objective: 640 new housing units,
including 145 homes affordable to moderate income households and 145 homes affordable to lower income households
Funding: General Fund and grant funding
Program 1-J SB 9 Housing Ordinance. SB 9 allows division of lots in single-family residential districts to facilitate the development of smaller scale housing that may be more affordable
in existing neighborhoods. The new requirements, which are codified in Government Code sections 65852.21.21 and 66411.7,
require ministerial approval of a housing development with no more than two primary units in a single-family zone or subdivision of
a parcel in a single-family zone into two parcels subject to compliance with objective development standards and requirements
in the State law. This program commits the
city to enacting regulations to comply with
SB 9 and to promote and facilitate SB9 housing as appropriate in Monterey.

CITY OF MONTEREY
Goal-2: Remove or reduce barriers to
housing production in Monterey and
address the regulatory, process,
and market factors that limit and
adversely affect affordability.

Policy 2.1 Review and revise use permit and design
review thresholds including expanding
number and type of housing projects allowed
by-right.

Policy 2.2 Increase flexibility in development standards including building heights, parking, and other
requirements.

Policy 2.3 Develop zoning standards to encourage
smaller multi-unit housing types including
fourplexes, townhouses, and rowhouses.

Policy 2.4 Reduce constraints to the development of
Accessory Dwelling Units.

Policy 2.5 Ensure that City fees are equitable and reflect reasonable cost of reviewing projects.

Policy 2.6 Remove obstacles to the development of
Single Room Occupancy housing and other
affordable options available to individuals and
households who are unsheltered and those
transitioning from homelessness.

Programs
Program 2-A By-Right Rezoning Sites from Prior Inventories. A number of the non-vacant commercial sites identified on the housing
sites inventory were included on two prior
Housing Element inventories and identified
to accommodate lower income RHNA units
(see Map 4-2). As these sites are also anticipated to accommodate lower income RHNA during the 2023-31 planning period, the City
will create a zoning provision to allow developments by-right pursuant to Government Code section 65583.2(i) when 20 percent
or more of the units are affordable to lower
income households.

Responsibility: Community Development
Department
Timeframe: Complete rezoning by end of
Q4 2024
Objective: Support meeting RHNA
obligations, including development of
1,177 units affordable to very low income
households and 769 affordable to low
income households over the planning
period
Funding: General Fund
Program 2-B Permit Thresholds for Multi-Family Projects.

The Zoning Code requires a use permit for
multi-family projects with four or more units
in R-2, R-3, C-1, C-2, C-3, CO, and CR Districts
and for mixed-use projects including residential units in the districts where the Code allows them. As noted below, the same
requirements apply to supportive and transitional housing with four or more units. In most cases, these projects also require design review. These requirements are a constraint to development of small multi-family projects including those with 5,000 square
feet of floor area or less on sites where a
non-residential build of the same size would
be permitted by-right. As part of the process
of bringing its zoning into compliance with
the General Plan and Housing Element, the
City will review its permit thresholds and
identify revisions to eliminate disparate
treatment of residential projects.

Responsibility: Community Development
Department
Timeframe: Detailed scope of work and
schedule by mid-2024
Objective: Comply with State law requiring
that decisions on residential projects be
based on objective design standards.

Funding: General fund (staff time)
Program 2-C ARC Review. The City will revise the Code to state that the Architectural Review Committee (DRC) will review residential projects for compliance with objective development and
construction requirements rather than subjective design guidelines. ARC review needs to focus on development features that may
conflict with construction standards such
as public safety access and the California
Building Code, Title 24, requirements for
disability access.

CITY OF MONTEREY
Program 2-D Revise Adopted Plans with Objective
Standards. The City has revised several of
the specific plans covering areas within and
near the downtown area to include modified
parking requirements for residential projects and make other changes identified as constraints to housing development, but
these plans also include policies, standards
and guidelines that use imprecise terms that
rely on subjective judgment. The City will
establish a schedule for review and revision
of all adopted plans, including specific and
neighborhood plans, to ensure that they
comply with applicable State requirements.

In addition to establishing objective policies and standards, pursuant to State law, Specific Plans must be consistent with the
General Plan. (California Government Code
section 65454).

Responsibility: Community Development
Department
Timeframe: (a) detailed scope of work

adoption by end of Q2 2029
Objective: Comply with State law requiring

based on objective design standards
Funding: General fund (staff time)
Program 2-E Revise Parking Requirements. Amendments to State law enacted in 2023 (AB 2097), amending Government Code section 65585 and adding Government Code section 65863.2, generally prohibit public
agencies from imposing minimum parking
requirements within a half-mile of public
transit. The City will need to revise parking
requirements to reduce the minimum requirements to one space per unit for all units located within one half mile of public transit.

In addition, the City should reduce the base
parking requirements for mixed-use sites
so that they reflect the maximum demand
for parking at any one time, rather than the
sum of the requirements for all individual
uses. The City will revise the Zoning Code to
ensure its parking requirements conform to
the requirements applicable to areas within
a half-mile of public transit and will also initiate an evaluation of all parking requirements for residential uses to identify regulations
that applicants identify as a constraint to affordable housing development and propose revisions to the Code.

Responsibility: Community Development
Department
Timeframe: (a) As part of an omnibus Code
clean up effort, adopt revisions Zoning
Code to comply with changes to State law
and bring to City Council for adoption by
end of 2023; (b) detailed scope of work and

Objective: Comply with State law requiring
reduced parking within a half mile of transit
and undertake study as a basis for additional revisions to parking requirements Funding: General fund (staff time)
Program 2-F Update Density Bonus Ordinance. New
State laws pertaining to density bonuses
were enacted in 2023: AB 2334, which
amended Government Code section 65915,
makes important changes to the Density
Bonus Law to define development capacity;
and AB 1551, set forth in Government Code
section 65915.7, reinstates the ability to
seek State Density Bonus Law benefits for
commercial projects. Additional bonuses
(including up to 80 percent for completely
affordable projects) are now available. This
program commits the City to updating its
density bonus ordinance to incorporate the
new requirements.

Responsibility: Community Development

Program 2-G Prepare Local Coastal Program (LCP). Because Monterey has not yet adopted a Local Coastal Program (LCP) and implementation
plan for certification by the State Coastal
Commission, new housing in the coastal
zone requires Coastal Commission review
and approval of a Coastal Development
Permit for most new development with possible exception of individual single-family development. The City will prepare an LCP
for Coastal Commission that meets all applicable requirements at the same time it prepares a hearing on the draft of Zoning Code update so it can be submitted to Coastal
Commission for review and approval immediately following City Council action on the Zoning Code update.

Funding: General fund (staff time)
Program 2-H Expand Online Transparency. Government
Code section 65940.1 requires cities and
counties to provide transparency in publicizing land use controls and fees. The Planning Office website provides links to a variety of
resources as well as links to downloadable
versions of Land Use Plans, Regulations,
and Studies. The City must also continue
to ensure that the on-line version of the City
Code is regularly updated and that revisions
to review procedures are available on-line as
well as in handouts at the Planning counter.

This program commits the City to ensuring
these requirements are met and to addressing the recently enacted regulations in Government Code section 65913.3 requiring cities to compile lists specifying information
applicants most provide to obtain post-entitlement phase permits. These requirements are effective at the end of 2023 but the City
may be eligible for an extension.

Responsibility: Community Development

Program 2-I Inclusionary Zoning. Chapter 8 of the City
Code establishes a requirement that a minimum of 20 percent of the units in any project with more than six new housing units be
made permanently affordable to moderateand low-income households for the life of the project. The inclusionary requirements
are an important mechanism for increasing
the total stock of affordable homes in the
community over time. As a matter of practice, projects subject to the City’s inclusionary requirement typically comply by making 10 percent of the proposed units available to
moderate income households and 10 percent available to low income households.

Through this program, the City will amend
the Code to codify this as a requirement.

Responsibility: Community Development
Department
Timeframe: Adopt amendments by the
end of Q4 2024 as part of an omnibus Code

Objective: Facilitate development of below
market rate units, including 1,946 lower
income units and 462 moderate income
units
Funding: General fund (staff time)
Program 2-J Water Distribution Policy. As detailed
in Appendix C, Housing Constraints, the
State Water Resources Control Board has
put in place a Cease-and-Desist Order that
effectively prohibits new water hookups or
increased water use in Monterey. Consequently, the City cannot approve housing projects that would result a net increase in
water consumption until the water supplier,
the California American Water Company,
has terminated illegal diversions from the
Carmel River and a new water supply is in
operation. Additional water supply is anticipated to become available starting in 2025 if the California Public Utilities Commission
authorizes Cal-Am to enter into a water purchase agreement for the Pure Water Monterey expansion project, with supply to the City of Monterey increasing incrementally
as new sources come online. Additional water sources are being explored for feasibility and are also anticipated to increase the overall water supply for the City. Therefore,
the City will develop a methodology for allocating water credits and additional supply that prioritizes affordable housing projects.

The methodology will consider the overall
size of the project, the number of affordable
units proposed, and the level of affordability
proposed.

Responsibility: Community Development
Department
Timeframe: Adopt a Water Distribution
Policy by the end of Q4 2024

CITY OF MONTEREY
Program 2-K Addressing Water Supply Constraints.

The primary constraint to development on
the Monterey Peninsula is water supply.

While new sources of water supply are
anticipated to become available during the
planning period, the City does not currently
have access to sufficient water to support
development of its full RHNA allocation.

Therefore, the City will the City continue to
work with other jurisdictions and agencies
to augment the existing water supply with
the following actions:
• Support efforts by the Monterey
Peninsula Water Management District
(MPWMD) and the California American
Water Company (Cal-AM) to expand the
water supply, including the Sand City
desalination plant, Pebble Beach water
recycling facility, and new lawful rights in
the Carmel River;
• Continue to work with MPWMP and
Cal-AM to develop water conservation
methods (e.g., low flow fixtures, instant
hot water heaters, cisterns/rain gardens)
to augment water for new development
projects;
• Upon adoption of the Housing Element,
provide a copy of the Element to MPWMP
and Cal-AM to facilitate prioritization of
adequate supply for affordable housing
projects, in compliance with AB 1087.

Responsibility: Community Development
Department
Timeframe: (a) coordinate regularly with
water providers starting Q1 2024; (b) send
adopted Housing Element to MPWMD and
Cal-Am by end of Q1 2024
Objective: Support development of 3,654
new homes by Q4 2031
Funding: General fund (staff time)
Goal-3: Provide for fair and equal
housing opportunities for all
persons, regardless of protected
characteristics such as age, sex,
family status, race, creed, color, or
national origin, etc.

Policy 3.1 Enforce fair housing laws and address discrimination in the building, financing, selling, or renting of housing based on protected
characteristics such as race, religion, family
status, national origin, disability, color, sex,
gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, or other protected class.

Policy 3.2 Work collaboratively with local non-profit,
public, and private sector partners to raise
awareness and achieve implementation of fair
housing practices.

Policy 3.3 Promote a wider variety of housing types in
High Resource areas of Monterey.

Policy 3.4 Expand housing choices for special needs
groups throughout Monterey to better
accommodate the varied housing needs of
current and future residents.

Policy 3.5 Ensure that the City’s regulations, policies, practices, and procedures provide equal
access to housing for all persons.

Programs
Program 3-A Legal Services and Fair Housing Education. Continue to contract with a fair housing counseling group in providing legal services
(mediation and the processing of fair housing complaints) and fair housing education, both of which can assist in the prevention
of discrimination against such households.

Each year, the City’s fair housing counseling
group uncovers and helps to resolve cases
of housing discrimination, including cases
of housing discrimination based on protected characteristics such as race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status,
and disability. Additional specific actions
will include:
• Making information detailing fair housing
practices available at City Hall and on the
City’s website;
• Partnering with a fair housing counseling
group to conduct workshops and
seminars about landlord and tenant
responsibilities and rights.

Responsibility: Community Development
Department
Timeframe: Beginning in Q1 2024, (a)
provide funding annually to a fair housing
counseling group to; (b) publish information
on City website and update annually as
appropriate; (c) conduct workshops or

Objective: Provide fair housing support
services for 75 persons annually during
each year of the planning period

Program 3-B Housing for ELI Households and Persons
with Special Needs. Recognizing that local
funding capacity for affordable housing
has been severely diminished by the dissolution of redevelopment agencies, the City will continue to facilitate production of
affordable housing, including units targeted
to extremely low income (ELI) households
and persons with special needs (elderly,
disabled/developmentally disabled, large
households, female-headed households,
the unhoused, and farmworkers), through
the following efforts:
• Provide administrative assistance upon
request to developers seeking available
State and federal funding and/or tax
credits for the construction of low- and
moderate-income housing;
• Facilitate projects that incorporate
affordable units, including units targeted
to ELI households and persons with
special needs, by granting modifications
to development standards, expediting
the review process, and/or providing
financial incentives consistent with City
regulations and State law;
Responsibility: Community Development
Department
Timeframe: Beginning in Q1 2024
Objective: 25 units for ELI households
and persons with special needs during the
planning period
Funding: CDBG funds
Program 3-C Local Density Bonus. Enact a local density
bonus program that offers additional density over the maximum base permitted in the Monterey City Code as an incentive for
projects that consolidate small, adjacent
lots and/or develop 2- and 3-bedroom units.

The local density bonus program would
complement additional density available
to qualifying projects under State Density
Bonus law with the objective of addressing
particular local constraints and needs. The
prevalence of parcels less than 0.5 acres in
size in centrally located parts of the city is a
constraint on infill development and the city
has a relatively high rate of overcrowding,
due in part to the fact that a disproportionate
share of large households live in poverty.

Responsibility: Community Development
Department
Timeframe: Adopt local density bonus
provisions by Q2 2025
Objective: Facilitate development of 300
units affordable to lower income households and 75 rental units with two or three bedrooms over the planning period
Funding: General Fund
Program 3-D Family-Sized Rental Units. Prioritize resources such as HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) funds, California Housing
Finance Agency single-family and multiple-family programs, HUD Section 208/811 loans for the development of rental projects
that provide units with two or three bedrooms.

Responsibility: Community Development
Department
Timeframe: Beginning in Q1 2024
Objective: Promote the development of
20 rental units with two or three bedrooms
over the planning period
Funding: CHFA funds; HUD loans; HOPE
funds; HOME funds
Program 3-E Home Sharing and Tenant Matching.

Home-sharing and tenant matching programs pair existing homeowners with renters in need of space, and may also offer supportive services such as background
checks, applicant interviews/screening, and
facilitation of living together agreements.

These programs make efficient use of existing housing stock and provide affordable rental rates without the need for new construction. Home sharing can be a particularly effective tool to support independent living for seniors and disabled residents while also increasing local housing opportunities
for students and lower income earners
who work in Monterey County. There are
currently no home-sharing/tenant matching programs operating on the Monterey Peninsula; however, United Way is studying
the feasibility of expanding its 211 service
to include such a program. Through this
program, the City will support United Way
in this initiative, promoting participation by
local homeowners by providing information
via the website, City newsletters, and public
contact events, referring interested parties
to United Way of Monterey County.

Responsibility: Community Development
Department
Timeframe: Beginning in Q1 2024, (a)
publish information on City website
and update annually as appropriate; (b)
publicize the program in City newsletters
annually; (c) conduct public outreach
annually
Objective: 100 home sharing matches
over the planning period, with geographic
targeting to homeowners in High Resource
neighborhoods

Program 3-F Affirmative Marketing of Affordable
Housing Opportunities. Western and central areas of Monterey are designated High or Highest Resource areas by the California
Tax Credit Allocation Committee (CTCAC),
which facilitates the investment of private
capital into the development of affordable
rental housing for low-income Californians.

In order to increase access to High/Highest
Resource areas for Low, Very Low, and Extremely Low income households and special needs populations (including older adults,
the disabled (including developmentally
disabled), large households, female-headed
households, people experiencing homelessness, and farmworkers), the City will encourage and facilitate affordable housing
development in Monterey by:
• Preparing information on available sites
and potential opportunities for affordable
housing in Monterey, updating and
distributing it annually to affordable
housing developers;
• Conducting targeted outreach to
housing developers with experience in
development projects that include units
affordable to extremely low income
households and households with special
needs;
• Continuing to provide technical
assistance to housing developers to
assist with the development application
process;
• Annually exploring various sources (e.g.,
HCD and HUD) for funding opportunities,
including those available for housing for
extremely low income and special needs
households; and
• Supporting applications for affordable
housing funds for projects or programs
that are consistent with the goals and
objectives of the Housing Element.

Responsibility: Community Development
Department
Timeframe: (a) Prepare materials by
Q2 2024; (b) prepare list of experienced

Objective: Facilitate development of 1,177
units affordable to very low income households and 769 affordable to low income households over the planning period.

Funding: General Fund
Program 3-G Zoning Incentives for Deed Restricted
ADUs/JADUs. ADUs and JADUs can be an
important source of affordable housing to
help meet the needs of lower income seniors
and people who work in Monterey. The City
will amend the Zoning Code to incentivize
the development of ADUs and JADUs made
available to households earning less than 80
percent of the Monterey County annual median income through a binding commitment to rent-restrict. Incentives may include:
• Increasing the maximum allowable
lot coverage permitted by-right to 50
percent;
• Increasing the maximum allowable FAR
permitted by-right to 50 percent;

Council Regular Meeting, 9/19/2023, Item No. 19., Item Page 86, Packet Page 209 4 Housing Action Plan 4-15
Goal-4: Take action to prevent
homelessness and address the
needs of unhoused people.

Policy 4.1 Preservation and Rehabilitation. Continue to prioritize funding for the acquisition, rehabilitation, and preservation of affordable housing stock in the community and funding to assist
low-income homeowners with home repair,
rehabilitation, and accessibility improvements
that keep people in their homes.

Policy 4.2 Prevention Resources. Connect those most
at risk of becoming unhoused to programs
and services that will help prevent them from
losing their homes.

Policy 4.3 Housing First. Focus on “housing first” as a way of transitioning those who are unhoused
to permanent housing.

Policy 4.4 Continuum of Housing. Increase access to a
continuum of housing, including emergency
shelters, transitional housing, and supportive
housing, to bridge the gap from homelessness to permanent housing by offering structure, supervision, support, and life skills
training.

Policy 4.5 Continuous Improvement. Monitor the
effectiveness of existing programs through
the Consolidated Annual Performance and
Evaluation Report (CAPER) process and
explore opportunities for additional homelessness prevention, response, and services.

Policy 4.6 Collaborative Approach. Continue to cooperate and coordinate with other jurisdictions and public service organizations to address
the needs of the unhoused in the community.

Programs
Program 4-A Multi-Disciplinary Outreach Team
(MDOT). The Monterey Police Department’s
(MPD) MDOT works side-by-side with various governmental and non-governmental organizations to offer, provide, and find solutions for those who are unhoused. In 2023, the MPD MDOT team will expand it capacity
to serve the unhoused with the recent City
Council approval of a “Homeless Navigator
position” to be added to the MPD MDOT
team during the FY23-24 budget. MPD
will also open an Outreach and Navigation
Center at the Old French Consulate building
adjacent to Lake El Estero in a waterfront
location to better serve the public and the
unhoused. In the most recent “point-in-time”
homeless count, there was a 50 percent
decrease in the number of homelessness in
the City between 2019 and 2022, the largest
decrease of any community in Monterey
County. Through this program, the City will:
• Provide workstations at the Monterey
Police Department for service provider
staff to facilitate solutions for the
unhoused and collaboration with MPD
officers;
• Connect unhoused people with domestic
violence workers, social workers, women’s services, adult protective services, mental health and drug treatment
programs, veterans programs, long-term
housing solutions; and other relevant
services;
• Abate illegal encampments to prevent
beach erosion, public health problems,
environmental damage, nuisance
conditions, and fire hazards; and
• Publish information about these collaborative efforts via the City website.

Responsibility: Monterey Police Department; local service providers Timeframe: Ongoing with community
reports throughout the planning period and
annual reports through the CAPER process
Objective: To continue to address and
find resolution for the unhoused over the
planning period
Funding: General Fund
Program 4-B Rental Assistance Pilot Program. Rental
assistance is an effective way to prevent
homelessness and improve housing security. Nearly half of all households in the City Monterey are considered cost burdened,
meaning they devote more than 30 percent
of their annual income to housing costs
and are at high risk of becoming homeless.

Large families and low-income seniors are
disproportionately affected by severe cost
burden. While the Housing Authority of the
County of Monterey (HACM) provides rental assistance through the federal Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) Program, the
program is fully subscribed and there are an
additional 1,500 households on the voucher
waiting list. To help address the urgent need,
the City will establish a rental assistance
program that provides lower income renter
households with recurring rental assistance
at a fixed rate (known as a shallow subsidy)
to help improve housing stability and prevent displacement. The City has $250,000 in the General Fund to support this initiative.

Responsibility: City Manager
Timeframe: Beginning Q1 2024
Objective: Provide shallow subsidies to
20 lower income households per year
throughout the planning period
Funding: General Fund

Program 4-C Housing Rehabilitation Program. The City
administers and manages a Housing Rehabilitation Program which encompasses a variety of home repair grants and loans intended to improve the condition of substandard owner-occupied single-family homes, with special emphasis placed on the remediation of health and safety housing issues.

The program coordinator works closely with
participating homeowners, helping to select
a contractor, supervising construction along
with the contractor, and inspecting all work
completed - all at no cost to the homeowner.

The City will continue to implement this program to help low income senior homeowners remain in their homes.

Responsibility: Housing Office
Timeframe: Beginning Q1 2024 with annual
reporting the CAPER process
Objective: Repairs to 25 lower income
homes
Funding: CDBG
Program 4-D Expand Residential Uses to include Residential Care Facilities and Homeless Shelters. The Monterey Zoning Code classifies licensed residential care facilities providing
24-hour- a-day care to six or fewer persons
with non-medical conditions as a residential
use. Residential care facilities, limited, are
permitted in all residential districts (R-E, R-1,
R-2, and R-3). In contrast, State-licensed
residential care facilities providing 24- houra-day care to seven or more persons with non-medical conditions, are categorized as
a type of public/semipublic facility. This classification also includes homeless shelters.

Residential care facilities, general, require a
conditional use permit in all residential districts (R-E, R-1, R-2, and R-3). This program proposes revising the Zoning Ordinance to
classify all licensed residential care facilities
as a residential use that is permitted by-right
or, in the case of facilities that exceed a specific threshold, by approval of the Director in districts where residential uses are allowed.

Facilities will be subject to objective standards, such as providing employee parking, to ensure the facilities are a good fit in the
areas where they are established.

Program 4-E Eliminate Use Permit Requirements for
Supportive and Transitional Housing. The
Monterey Zoning Code includes definitions
for supportive and transitional housing that
distinguish these housing types based on
the length of tenure. The definition for supportive housing states that this housing is occupied by a target population and is linked
to on-site or off-site services. The definition
of transitional housing is identical to the
one in Government Code section 65582 of
the Housing Element law that buildings are
configured as rental housing developments
but makes no reference to the provision of
services. The City requires a use permit for
supportive and transitional housing with
four or more units, although residents of
supportive housing facilities may live in a
single unit and both types of facilities may
be operated as group housing. Program 2-B,
which will eliminate the disparate treatment
of residential and non-residential projects
with comparable development characteristics, will help to eliminate this obstacle.

The Code should also be revised to clarify
that the conversion of an existing multi-family housing development to accommodate supportive or transitional housing does not
require a new use permit.

Responsibility: Community Development
Department
Timeframe: As part of an omnibus Code
clean up effort, prepare revisions to Zoning
Code to comply with State law and bring to
City Council for adoption by end of 2024

based on objective standards

Program 4-F Allow Low Barrier Navigation Centers in
Mixed-Use and Nonresidential Districts.

In 2015, Monterey established the Safe
Parking Program (City Code section 38-126),
which allows the use of existing parking
lots on a temporary basis to provide individuals and families living in vehicles with a safe place to park overnight while working
towards a transition to permanent housing.

Actions the city needs to take in response
to the needs of the unhoused include
revising the Zoning Code to comply with
Government Code Section 65662 to allow
a Low Barrier Navigation Center (LBNC)
permitted by-right in mixed-use districts
and nonresidential zones that permit multifamily development. A LBNC is defined as a “housing-first, low-barrier, temporary, services-enriched shelter focused on helping homeless individuals and families to quickly
obtain permanent housing.” This program
also commits the city to amend the definition of “emergency shelters,” as required by Government Code section 65583(a)(4),
and to ensure that zones where shelters are
allowed as a permitted use are located near
amenities and services that serve homeless
individuals.

Monterey’s current regulations do not recognize Single-Room Occupancy (SRO) units as a type of housing. The Lighthouse Area
Specific Plan includes a definition for Single
Room Occupancy (SRO) facilities but does
not specify what type of approval Monterey requires for this land use. The Housing Action Plan (Chapter 4) commits the city to
revising the Zoning Ordinance and other related City regulations to recognize that SRO units, even if rented for less than 30 days,
are housing. SRO units should, at a minimum, be permitted in some commercial and higher density residential.
