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 not to receive the presentation.

DISCUSSION:

The City Council last received a comprehensive report and presentation from a consultant on the City’s pension obligations and options in March 2022. At that time, the City Council was presented with repayment scenarios and estimated results of various options to repay the unfunded liability.

During the 2021-22 fiscal year, the Council voted to approve establishing a pension Reserve Fund to address the unfunded Pension Liabilities and Other Post Employment Benefit (OPEB) Liability. Each year, the city is required to pay contributions to the CalPERS retirement system.

The contribution amount to be remitted is an actuarial-based calculation provided by CalPERS annually. The contributions to fund the pension are comprised of two components, (1) the normal cost and (2) amortization of the Unfunded Accrued Liability (UAL). The Normal cost is a percentage of the total active payroll. The percentage in recent years ranging from 10% to 13%. The UAL is the present value of future employer contributions for service already earned.

The contribution for the 24-25 fiscal year is $16,465,987 and is projected to be $17,400,000 for the FY 2025-26.

Classic employees (those hired before January 1, 2013) have agreed to contribute on a pre-tax basis a 3% or 5% cost share towards the Employer Contribution to CalPERS. This is in addition to the 8% or 9% employee contribution amount established by CalPERS. The percentages vary based on the bargaining unit agreements. PEPRA employees (those hired on or after January 1, 2013) do not contribute to cost sharing. However, PEPRA employees contribute 50% of the normal cost of the plan.

The Pension Liability for the Miscellaneous group is $324,486,573 reduced by the Net Position in the Fiduciary Plan of $215,093,541, leaving an unfunded balance of $109,393,032. The Pension Liability for the Safety group is $249,172,951, reduced by the Net Position in the Fiduciary Plan of $158,904,708, leaving an unfunded balance of $90,268,243 as of the last actuarial date of The Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB) Liability is $15,773,395 reduced by the Net Position in the Fiduciary Plan of $7,511,855, leaving an unfunded balance of $8,261,540 as of the June 2024 valuation date. The City’s total Pension and OPEB Liability is at $207,922,815 of the last actuarial date of June 30, 2022.

During the 2022-23 fiscal year, the Council voted to implement a Section 115 Trust with PARS with initial funding of $2M. Council also adopted a reserve policy for the Pension Reserve to annually fund the pension reserve account in the amount of $1M - $2.5M each year. Currently, the amount in the Section 115 trust is $2.3M. The balance in the reserve account is $4M.

Staff has engaged the professional actuarial firm Foster & Foster to complete a comprehensive review of the City’s CalPERS program, analyze options about the unfunded liability, and present to an update to the Council.

PUBLIC HEARING

8. City Council Approve the Planning Commission Recommendation to Adopt the 1st Reading of an Ordinance Amending Monterey City Code Section 38-29 and Section 38-32 to Add Bicycle/Equipment Rental as a Principally Permitted Use in the Community Commercial (C-2) and Cannery Row (CR) Zoning Districts (Exempt from CEQA per Public Resources Code Section 21083.3 and State CEQA Guidelines Section 15183) Action: Passed Ordinance to a second reading
Planning Manager Hill gave the staff presentation and answered Councilmembers' questions.

Based on the time, Mayor Williamson limited the time for public comment to two minutes per person. Public comment was received from: Bob Faulis, Jeff Davi representing the business owner, Joaquin Sullivan of Big Sur Adventures, and Adam Pinterits, who all spoke in favor of the ordinance; Kyle Wareham of Adventures by the Sea, who said that there were sufficient bike rental options already in the Cannery Row area; Barry Riddoch of Oscar's Playground, who expressed concern about safety and requested better enforcement; and Bob Bluth of the Planning Commission, who urged the Council to discuss safety issues, stating that the Planning Commission had not been sure that topic fell within their purview.

The Council discussed the matter. It was agreed that increasing access to bicycles such as bicycles would align with the City's goals to increase alternative modes of transportation and reduce traffic congestion. It was suggested that approving the Planning Commission's recommendation would support healthy business and economic development. On the one hand, it was suggested that a cap on the number of bicycle rentals might be necessary, and on the other hand it was posited that the open market would organically regulate the density of vendors without City-imposed limits.

Regarding safety, it was acknowledged that it was a major concern but distinctly separate from the ability for the Council to control how many businesses go in on Cannery Row. It was agreed that safety analyses should be conducted under the direction of the City Manager by the Planning, Police, and Fire departments. It was requested that these teams analyze accidents and review areas needing improvement, and consider ways to improve public outreach and education, and it was stated that incremental safety improvements should be done based on data.

Regarding zoning, it was considered that C-1 could be added if applicable upon further review by the Planning Commission, but it was determined that for the purposes of adopting the ordinance the proposed zoning should be kept as-is, and that further zoning considerations, including potentially expanding to other areas of the City, could be reviewed later.

On a motion by Councilmember Smith, seconded by Councilmember Rasch, and carried by the following vote, the City Council passed the ordinance to a second reading:

PUBLIC APPEARANCE (EVENING)
Council Regular Meeting, 3/18/2025, Item No. 3., Item Page 4, Packet Page 13 City Council Minutes March 4, 2025
5 11. First Reading of an Ordinance Amending Chapter 23, Sections 1, 2, and 9, Repealing Section 23-3 Subsections (a)-(c) and Section 20-85, and Adding Chapter 32, Section 5 Relating To Camping In Recreation Areas and On Other Public Property, and In Vehicles (Not a Project Under CEQA per Article 20, Section 15378 and Under General Rule Article 5, Section 15061) Action: Passed Ordinance to a second reading as amended to reflect a required distance of 1,000 feet from the property line of a school site, instead of two blocks Assistant City Attorney Salameh gave the staff presentation explaining that the intent was to update the City's ordinances to comply with recent case law, and informed the Council that staff recommended an amendment to the proposed ordinance to reflect a required distance of 1,000 feet from the property line of a school site, instead of "two blocks." She answered Councilmembers' questions.

Public comment was received from: Erica Walker, who expressed concern about homeless individuals and drug use; Mitchel Sawhney, who asked for no camping and more police attention in business districts; Esther Malkin, who said that Laguna Grande Regional Park should be included and asked the Council to consider a safe parking option; Tom Reeves, who expressed concern about car camping in neighborhoods and echoed the call for a safe place for car camping; Lorna Moffat, who stressed the need for humane and caring treatment of homeless people; Bryan Rosen, who echoed Ms. Moffat's concerns and stated that the proposed policy targeted poor people and veterans; and Kim Cutino, who said that the ordinance was a good start but that people do need somewhere to sleep. During public comment Councilmember Barber left the Chamber between 8:05 and 8:07 p.m.

On question from the Council, Assistant City Attorney Salameh provided more context and information on the Desertrain legal precedent and what it could mean for the City of Monterey.

She said that there was a robust diversion program that worked with individuals charged with misdemeanors to get help get them on a path toward success, and that people successfully completing the diversion program did not end up with a misdemeanor on their records. She highlighted provisions that applied in commercial districts prohibiting sitting and lying on the sidewalks. She clarified that under the proposed ordinance, camping would be prohibited in the Monterey's portion of Laguna Grande Regional Park.

On question from the Council, Police Chief Hober provided information about enforcement, enforcement challenges, and officers' discretion. He explained that the Community Action Team ("CAT") worked hard to try to help unhoused people and that some were unwilling to receive assistance.

On question from the Council, City Attorney Davi said she would analyze the issue of sitting and lying on the sidewalk at Fairgrounds Road and whether the City's sit/lie ordinance could be amended to apply to that area.

Chief Hober provided further context on issues requiring policing along the North Fremont corridor that went beyond sitting and lying on the sidewalk and said that his officers tried to be very proactive in preventing and addressing crime. The Council thanked Chief Hober for his efforts and those of his team, and noted that there were also issues with enforcement for recreational vehicles (RVs) parking and camping on North Fremont Street and Garden Road.

The Council expressed support for the ordinance as written. It was stated that the Council should adopt it and should still also recognize all the work still needing to be addressed. It was stated that the ordinance would be challenging to enforce. It was stressed that the Council should be laser-focused on creating housing, and that the City needed more shelters. Two Council Regular Meeting, 3/18/2025, Item No. 3., Item Page 5, Packet Page 14 City Council Minutes March 4, 2025
6 potential solutions offered were that the faith community could work again on helping to provide safe parking, and that the City could host safe parking trailers in its parking lots.

The Council requested that the next reading of the ordinance not be agendized on the Consent agenda, and that it include clear information on percentages and locations for both prohibited areas and allowable locations for camping in the City, information on expected impacts to public property, more structure and information on enforcement and fairness to cover the potential for people being treated differently, and updated language for the definition of public property in order to clarify intent.

On a motion by Councilmember Smith, seconded by Councilmember Rasch, and carried by the following vote, the City Council passed Ordinance to a second reading, to include the amendment recommended by City staff (1000 feet):

12. Discuss Insights from the January 29, 2025 City Council Workshop and Approve City Council Priorities (Not a Project Under CEQA Article 20, Section 15378 and Under General Rule Article 5, Section 15061)
Action: Discussed, Approved Council priorities: 1) Community Engagement and Government Transparency; 2) Public Safety: Police, Fire, Emergency Management and Code Compliance; 3) (tie) Fiscal Stewardship: Stabilizing Future Revenue Sources; 3) (tie) Housing: Homelessness Services; 5) (tie) Fiscal Stewardship: Economic Development; 5) (tie) Infrastructure: Maintain, Repair, and Replace; 5) (tie) Quality Workforce: Attraction and Retention; and 5) (tie) Housing: Affordable Housing and Secure Water Sources
Assistant City Manager Rojanasathira gave the staff presentation and answered Councilmembers' questions. During the presentation, Mayor Williamson left the Chamber from 9:17 to 9:18 p.m.

Public comment was received from: Gabriel Sanders of Revision West, who asked for the City to create a schema that would help housing developers understand how to earn water credits when they are available; Esther Malkin, who complimented the City for its governance and work on engagement and urged that pressure be put on Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) regarding power grid issues; and Nina Beety, who questioned the prioritization of City projects with regard to budget concerns.

The Council discussed the matter. It was requested that City staff develop a calendar showing the expected timeline for work on matters listed as Council priorities over the next year and a half, and it was noted while this would be helpful, City staff should not spend a lot of time developing this calendar because flexibility was required and things change over time. It was requested that the record reflect that the Council also expressed interest in reopening Casanova Oak Knoll Park Center at the January 29, 2025 special meeting. It was requested to know specifics of programming and projects, and "low hanging fruits," that City staff may have identified that would fit into the Council's prioritized categories of work projects. Enthusiasm was expressed for the suggestion of conducting a resident survey. It was stated that the recent Wildfire Ready Town Hall event had been excellent and that the topic could be brought to Council Regular Meeting, 3/18/2025, Item No. 3., Item Page 6, Packet Page 15 City Council Minutes March 4, 2025
7 residents annually in various formats to engage the public. It was stated that upcoming discussions regarding a central public safety facility would be beneficial. It was requested to know details about a water credit list, stating that many properties are vacant and that there are people waiting to build and develop with water.

On question from the Council, City Manager Uslar provided preliminary information and said that staff would return to the Council with an update. With input from Community Development Director Cole, City Attorney Davi provided context on the matter of a water credit list, stating that there was not necessarily such a list and that information on water credits was still a work in progress.

Council Regular Meeting, 3/18/2025, Item No. 5., Item Page 1, Packet Page 21 №10/24
CAMPAIGN DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENT (LEVINE ACT) APPLIES: No.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The City of Monterey Planning Office determined the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines (Article 5, Section 15061(b)(3) and Article 19, Section 15301, Class 1) because the project consists of an amendment to the Monterey City Code relating to the relocation of vessels during city sponsored harbor events, requirements for mooring inspections and repairs, and requirements for vessel insurance. CEQA Guidelines section 15061 identifies the ways in which a project may be exempt from CEQA. Subsection (b)(3) indicates that a project is exempt if “the activity is covered by the commonsense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment,” and “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.”
The project would not result in new development or create the potential for additional new development with approval of the project. Thus, the project would not result in physical alteration to the site or existing structures and would not result in direct or indirect impacts on the environment. Therefore, the project would not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable physical change in the environment, and, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3), it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the project may have a significant effect on the environment. The City, therefore, concludes that the project is exempt from CEQA pursuant to the provisions of CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3). The project is exempt under Article 19, Section 15301, Class 1 because the project consists of repairs to existing facilities, or in this case existing moorings. 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 have an 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. Exception a – Location – does not apply to projects which are exempt under Class 1.

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. There would be no cumulative impact because the project involves an amendment to the Monterey City Code relating to the relocation of vessels during city sponsored harbor events, requirements for mooring inspections and repairs, and requirements for vessel insurance.

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. No unusual circumstances are anticipated due to improvements’ limited scope and distinct locations.

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 Council Regular Meeting, 3/18/2025, Item No. 5., Item Page 2, Packet Page 22 №10/24
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 not be visible from a scenic highway.

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. No impact to sites included on any list compiled pursuant to Section 65962.5 of the Government code would occur.

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. The project would not impact historic resources as the project would involve a code amendment that would require mooring inspections and repairs to existing moorings. The project would not involve digging; therefore, the project would not have an impact on historical or archeological resources.

ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:

Council could choose not to adopt the ordinance and provide alternative direction to staff; however, this is not recommended. The requested amendments protect the City from legal responsibility in situations involving pollution or salvage operations related to private boats.

These amendments also clarify the existing ordinances, make them more efficient, and reduce risks associated with activities on the water.

DISCUSSION:

The proposed amendments to Monterey City Code (MCC) Chapter 17 aim to simplify and modernize regulations governing the waterfront area. Additionally, these changes are designed to reduce the City’s liability in cases involving pollution and salvage incidents related to privately owned vessels. By updating the code, the City seeks to ensure greater clarity and efficiency in its policies while mitigating potential risks associated with maritime activities. Key amendments to the code include mooring gear adequacy, inspection and repairs; special events; and insurance.

First Reading of Ordinance Amendments
On February 4, 2025, Council received a presentation on the proposed ordinance changes.

Discussion covered the proposed mooring inspection deadlines, and the challenges customers may face in acquiring mooring gear in a timely manner. Clarification was sought regarding the proposed vessel insurance requirements, with concerns raised that older, wooden, and/or liveaboard vessels may have difficulty securing insurance. A request was made for an extension to allow berth and mooring tenants additional time to obtain the necessary vessel insurance.

Council also discussed granting the Harbormaster authority to allow exceptions to the above deadlines under certain circumstances.

Harbor Community Input Sought
Following the First Reading, the Acting Harbormaster sent a letter to all Marina customers on February 21, 2025, with information regarding the amended changes. The letter was also posted at the front desk of the City of Monterey Harbormaster’s Office. The letter included instructions regarding how to submit questions and feedback regarding the proposed ordinance amendments. As of February 25, 2025, no comments or questions were received.

Council Regular Meeting, 3/18/2025, Item No. 5., Item Page 3, Packet Page 23 №10/24
Key Changes After First Reading
SECTION 3:

2. Gear Inspection: A new 60-day deadline has been established for necessary repairs, up from the originally proposed 30-day period; if repairs are not completed within this timeframe, the vessel must be removed from the mooring. The Harbormaster is authorized to remove vessels from moorings if the gear is found inadequate or repairs are not completed within 60 days.

However, the Harbormaster has discretion to grant additional time for annual inspections and necessary repairs upon a showing of good cause. Failure to meet inspection or repair requirements within 90 days, extended from the initially proposed 60 days, will result in automatic forfeiture of the mooring license.

3. Inadequate Mooring Gear: The Harbormaster has the authority to require stronger mooring gear for vessels, with license forfeiture occurring after 90 days if repairs remain incomplete, also an extension from the previously proposed 60-day period. The Harbormaster has the authority to remove a vessel in the event of an emergency.

SECTION 5:

All berth and mooring licensees will be required to maintain insurance coverage by September 1, 2025 with the deadline extended from the previously proposed July 1, 2025.

№09/24
AMENDING MONTEREY CITY CODE CHAPTER 17 RELATING TO RELOCATION OF

VESSELS DURING CITY SPONSORED HARBOR EVENTS, REQUIREMENTS FOR

MOORING INSPECTIONS AND REPAIRS, AND REQUIREMENTS FOR VESSEL

INSURANCE
THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MONTEREY DOES ORDAIN, as follows:

SECTION 1:

WHEREAS, Chapter 17 of the Monterey City Code regulates the Harbor and Marina; WHEREAS, the City desires to update Chapter 17 to simplify and modernize the code; WHEREAS, the amendments protect the City from legal responsibility in situations involving pollution or salvage operations related to private boats. These amendments also clarify the existing ordinances, make them more efficient, and reduce risks associated with activities on the water; and
WHEREAS, the City of Monterey Planning Office determined the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines (Article 5, Section 15061(b)(3) and Article 19, Section 15301, Class 1) because the project consists of an amendment to the Monterey City Code relating to the relocation of vessels during city sponsored harbor events, requirements for mooring inspections and repairs, and requirements for vessel insurance.

CEQA Guidelines section 15061 identifies the ways in which a project may be exempt from CEQA. Subsection (b)(3) indicates that a project is exempt if “the activity is covered by the common sense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment,” and “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.”
The project would not result in new development or create the potential for additional new development with approval of the project. Thus, the project would not result in physical alteration to the site or existing structures and would not result in direct or indirect impacts on the environment. Therefore, the project would not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable physical change in the environment, and, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3), it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the project may have a significant effect on the environment. The City, therefore, concludes that the project is exempt from CEQA pursuant to the provisions of CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3). The project is exempt under Article 19, Section 15301, Class 1 because the project consists of repairs to existing facilities, or in this case existing moorings.

Exception a – Location – does not apply to projects which are exempt under Class 1.

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 if fully set forth herein.

SECTION 3: Monterey City Code, Chapter 17, Section 39(d)(2) and (3) are hereby amended to read as follows:
“2. Gear Inspection. It shall be the responsibility of the mooring licensee to have all mooring gear inspected by someone competent to assess its condition at least on an annual basis. The results of the annual inspection shall be provided to the Harbormaster. If the inspection concludes that repairs are necessary, the licensee shall complete all necessary repairs within 60 days of the inspection. If the licensee fails to complete the annual mooring inspection and, if necessary, complete necessary repairs within 60 days, the licensee shall remove the vessel from the mooring until the mooring has passed the required inspection. If the licensee fails to remove the vessel, the Harbormaster, or their designee, has the right to remove the vessel and the licensee shall be responsible for all costs incurred to remove and secure the vessel in the Marina, including any applicable berthing fees. If the annual inspection and necessary repairs remain outstanding after 90 days, the mooring license is automatically forfeited and the Harbormaster, or their designee, has the right to remove the vessel from the Monterey Harbor at the expense of the vessel owner. Upon a showing of good cause by the licensee, the Harbormaster may grant an extension of time for the completion of annual inspections and necessary repairs. Finding good cause depends on all the circumstances, including the underlying purposes of this subsection. Licensee must demonstrate sufficient facts and good faith reasons to establish a reasonable basis to be excused from the deadlines set forth in this subsection.

3. Inadequate Mooring Gear. If, in the opinion of the Harbormaster, a mooring licensee is using gear that is not of sufficient strength to safely secure the vessel, and even if the gear is in good condition, the Harbormaster shall have the authority to require the licensee to supply stronger gear suitable for the size of the vessel. If the mooring licensee does not supply stronger gear within 60 days of notice from the Harbormaster, the licensee shall remove the vessel from the mooring until adequate mooring gear is in place. If the licensee fails to remove the vessel, the Harbormaster, or their designee, has the right to remove the vessel and the licensee shall be responsible for all costs incurred to remove and secure the vessel in the Marina, including any applicable berthing fees. This shall apply in all cases, including emergencies, where the Harbormaster or their designee deems it necessary to act immediately for safety or operational reasons.

Agenda Report
№10/24
FROM: Rafaela T. King, CPA, Finance Director
SUBJECT: Consider Appropriating an Amount Not to Exceed $9,500 for Travel Expenses for Mayor Williamson and Councilmember Barber's Visit in June, 2025, to Sister City Isola delle Femmine, Sicily, Italy (Not a Project Under CEQA per Article 20 Section 15378 and Under General Rule Article 5 Section 15061) RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council authorize appropriating an
amount not to exceed $9,500 from the General Fund to
cover travel expenses for Mayor Williamson and
Councilmember Barber’s visit in June, 2025, to
Monterey’s Sister City of Isola delle Femmine, Sicily,
Italy.

VALUE DRIVERS:

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

POLICY IMPLICATIONS:

The Council’s 2017 approval of the Sister City
relationship with Isola delle Femmine provided that
“there would be little, if any, out of pocket costs to the City of Monterey” associated with the relationship and that any modifications to the existing staffing and budget would require Council approval.

The City’s Purchasing Policy and Procedures Manual (Attachment 3) includes numerous provisions that apply to international travel by Councilmembers, including:

Travel, Reimbursement & Employee Expenditure Policy
(A)(4) All expenditures and/or reimbursements to City Council Members, Board and Commission Members, and Executive Management are subject to the City Manager and/or Finance Director’s approval.
and
Agenda Report Highlights
This action proposes the appropriation
of up to $9,500 for travel expenses
related to a visit by Mayor Williamson
and Councilmember Barber to
Monterey's Sister City, Isola delle
Femmine, Sicily, in June 2025.
 Council is considering appropriating
up to $9,500 for travel expenses for
this Sister City visit.
 This action requires Council
approval due to the 2017 policy
limiting out-of-pocket costs for the
Sister City relationship with Isola
delle Femmine
 There has been an interest in
utilizing City funds to build stronger
connections with Monterey’s Sister
Cities.

Date: 3/18/2025
Item No.: 6.

Council Regular Meeting, 3/18/2025, Item No. 6., Item Page 1, Packet Page 29 №10/24
(D)(3) OUT-OF-STATE TRAVEL - All out-of-state travel must have prior written approval of the City Manager.

Because the City Council’s current policy limits out of pocket costs to the City of Monterey for the City of Monterey’s Sister City relationship with Isola delle Femmine, this action would allow Mayor Williamson and Councilmember Barber to travel to Isola delle Femmine at the City’s expense.

CAMPAIGN DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENT (LEVINE ACT) APPLIES: No.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

The Mayor/Council Travel & Meetings budget is $7,500 for this FY. This line item is currently overbudget by $3,354. Adding this additional amount would make the line item overbudget by $12,820, and would require a budget adjustment to cover the cost.

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.

ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:

The City Council may opt to allocate the City funds required for this travel, or may choose not to allocate the funding in which case the Mayor and Councilmember may undertake the travel at their own expense.

DISCUSSION:

During the Council Comments portion of the Council meeting on March 4, 2025, Councilmember Barber and Mayor Williamson shared that they were planning to travel together on a Citysponsored Sister City visit to Isola delle Femmine, Sicily, Italy.

Because the 2017 agenda report (Attachment 2) and resolution (Attachment 3) establishing the Sister City relationship provided that there would be “little, if any, out of pocket costs to the City of Monterey,” and that any modifications to the existing staffing and budget would require Council approval, the matter is hereby brought to the Council for consideration.

The not-to-exceed costs associated with the visit per person are:
 $1,800 for airfare to and from Sicily and transportation within Sicily for Sister City site visits and meetings; and
 $284 per night for lodging in Isola delle Femmine for 7 nights, if lodging is not offered through the Sister City relationship; and
 $135 per day for per diem incidentals (e.g., meals)
Council Regular Meeting, 3/18/2025, Item No. 6., Item Page 2, Packet Page 30 №10/24
Total cost not-to-exceed per person is $4,733 for each of Mayor Williamson and Councilmember Barber.

If approved, Councilmembers attending the visit would remain subject to Chapter 6 of the City’s Purchasing Manual, which outlines claims for expenditures and/or reimbursements to City Councilmembers, Board and Commission Members, and City staff (Attachment 4).

A draft itinerary for the Sister City visit, prepared by the Comune di Isola delle Femmine, is attached to this report as Attachment 5.

Historically, City Councilmember travel to visit Monterey’s Sister Cities have been paid for individually by the Councilmember or by local Sister City Association or Friendship Association, and lodging in the Sister City has often been provided in the form of home shares generously offered by the Sister City. In other words, airfare and lodging for Sister City trips have not been City-funded. However, in recent months, members of the City Council have expressed interest in expanding relationships with Monterey’s Sister Cities and utilizing City funds to pay for travel and associated costs with the visit. Staff plans to bring a Councilmember Travel and Reimbursements Policy forward to the City Council to consider in the spring prior to the City’s FY 2025-26 budget discussion.

CITY ISOLA DELLE FEMMINE, SICILY, ITALY
WHEREAS, on August 15, 2017, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 17-141 C.S. establishing a Sister City relationship with Isola delle Femmine, Sicily, Italy, based on the two cities’ shared characteristics and the rich history of many current and past Monterey residents who came to Monterey from Isola delle Femmine;
WHEREAS, Resolution No. 17-141 C.S. and the agenda report introducing it specified that “there would be little, if any, out of pocket costs to the City of Monterey” associated with the relationship and that any modifications to the existing staffing and budget would require Council approval;
WHEREAS, at the Council meeting on March 4, 2025, Councilmember Barber and Mayor Williamson shared that they were planning to travel together on a City-sponsored Sister City visit to Isola delle Femmine;

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;

of staff time (@ $30 per hour), 4.5 hours per night of field use fees (@ $65 per hour) and two (2) hours per night (Friday/Saturday nights) of light use (@ $30 per hour). These fees are set forth in the City’s current approved Fee Schedule. Based on these fees and hourly use estimates, the total 2025 season Parks and Recreation fee charged to the Pecos League are estimated to be $9,630.

There will be no Parks Division cost, as field prep is not needed for artificial turf, and the League will be responsible for general cleanup (including restrooms) and any damage to the facility under the terms of the License Agreement. However, the level of play will be evaluated to see if any field improvements may need to be installed based on that evaluation.

ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:

The City of Monterey Planning Office determined the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines (Article 19, Section 15301, Class 1) because the project consists of approving a license agreement of a public facility (Frank E. Sollecito, Jr.

Ballpark), that would involve negligible or no expansion of the existing use. Furthermore, the project does not qualify for any of the exceptions to the categorical exemptions found at CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2.

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. There would be no cumulative impact because the project does not involve an expansion of the existing use or improvements to the public facility.

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. No unusual circumstances are anticipated as a result of licensing this public facility, the use of which would not involve an expansion of the existing use.

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. The project, licensing of the existing public facility, would not impact historic or archeological resources as no Council Regular Meeting, 3/18/2025, Item No. 7., Item Page 2, Packet Page 45 №10/24
improvements are proposed. Therefore, there would be no impacts to historic or archeological resources.

ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:

The City Council may either approve the use of Sollecito Ballpark by the Pecos League with conditions as recommended by staff, not approve the use of Sollecito Ballpark by the Pecos League, or approve the use of Sollecito Ballpark by the Pecos League with additional or different conditions to be specified by the City Council.

DISCUSSION:

Background
The City of Monterey’s Sollecito Ballpark is one of the most heavily used sports fields in the City. For over 60 years it has supported City-programmed activities, events and use by outside non-profit or recreational league groups. It was dedicated as the Frank E. Sollecito, Jr. Ballpark in December 1990.

Sollecito Ballpark remains a popular multi-use field, with the completion of the artificial turf and ADA improvement projects, funded by the Neighborhood and Community Improvement Program, City and grant funds. The facility experiences many days of back-to-back reservations for daily use, and every month many potential fee- paying user groups are turned away because of no available field time.

For example, FY 2023 - 2024 usage was as follows:

Pecos League Request
Council Regular Meeting, 3/18/2025, Item No. 7., Item Page 3, Packet Page 46 №10/24
The Pecos League, a rookie independent baseball league headquartered in Houston, Texas, started in 2010 as a for-profit organization. Beginning in 2017 the Pecos League started playing in California with teams in Bakersfield and High Desert. They are not affiliated with Minor or Major League Baseball. Their rosters consist of 22 players, 25 years old and younger, who are paid a weekly salary. The season runs from late May through the end of July with playoffs possibly in early August.

The Amberjacks played at Sollecito Ballpark for six years from 2017 – 2019 and again in 2021 – 2023 with a one-year break due to the COVID-19 pandemic. On October 28, 2024, the City of Monterey received a formal request letter from the Pecos League to return to Sollecito Ballpark for the 2025 season1..(Attachment 1).

Background and Staff Recommendation
Typically, for recreational baseball/softball ballpark use requests a Tournament Request Application is completed by the applicant and approved at the staff level. For Major Special Event Use requests at recreation or park facilities (including for-profit and non-profit entities) an application is received, processed by staff and reviewed by the PRC, who recommends conditions of approval to the City Council.

This is not the first time that the City staff has been approached by independent or professional sports leagues about the use of City facilities. In reviewing the Pecos League request, staff sought to maintain recreational use of Sollecito Ballpark as the top priority, while accommodating community interest in professional and independent baseball. It has been suggested that after the loss of the Bronco World Series, a Monterey-based independent team such as the “Monterey Amberjacks” could help spark interest in baseball from young people in Monterey and throughout the Peninsula.

Because of the considerations that arise from this type of ballpark use, staff recommends a one-year License Agreement with the Pecos League for 2025. Typically, a license agreement encompasses terms for use, describes conditions for permitted uses (including alcohol sales and consumption), traffic control plans, restrictions on hours of operation, noise control, fence plans, coordination with the Police Department, fees, maintenance and operation, emergency access and fire regulations, indemnification and hold harmless requirements, insurance, termination terms and any other provisions set forth in the agreement.

Below is the proposed Pecos League game schedule:

1. Games would be on the following days and dates.
(Friday) - 7/4 from 4:30 PM – 9:30 PM.
(Saturdays) - 5/31,6/7,6/14,6/21,6/28,7/5,7/12,7/19 and 7/26 from 4:30 PM – 9:30PM. (Sunday) - 5/25,6/1,6/8,6/15,6/22,6/29,7/6,7/13,7/20 and 7/27 from 11:30 AM – 4:30PM.

The dates and times listed above were previously reviewed by staff and are available.

Traditionally, Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings in the summer are kept open by staff to accommodate late season play and playoffs. Per MCC 23-5, City park closing hours are 1 Although the request letter was received from the Pecos League in October 2024, Attachment 1 incorrectly references 2017 in several instances
Council Regular Meeting, 3/18/2025, Item No. 7., Item Page 4, Packet Page 47 №10/24
established by the Parks and Recreation Commission. Typically, Ballpark lights are off by 10 p.m., unless written authorization from the Parks and Recreation Director is received per City Code section 23-5. Park Closing Hours and City Code section 23-12 Permits Required for Group and Other Activities; Prohibited Activities
Staff recommend approval of use of Sollecito Ballpark for the requested dates and times upon City Council approval of a License Agreement with the Pecos League.

2. The games are open to the general public, tickets would be $10 for games general admission. There will be various discounts offered.

Staff recommend approval of admission charge for Pecos League games per a condition of the License Agreement.

3. The Pecos League will provide a beer license.

Per MCC 23-4(c) regarding the use of alcohol in Sollecito Ballpark “by valid written permit issued by the Director,” staff recommend approval of the sale and consumption of beer at the Ballpark with the following conditions included in the License Agreement:
 Licensee must obtain all applicable permits and licenses related to alcohol sales  Licensee shall adhere to established guidelines for safe alcohol service at special events as established by the California Alcoholic Beverage Control – Server Awareness LEAD program and shall insure that all staff involved in alcohol service have received training under said guidelines
 Licensee agrees to the City’s Indemnification and Hold Harmless provisions in the License Agreement
 Licensee shall purchase liquor liability insurance coverage listing the City of Monterey as an additional insured
 Licensee shall hire City approved private security for the duration of each permitted use  No alcohol may be taken or consumed outside of the licensed area  Licensee shall cease sale of alcohol after the seventh inning of any game

5. The Pecos League would like the ability to be able to sell outfield banner advertising on the fence.

Staff recommend that the Pecos League be permitted to sell temporary banners (except those advertising alcohol, tobacco, e-cigarettes or marijuana) on the Ballpark outfield, to be hung without obstructing any of banners currently on the outfield fence, as authorized by Monterey City Code section 31-3(C) and as specified in the License Agreement and Ballpark Advertising Program .

6. The Pecos League would like the ability to run a 50/50 raffle.

Raffles are regulated under the California Penal Code and only eligible private, tax- exempt nonprofit organizations qualified to conduct business in California for at least one year prior to conducting the raffle may conduct raffles to raise funds for the organization and charitable or beneficial purposes in California. Because the Pecos League is a for- profit organization, their request to conduct a raffle would be prohibited by law.

Downtown Monterey will benefit from a successful Pecos League. Game attendees will have the opportunity to eat before or after the game at local restaurants and enjoy the downtown and waterfront areas. Local business groups will be encouraged to collaborate with the Pecos Council Regular Meeting, 3/18/2025, Item No. 7., Item Page 5, Packet Page 48 №10/24
League on creating a "destination" event. The Pecos League could further stimulate the Downtown Monterey's economy.

exceed $254,100.00 for inspection services
provided by M1W from March 30, 2025 through
March 30, 2030 of food service establishments
(FSEs) that are granted a waiver from having to
install a grease interceptor and instead install
grease traps; and

2. Authorize the City Manager, or their designee, to
execute a Memorandum of Agreement with the
Monterey One Water (M1W) to Provide Inspection
Services related to the Sewer Pipe Blockage
Control Program, and Stormwater Management
Program.

Date: 3/18/2025
Item No.: 8.

Council Regular Meeting, 3/18/2025, Item No. 8., Item Page 1, Packet Page 53 №10/24
The State Waste Discharge Requirements mandate that the City develop and implement a Sewer Pipe Blockage Control Program (formerly Fat, Oil, and Grease Control Program) for its sanitary sewer collection system. City Code section 30-2 adopts M1W’s wastewater regulations by reference, granting both the City and M1W to administer these regulations within City limits.

M1W also has the authority to inspect a commercial establishment for wastewater compliance.

Additionally, the State Stormwater Permit requires municipalities to establish procedures to proactively identify illicit discharges into the storm water system and mandates business inspections for commercial and industrial facilities draining to Areas of Special Biological Significance (ASBS).

CAMPAIGN DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENT (LEVINE ACT) APPLIES: No.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

The five-year contract cost for inspection services from March 30, 2025, through March 30, 2030, is not-to-exceed $254,100.00 as outlined below in funding per fiscal year. The funding will come from revenues collected in the Sewer Line Maintenance Fund from Sewer Grease Trap Fees paid by all FSEs that are granted a waiver from having to install a grease interceptor and instead install grease traps, as outlined in Section 30-11.1 of City Code.

Total Projected Cost*
25-26 26-27 27-28 28-29 29-30 Total
$46,000.00 $48,300.00 $50,700.00 $53,200.00 $55,900.00 $254,100.00 *Assumes 5% Increase in Costs Annually
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.

ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:

Council could choose not to approve or fund the agreement with M1W. In this case, City staff would need to conduct the proposed business inspections. However, City staff lack the expertise to assess the operation and maintenance needs of grease pretreatment devices.

Without M1W’s support, City staff would require an estimated 1,200 hours to complete the necessary inspections within the five-year term. Currently, the City does not have sufficient staffing resources or required experience to perform this task and meet this demand.

M1W has a proven track record of successfully conducting grease pretreatment and stormwater business inspections for the City. Additionally, M1W has a vested interest in ensuring compliance with grease pretreatment requirements, as this directly impacts wastewater flows before they reach the regional treatment plant.

Council Regular Meeting, 3/18/2025, Item No. 8., Item Page 2, Packet Page 54 №10/24
DISCUSSION:

The City of Monterey is required to comply with various regulatory requirements related to the operation and maintenance of the sanitary sewer collection system and municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) including the implementation of:

1. Sewer Pipe Blockage Control Program (formerly Fats, Oils, and Grease Control Program) per the Statewide Waste Discharge Requirements (WDRs) General Order for Sanitary Sewer Systems Order No. WQ 2022-0103-DWQ, and;

2. Stormwater Management Program per the Statewide WDRs for Stormwater Discharges from Small Municipal Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4s) Order No. 2013-0001- DWQ.

Historically, M1W provides contract services to several member agencies, including the City of Monterey, to help implement these programs. This regional approach, led by M1Ws Source Control Division, leverages economies of scale, ensuring a consistent and cost-effective method to meet the regulatory requirements of both the Sewer Pipe Blockage Control and Stormwater Management Programs.

The previous five-year Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the City and M1W for these services has expired. In collaboration with M1W, City Staff revised the MOA, updating necessary administrative details and regulatory references.

Under the revised MOA, M1W Staff will be authorized to continue providing the following services on behalf of the City of Monterey:
 Conduct inspections for compliance with the Sewer Pipe Blockage Control and Stormwater Management Programs.
 Complete a standard checklist of inspection items, as agreed by both parties, to meet the respective program requirements.
 Report inspection findings and compliance concerns to the City The proposed MOA ensures the continuation of grease control and storm water business inspections for those FSE facilities in the City. The goal is to conduct 120 FSE inspections annually, covering approximately 300 FSEs to ensure ongoing compliance with program requirements. Specifically, the program aims to:
 Identify existing grease pretreatment equipment at FSEs.  Ensure that the equipment meets applicable codes, including proper sizing for the business operations.
 Verify that businesses are properly maintaining and disposing of grease waste.

M1W will notify the City of any non-compliance issues, recommend appropriate compliance actions, provide educational materials to businesses, and conduct follow up inspections. M1W inspectors will be available to participate in meetings between the City and business owners to address non-compliance issues.

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:

This is a required report. There is no alternative.

DISCUSSION:

The City’s General Plan was last updated on July 16, 2024 by Resolution 24-118 which adopted new Land Use, Housing, Safety, and Circulation Elements. A comprehensive list is included as Appendix A. Most General Plan policies and related action items have been implemented through the adoption of ordinances or resolutions, incorporated into the regular government activities of the applicable departments, or included in development proposals as they are reviewed for consistency with the City’s policies. In 2024, the City made significant progress in updating and implementing the General Plan.

On March 11, 2025, the Planning Commission (PC) received the 2024 Report and provided an opportunity for public comment. The PC adopted a resolution accepting the 2024 General Plan Annual Report for review and public comment.

Land Use Element
Policy a.4. Focus new development primarily in commercial districts and mixed use neighborhoods so as to support the vitality of existing businesses, optimize the use of utility infrastructure, and reduce vehicle trip frequency, length, and associated emissions.

Policy b.1. Develop and implement specific plans and zoning to guide development in the mixed use neighborhoods, recognizing that each mixed use neighborhood is unique and requires tailored development and design standards, multi-modal improvements, and infrastructure financing strategies.

Policy b.2. Promote context-sensitive design within mixed use neighborhoods, based on objective standards for height, bulk, scale, landscaping, parking, setbacks, streetscapes, alleys and other aspects of development.

Response: In 2024, three specific plan areas (Lighthouse, Downtown, North Fremont Specific Plans) were updated to allow for greater density, multi-modal improvements, and altered parking and design standards that would reduce vehicle trips and improve mixed use and commercial districts.

Circulation Element
Goal c. A safe, reliable, connected and integrated bicycle transportation network that encourages bicycling as a primary mode of transportation for residents, employees and visitors.

Council Regular Meeting, 3/18/2025, Item No. 9., Item Page 2, Packet Page 60 №10/24
Policy b. 1. Create and maintain a roadway system of “Complete Streets” that is safe and easy to use for all modes of transportation.

Response: Complete Streets policies were incorporated into the City’s Circulation Element in 2024.

Goal f. A transportation network which supports the reduction of transportation related greenhouse gas emissions through the reduction of vehicle miles traveled.

Policy f.1. Apply vehicle miles traveled (VMT) as the metric to measure transportation environmental impacts for CEQA, in accordance with SB 743.

Policy f.2. Apply VMT thresholds of significance for proposed developments, land use plans, transportation projects, and any other plans or development projects in the Move Monterey Multimodal Plan.

Response: In addition to the Complete Streets policies incorporated into the City’s Circulation Element in 2024, three specific plans were updated to reduce vehicle trips and improve the City’s transportation network.

Goal h. A transportation network supported by projects and programs that work towards zero collisions involving serious or fatal injuries.

Response: City staff continually monitors accident rates and trends. Staff applied for and received grant funding from the Safe Streets and Roads for All Federal Grant to develop a local road safety plan which will utilize a data driven approach to identify rates and trends and proven countermeasures to address the trends. Outreach was initiated in 2024.

Policy d.6. Continue to identify and prioritize projects which would improve accessibility for all pedestrians, such as ADA ramps, audible pedestrian signals, sidewalk widenings or any other transportation infrastructure improvement that could improve accessibility Response: The City approved an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Transition Plan 2024 Update to identify and prioritize disabled access projects, estimate project costs, present an implementation schedule and funding strategy, and monitoring programs, updating the existing Transition Plan.

Housing Element
The State of California requires regions to address housing issues and needs based on future growth projections for the area. The Housing and Community Development (HCD) Department allocates regional housing needs to councils of government throughout the state. The Association of Monterey Bay Area Governments (AMBAG) then allocates to each city and unincorporated county their “fair share” of the region’s projected housing needs by household income level. This distribution is commonly referred to as the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA).

The intent of the RHNA is to ensure that local jurisdictions address not only the needs of their immediate areas but also fill the housing needs for the entire region. Additionally, a major goal Council Regular Meeting, 3/18/2025, Item No. 9., Item Page 3, Packet Page 61 №10/24
of the RHNA is to ensure that every community provides an opportunity for a mix of affordable housing to all economic segments of its population.

The City’s General Plan Housing Element includes programs and actions to be taken to meet these objectives and reflects the RHNA for the City of Monterey. For the 2024-2031 RHNA Cycle, the City of Monterey requirement was 3,654 new housing units. In 2024, construction of 15 housing units was completed, including two (2) single-family dwellings and thirteen (13) ADU’s. Table 1 below shows housing unit data for calendar year 2024.

The number one constraint to housing development is water supply. Without resolving the City’s water supply issues, housing production will not meet State goals.

Council Regular Meeting, 3/18/2025, Item No. 9., Item Page 4, Packet Page 62 №10/24
The City has not satisfied Goal m. “Develop long-term water supplies and conservation methods so that there is sufficient water to implement General Plan goals.” The following is a summary of zoning updates that were conducted in 2024 and their associated program progress, which are further elaborated on within the goals, policies, and program table included as Appendix A.

Housing Zoning Updates in 2024:

1. Ordinance No. 3688:
o 1-B Multi-Family Residential Overlay Amendments: Expanded the Multi-Family Residential Overlay District to include the Pacific/Munras/Cass area and the County Courthouse site, increasing density to 60 dwelling units per acre (du/ac) and allowing ministerial permitting when affordable housing is included. o 1-L County Courthouse Site: Re-zoned the courthouse site at 1200 Aguajito Road to Medium Density Multifamily (R-3) with Multifamily Overlay to support housing development.
o 2-A By-Right Zoning Sites: Allowed ministerial permitting for qualifying nonvacant commercial sites designated for lower-income housing.

2. Ordinance No. 3689:
o 2-F Update Density Bonus Ordinance & 3-C Local Density Bonus: Updated the Density Bonus ordinance to comply with State law and established additional local incentives for projects with higher proportions of larger units or moderateincome units.

3. Resolution No. 24-188:
o 1-C Focused Specific Plan Updates:

1. North Fremont Specific Plan: Increased density and height limits, reduced parking requirements, and allowed ministerial permitting for affordable housing.

2. Downtown Specific Plan: Added development incentives and increased height limit in the Alvarado District.

3. Lighthouse Specific Plan: Allowed 100% residential development and parking flexibility for residential projects.

4. Resolution No. 24-154:
o 2-E Revise Parking Requirements: Amended the Downtown Specific Plan in September 2024 to eliminate minimum parking requirements for residential uses.

These programs focused on increasing housing development, especially affordable housing, through zoning changes, density increases, and incentives for developers.

Conservation Element
Goal e. Encourage the effective and efficient use of energy in all its critical forms by public and private users alike.

Council Regular Meeting, 3/18/2025, Item No. 9., Item Page 5, Packet Page 63 №10/24
Policy e.1. Encourage energy sources which provide part or all of the energy needed for buildings.

Program e.1.1. Consider aesthetically compatible independent energy sources in new public and private buildings.

Program e.1.2. Encourage energy retrofitting in existing residential and commercial structures.

Policy e.2. Educate the public about energy conservation.

Program e.2.1. Support public education activities that dramatize cost-saving benefits of energy conservation to local consumers.

Program e.2.2. Encourage the hotel, motel, and restaurant associations to maintain an energy conservation program on a continual basis.

Policy e.3. Work with other local, state and federal agencies, public utilities and community organizations to implement energy conservation and longer-range renewable energy development programs.

Response: In 2017, the City of Monterey was one of the key founders of Monterey Bay Community Power (now Central Coast Community Energy). Central Coast Community Energy is a Community Choice Energy agency established by local communities to source carbon-free electricity for Monterey, San Benito, and Santa Cruz counties and now parts of San Luis Obispo County while retaining PG&E’s traditional role delivering power and maintaining electric infrastructure.

In 2024, this program continues to fulfill the City’s goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and increase opportunities for energy saving programs. The City has met its goals to date for the most recent AMBAG greenhouse gas audit.

Open Space Element
Goal c. Preserve greenbelts to ensure an overall visual impression of open space on the hillsides above Monterey, between neighborhoods and along major transportation corridors.

Policy c.1. Maintain greenbelts as open space.

Policy c.2. Coordinate with the County to preserve greenbelts, which form the backdrop of Monterey.

Goal d. Preserve and improve lakes and waterways as important visual, habitat, flood protection, and recreation resources.

Policy d.1. Continue to preserve Lake El Estero, Del Monte Lake, Roberts Lake, Laguna Grande, Washerwoman’s Pond, and Lagunita Mirada as visual open space features.

Policy d.4. Protect native plants, animals, and native habitats in Lake El Estero, Del Monte Lake, and Laguna Grande.

Policy d.6. Continue to allow active recreational use of the lakes.

Policy d.7. Work with the City of Seaside to preserve and enhance Roberts Lake and Laguna Grande.

Response: City staff has worked with the City of Seaside and Monterey Peninsula Regional Parks District under the Joint Powers Authority for maintenance of Laguna Grande Park, meeting throughout 2024. The project will implement maintenance strategies to create a more accessible, safe, and long-lasting park for the surrounding community and region. A Coastal Development Permit application has been submitted to the Coastal Commission for this project.

Safety Element
Policy a.33. Adopt and implement the Community Wildfire Protection Plan to guide the restoration and maintenance of landscapes, promote fire-adapted communities, and strengthen response to wildfire. Pursue funding to facilitate structural retrofits, roadway improvements, and abatement of vegetative hazards.

Response: With the increased severity and frequency of wildfires in California, community wildfire planning is increasingly important to help prepare for and adapt to wildfire. Community Wildfire Protection Plans (CWPPs) are a tool to help reduce the severity and impact of wildfires and increase community resilience. In 2023, an updated CWPP was completed for the Cities of Monterey, Carmel-by-the-Sea, and Pacific Grove, and implementation began in 2024. Over 56% of land within these cities is located in a high or very high fire hazard severity zone. The CWPP was developed with input and direction from stakeholders, agency representatives, and community members.

Policy b.6. Install clear and comprehensive signage and wayfinding to facilitate smoother traffic flow and direct residents and visitors effectively to evacuation routes.

Response: Wayfinding signage, including sensors and message signs, installed and periodically assessed for improvements.

Economic Element

Response: In 2024, City staff continued to work with California Coastal Commission staff and local businesses regarding the maintenance of outdoor dining areas.

Council Regular Meeting, 3/18/2025, Item No. 9., Item Page 7, Packet Page 65 №10/24
Program b.4.1. Investigate ways to support the Naval Postgraduate School and Defense Language Institute so that they remain in the City of Monterey, including provision of services to support the operation of the facilities.

Policy c.4. Support the military uses in the community with essential public services.

Response: The City of Monterey is home to multiple military facilities including the Presidio of Monterey, Naval Post Graduate School, and Fleet Numerical. These facilities are predominately education and research oriented and are a cornerstone of the City’s economy.

The City of Monterey continues to provide essential public works services to its military partners.

There is no boundary between the infrastructure systems and maintenance inside and outside the military bases.

Historic Preservation Element
Program a.1.7. Maintain and update the City’s historic incentive programs to support historic property owners, including grant programs, land use incentives, flexible zoning and parking standards, property tax relief, Historic Building Code, and expedited processing for historic resources.

Response: In 2024, the City continued to inspect Mills Act contract properties in the City to ensure compliance with each property’s respective maintenance schedule and investment. City staff continues to monitor Mills Act contracts to encourage preservation of historic properties.

Staff recommends the City Council adopt a Resolution accepting the 2024 General Plan Annual Report.

2 1. Introduction
Purpose
Government Code section 65400(a)(2) requires the City to annually prepare a report regarding the status of the City’s General Plan and progress in its implementation (General Plan Progress Report) and provide the General Plan Progress Report to the Office of Planning and Research (OPR) and the Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD).

General Plan Background
California State law requires that each city adopt a comprehensive, long-term general plan for the physical development of the area under its jurisdiction. General plans must include seven elements that together compose an integrated set of goals, policies, and action programs.

These seven required elements are land use, circulation, housing, conservation, open space, safety, and noise. In addition, a city may adopt optional elements that relate to the physical development of the community. The City of Monterey General Plan contains the following elements:
• Urban Design (optional)
• Land Use (required)
• Circulation (required)
• Housing (required)
• Conservation (required)
• Open Space (required)
• Safety (required)
• Noise (required)
• Economic (optional)
• Social (optional)
• Historic Preservation (optional)
• Public Facilities (optional)
The General Plan is the City’s official policy that guides decisions affecting future physical development and change within the City. The General Plan was originally adopted in January 2005. A number of General Plan amendments have been adopted since 2005.

Council Regular Meeting, 3/18/2025, Item No. 9., Item Page 12, Packet Page 70

3 2. General Plan Amendment Status
Local governments are required to keep their General Plans current and internally consistent.

Although General Plans must be kept current, there is no specific requirement that a local government update its General Plan on a particular timeline, with the exception of the Housing Element, which is required to be updated every eight years. As of December 2024, the General Plan has been amended ten times since its adoption. The Resolution #, date and summary of amendments are detailed below:
• Resolution No. 06-79 (June 6, 2006) – Amended the Safety Element policy regarding development on slopes.
• Resolution No. 07-182 (October 2, 2007) – Amended land use map to recognize a parcel as parks, recreation and open space
• Resolution No. 09-086 (June 2, 2009) – Amended the Fire Hazard Severity Zones Map to reflect the updated fire hazard zones.
• Resolution No. 09-105 (July 7, 2009) – Adopted new Housing Element • Resolution No. 10-161 (November 2, 2010) – Resolve mapping errors • Resolution No. 13-131 (August 6, 2013) – Amended various elements to address the Downtown, Lighthouse/Foam and North Fremont Specific Plans, updated flood information and incorporated the Mutli Modal Level of Service • Resolution No. 16-042 (March 23, 2016) - Adopted a new Housing Element • Resolution No. 19-093 (June 4, 2019) – Amended General Plan to allow multifamily residential uses in the Industrial land use designation and to include Garden Road as an area appropriate for workforce housing.

4 3. General Plan Update and Implementation Progress Report In 2024, the City completed a significant update to the General Plan and replaced the Land Use, Circulation, Housing and Safety Elements. The General Plan update began in August 2022. In 2022 and 2023, the City conducted extensive community outreach, coordinated with agencies and military liaisons, and brought updates to decision makers. In 2024, a significant amount of the General Plan update and EIR was completed, public comments were received on the General Plan and EIR. Staff coordinated with the California Department of Housing Community Development (HCD) on various iterations of the Housing Element, and public hearings were held. Below is a summary of the General Plan Update:

General Plan Update
2022/2023 Community Outreach, Agency Coordination, and Progress Updates to Decision Makers
Community involvement was 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, decision-maker meetings, mailers, pop-up outreach at popular locations around town, an online survey, as well as ongoing communication with the community online at the project’s website. A summary of these engagement activities is described below:
“Listening Sessions” and Focused Group Discussions
At the outset of the process, 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 program of actions in the Housing Element, including Multi-Family Residential Overlay Amendments (Program 1-B), Permit Streamlining Pilot Project to fast-track infill housing development in core areas of the city (Program 1-D), and Education Workforce Housing Overlay to permit housing development by right up to 30 du/ac on urban infill sites owned by Monterey Peninsula Unified School District (Program 1-E). These programs address development feasibility and can be found in detail in Chapter 4 Housing Action Plan.

Citywide Mailers
The City sent postcards to every household in Monterey at two key points in the process to help to raise awareness of the project and the process and keep community members informed of status and key dates. The mailers announced the launch of the community online survey that helped inform the sites inventory, as well as dates/times of community open house meetings.

Web and Social Media
Council Regular Meeting, 3/18/2025, Item No. 9., Item Page 14, Packet Page 72

EXHIBIT A
5 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 was regularly updated throughout the course of the project to provide 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.

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, 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 about housing strategies and programs in the Housing Element. Pop-up outreach events targeted service and hospitality workers, as well as lower-income wage earners who work in Monterey to learn about their housing experiences. The events were also an opportunity to hand out postcards advertising the community online survey. Public input received was used to inform programs in Chapter 4, the Housing Action Plan, including programs that address housing affordability, promote a wider variety of housing types and sizes, help ease displacement pressure, and facilitate additional water supply to support new housing development.

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 focused in particular on eight areas of Monterey with the greatest potential to accommodate new housing or other types of development in the coming years, and the questions were designed to solicit feedback that will help plan where new housing, employment, and shopping should be located and how to achieve other community objectives like improving transportation options, revitalizing older commercial streets, and preserving and enhancing neighborhood character. The survey provided residents with an opportunity to help identify and evaluate strategies for accommodating housing that informed the sites inventory and helped the City meet the legal requirements for the Housing Element. The survey was promoted via the City’s website and email blasts to community members, citywide mailers to all households in Monterey, as well as posters and newspaper. In total, 1,068 respondents participated in the survey. The results of the survey guided selection of sites for inclusion on the inventory and strategies to facilitate development and redevelopment of sites. Community support for new housing was strongest in the Fort Ord, North Fremont, and Garden Road opportunity areas, so programs in the Element focused on land use and zoning changes to increase the potential for new housing in these areas. Respondents indicated the highest level of support for density and taller buildings downtown, so programs were added to raise the height limit in the Alvarado district and to incentivize high density development, such as through municipal share parking and permit streamlining. Recognizing that many community members want attainably priced starter homes and development harmonized with the natural environment, strategies for thoughtfully integrating housing at Fort Ord and in the Highway 68 Area plan were developed. Site selection was also informed by community concerns for sea level rise risk in low lying areas of the city, and programs in the Action Plan address community concerns about adequate water supply to serve new development.

6 Public Review
The Draft Housing Element was available for public review between August 2 and September 4, 2023. In total, 77 comment letters were received during the 30-day public review period.

Additionally, over 80 community members attended the Open House meeting on August 7, 2023 and provided comments at the various stations related to Housing Element topics. Overall, commenters expressed support for the content of the Draft Housing Element, including the focus on promoting and facilitating infill development and the incorporation of innovative strategies to expand housing options for all incomes and demographics in the community. A memo included in Appendix G of the Housing Element outlines how community input has been reflected in the Draft Housing Element. Public comments informed refinements to the Draft Housing Element prior to submittal to the State for review, including the addition of some housing opportunity sites to the inventory based on expressions of owner interest and the addition and refinement of programs in the Action Plan to reflect issues of importance to the community. Program 1-E Education Workforce Housing Overlay was refined based on input from the Monterey Peninsula Unified School District; and Program 1-K Employer Sponsored Housing was added based on input from Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula (CHOMP) and other local employers; and Program 1-I Highway 68 Area Plan Update was refined to include coordination with the County on an Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District (EIFD) to help fund the cost of infrastructure to support development in and adjacent to the Highway 68 Plan Area. The focus of the Fort Ord/Ryan Ranch Specific Plan was also updated to prioritize planning and development for the areas that can be most feasibly be developed in the near-term, recognizing the inter-agency coordination needed for remediation of hazardous materials on portions of the former military base.

Community Open House
A community open house was held on August 7, 2023, within the 30-day public comment period on the Draft Housing Element, to provide community members with an opportunity to review and share input on the content of the Draft Housing Element. The event featured a series of stations on topics in the Draft Housing Element including housing barriers, sites inventory, workforce housing, fair housing, and emergency preparedness and response. Participants were able to visit as many stations as they’d like and provide input at each interactive activity. The meeting also provided community members with an opportunity to comment on the scope and content of environmental issues that will need to be considered in the environmental impact report (EIR). A memo summarizing community input and how it has been incorporated into the Element is included in Appendix G of the Housing Element. Based on participant input and owner interest, sites Downtown and in the North Fremont opportunity area were added to the inventory.

Additionally, the Rental Assistance Pilot Program was updated to specifically reference low income senior renters as a vulnerable population to be served by the program. Participant input is also reflected through the addition of Program 1-M and 1-N, which seek to facilitate ADU production with educational outreach, technical support, and pre-approved ADU floor plans.

Decision-Maker Review
A joint study session was held on February 21, 2023, before the Planning Commission and City Council to report on the progress of Monterey 2031 project. The study session began with a presentation covering Monterey’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) requirement, the housing demand versus water supply, and overview of Housing, Safety, and Land Use Elements. Further, a series of study sessions before the Planning Commission and City Council were held on June 13 and 20, 2023, as the components of the Housing Element were developed and refined, to provide additional opportunity for public input and decision-maker review. These presentations introduce several areas of the City with the greatest potential to accommodate new housing, an assessment of the capacity for new housing in each area, based on State site suitability guidelines and potential strategies to facilitate development in the area. Additionally, following the close of the 30-day public comment period, a joint study session with the Planning Commission and City Council was held to review community feedback on the Public Review Draft and receive direction on any edits or revisions to make as a result. The presentation from that study session is included in Appendix G of the Housing Element. Based on input from City decision-makers, incentives for ADU/JADU development were focused so as to promote the construction of affordable ADUs throughout the city, and maximum permitted density was increased in the Garden Road and North Fremont opportunity areas, recognizing the important of promoting high density infill development in these locations.

Program 1-B MultiFamily Residential
Overlay Amendments.

The City has established
a Multifamily Residential
(MFR) Overlay District,
set forth in City Code
section 38-99.4 et seq.,
applicable to properties
along the south side of
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 and
the Pacific/Munras/Cass
area have attracted
significant developer
interest in recent times
and the City will amend
the MFR overlay and
related standards to
further facilitate housing
development in these
areas, which have a total
combined area of 90
acres. Specifically,
through this program the
City will amend the MFR
Overlay to:
• Increase the maximum
permitted density from 30
to 60 du/ac;
• Permit residential uses
“by right” without
discretionary review per
Implementation deadline Q3 2024.

Status: Completed.

The City has an established Multifamily Residential Overlay District (MFR) Overlay District, set forth in City Code section 38-

99.4 et seq. The existing overlay applies to properties along the south side of Garden Road and permits the conversion of existing commercial and office buildings to housing and the development of new housing at densities up to 30 du/ac.

The amendment expands the existing MFR overlay to include portions of the City located in the Pacific/Munras/Cass area as well as the County Courthouse site located at 1200 Aguajito Road and incorporates an increased density of 60 dwelling units per acre (du/ac) in all overlay areas. The amendment further facilitates housing development in these areas by allowing ministerial permitting of residential development when at least 20 percent of the proposed units are affordable to lower-income households in accordance with Government Code section
65583.2(h) and (i). In addition to defining three unique geographical overlay zones, the amendment establishes four distinct subsections of land use and development standards addressing setbacks, height, tree removals, etc.

associated challenges,
the specific plans
incorporate strategies to
assist with the financial
feasibility of high density
infill housing
development, including
reduced parking

development standards
(including standards for
building height, setbacks,
parking) to integrate
higher density product,
establish appropriate
transitions to adjacent

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

comply with SB 9 and to
promote and facilitate
SB9 housing as
appropriate in Monterey.

Further, to promote
housing opportunities for
very low-income families
with children in singlefamily neighborhoods in
Monterey, the ordinance
will allow up to six units
on what is currently a
single-family parcel if the
property owner commits
to making at least one of
the additional units
affordable to households

Program 1-L County
Courthouse Site. The
County has decided to
relocate the courthouse
and this 4.4-acre site,
located on Aguajito

City actions will include:
• Rezoning the site to
promote multifamily
housing at densities
deemed affordable to
lower income households
before December 15,
2024. Rezoning actions
will involve changing the
base zone to R3,

• Identification of regulatory and process incentives and rezoning of the site at densities appropriate to
accommodate moderate, low, and very low income
housing by Q4 2025.
• Assist the County with outreach to the development
community to solicit applications;
• Facilitate approval of a development application by Q4 2027 and issue of construction permits by Q4 2028; and
• Review progress by the end of Q2 2028.

Status: Partially Complete.

Rezoning completed: The Monterey County Courthouse site, located at 1200 Aguajito Road, is identified on the 6th Cycle housing element sites inventory. However, the existing Single Family (R-1) zoning would not permit the 246 units projected for the property. A zoning map amendment rezoned the site to Medium Density Multifamily (R-3) with the Multifamily Overlay (MF3). Land Use Regulations and Development standards
contained within the Multifamily Overlay District apply to the site, ensuring orderly development and allowing a maximum density of 60 du/ac. The amendment will further facilitate housing development in these areas by allowing ministerial permitting of residential development when at least 20 percent of the proposed units are affordable to lower-income households in accordance with Government Code section 65583.2(h) and (i).

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

the City will create a
zoning provision to allow
developments by-right
pursuant to Government

or more of the units are
affordable to lower
income households.

Implementation deadline Q4: December 15, 2024

Pursuant to Government Code section 65583.2(h) and (i), any non-vacant commercial sites identified on two prior housing element inventories that are also identified to accommodate lower income RHNA units on the 6th Cycle Housing Element shall be allowed ministerial permitting when 20 percent or more of the units are affordable to lower-income households.

The Regional Housing Needs Assessment Overlay District
identifies these sites in addition to the requirements of Government Code section 65583.2(h) and (i) to ensure
compliance with State law. Qualifying projects will continue to be required to comply with existing zoning regulations and objective design standards.

RHNA Overlay District Sites include: 600 Munras Ave, 445 Tyler St, 755 Lighthouse Ave, 600 Cannery Row, 724 Abrego St, 300 Fremont St, and 398 Fremont St.

58 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
building of the same size
would be permitted byright. 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.

Program 2-C ARC
Review. The Monterey
City Code establishes a
two-step architectural
review process:

Preliminary Architectural
Review and Final
Architectural Review.

Both levels of review
consider consistency with
the General Plan, and
any applicable Area or
Neighborhood Plan,
design guidelines, or

Section 38-191 specifies
findings that the ARC or
City Manager must make

Through this Program,
the City will revise
Section 38-191 of the
City Code to remove
findings based on
subjective determinations
(such as whether design
features are “appropriate
for the project site, the
immediate area, and the
City; ”, whether the
proposed project will not
“unreasonably impair the
views, privacy, or living
environment currently
enjoyed by other
properties;” and that
whether the proposed
project is “substantially
consistent” with the
General Plan and other
plans, guidelines, and
such documents
applicable to the project)
and replace them with
findings based on
objective determinations.

Additionally, Section 38-
188 will be updated to
clarify that architectural
review does not apply to
projects that qualify for
streamlined review.

Implementation of this
program will help ensure
that architectural review
focuses 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.

60 Accountability Act (Gov
Code Sec.65589.5 (j)(1)
requires objective
development standards
as a basis for denying or
conditioning approval of
all multifamily and
residential mixed-use
projects. Additionally, in
Monterey, multifamily and
mixed use projects that
make at least 10 percent
of their proposed units
affordable to low income
households are subject to
streamlined review and
approval, based on the
2023 Statewide SB35
determination. SB35
stipulates that qualifying
projects are eligible for a
streamlined approval
process subject to
consistency with
objective zoning,
subdivision, or design
review standards. Given
that the City's
inclusionary zoning
program requires projects
of six units or more to
make 20 percent of their
units affordable to low
and moderate income
households, this means
that most projects
pursuant to this Housing
Element will qualify for
SB35 streamlining.

However, the City's three
adopted specific plans
and 14 adopted area and
neighborhood plans
include policies,
standards and guidelines
that use imprecise terms

in Appendix C. Therefore,
through this program the
City will adopt objective
design and development
standards (ODDS)
applicable to all
multifamily and
residential mixed use
projects, including those
that qualify for SB35
streamlining. The City
has already adopted
ODDS for the Downtown

Plan Areas, and through
Programs 1- B and 1-C in
the Housing Action Plan
will adopt ODDS for the
MFR Overlay and the
North Fremont Specific
Plan Area by December

focus of this program is
on ODDS for multifamily
and mixed use projects in
other areas of the city.

Standards for commercial
zoning districts where the
inventory envisions more
new housing will be
prioritized and the City
will establish a schedule
for review and revision of
all remaining adopted
area and neighborhood
plans to ensure that they
contain objective
standard and comply with
other applicable State
requirements. In addition
to establishing objective
policies and standards,
pursuant to State law,
Specific Plans must be

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 “high quality"
public transit. The City
will revise parking
requirements to remove
minimum requirements
for all projects located
within one half mile of a
major transit stop or highquality transit corridor
with fixed route bus
service with service
intervals no longer than
15 minutes during peak
commute hours and
reduce the minimum
parking requirements for
multi-units buildings to an
average maximum of 1.5
spaces per bedroom and
1 space for studio unit for
projects located within
one half mile of other
major public transit
routes. In addition, the
City should reduce the
base parking
requirements for mixeduse 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
Implementation deadline Q1 2024, including the following implementation actions:
• As part of an omnibus Code clean up effort, adopt

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 "housingfirst, low-barrier,
temporary, servicesenriched shelter focused
on helping homeless
individuals and families to
quickly obtain permanent
housing." This program
also commits the City to
establishing a definition
of "emergency shelters,"
to comply with
Government Code
section 65583(a)(4), and
to distinguish emergency
shelters, which are
temporary housing, from
residential care facilities.

As required by State law,
the revised Code must
ensure that zones where
shelters are located near
amenities and services
that serve homeless
individuals.

Program 4-G Recognize

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

Mobile homes (also
referred to as
manufactured homes)
installed on a permanent
foundation approved by
the City and certified
under the National Mobile
Home Construction and

Program 1-B Multi-Family
Residential Overlay
Amendments
The City has established a Multifamily
Residential (MFR) Overlay District, set
forth in City Code section 38-99.4 et
seq., applicable to properties along the
south side of 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 and the
Pacific/Munras/Cass area have attracted
significant developer interest in recent
times and the City will amend the MFR
overlay and related standards to further
facilitate housing development in these
areas, which have a total combined area
of 90 acres.

Q3 2024
Status: Completed.

The City has an established Multifamily Residential Overlay District (MFR) Overlay District, set forth in City Code section 38-99.4 et seq. The existing overlay applies to properties along the south side of Garden Road and permits the conversion of existing commercial and office buildings to housing and the development of new housing at densities up to 30 du/ac.

The amendment expands the existing MFR overlay to include portions of the City located in the Pacific/Munras/Cass area as well as the County Courthouse site located at 1200 Aguajito Road and incorporates an increased density of 60 dwelling units per acre (du/ac) in all overlay areas. The amendment further facilitates housing development in these areas by allowing ministerial permitting of residential development when at least 20 percent of the proposed units are affordable to lower-income households in accordance with Government Code section 65583.2(h) and (i). In addition to defining three unique geographical overlay zones, the amendment establishes four distinct subsections of land use and development standards addressing setbacks, height, tree removals, etc. [Ordinance No. 3688 C.S. 1st reading adopted December 3, 2024; 2nd reading adopted December 17, 2024; Effective January 16, 2025
(https://haveyoursaymonterey.org/monterey2031-
implementation/news_feed/phase-1-of-housing-implementation)] Policy 1-C. Focused
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. The specific plans
control zoning for their respective areas.

As described in Chapter 3, the North
Fremont Specific Plan needs to be
amended to accommodate a lower
income RHNA shortfall and there are
additional opportunities to facilitate and
incentivize development in the
Downtown and Lighthouse specific plan
areas.

Q4 2024
Status: Completed.

Focused specific plan amendments to the North Fremont, Downtown, and Lighthouse Specific Plans have been adopted to facilitate development at the projected densities planned for in the adopted housing element. The amendments include:

North Fremont Specific Plan
o Increased residential density from 30 du/ac to 60 du/ac. o Increased maximum allowed building height from 35 feet to 45 feet in areas. o Reduced minimum parking requirement from 1.5 spaces per unit to 1 space per unit.
o Allow ministerial permitting of residential development when at least 20 percent of the proposed units are affordable to lower-income households in accordance with Government Code section 65583.2(h) and (i).

Lighthouse Specific Plan
o Amend use table to allow 100 percent residential developments including ground floor residential uses.
o Allow parking requirements for residential projects to be met with a municipal shared parking agreement when projects proposing 30 du/acre are located within 500 feet of a City-owned parking lot or structure.

Program Implementation Status pursuant to GC Section 65583 Appendix B
Council Regular Meeting, 3/18/2025, Item No. 9., Item Page 168, Packet Page 226 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.
erwise amended by subsequent action
of the City Council.

Implementation deadline
Q2 2026, including the
following implementation
actions:
•Initiate preparation of
draft ordinance in Q2 2025;
•Bring the draft ordinance
to City Council for
adoption in Q2 2026.

Status: Implementation incomplete.

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,
school district 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 and by interested private
Implementation deadline
by Q2 2031, including the
following implemenation
actions:
•Outreach to MPUSD and
private school operators to
be completed by end of Q2
2024.
•Draft ordinance to City
Council for adoption to be
completed in Q1 2025.
•Quarterly meetings with
MPUSD to occur quarterly.
•By mid-2028, evaluate
progress toward
construction target.

Status: Implemenation incomplete.

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, the City will facilitate
production of affordable housing
projects on properties owned by
religious institutions.

Implementation deadline
Q2 2031, including the
following implementation
actions:
•Rezoning within 3 years
or 1 year of statutory
deadline;
•Institute program of
technical
assistance/support in April
of year following rezoning;
and
•Ongoing with regular
reporting annually by April
of each year thereafter via
Annual Progress Report to
HCD.

Status - In Progress: The City’s Housing Manager has been in contact with other cities, religious institutions, and members of Community Opportunity to Purchase Acts (COPA) regarding SB4 (Affordable Housing on Faith Lands Act).

Appendix B
Council Regular Meeting, 3/18/2025, Item No. 9., Item Page 169, Packet Page 227 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.

Implementation deadline
Q2 2028, including the
following implementation
actions:
•Release RFP for sites in
Q4 2025;
•Identifying parter(s) and
entering into an Exclusive
Negotiating Agreement by
end of Q2 2025;
•Negotiating Development
and Disposition
Agreement including
incentives such as ground
lease and soft costs by
end of Q4 2025 so long as
there is sufficient
guarantee of water supply
for this site;
•Holding regular meetings
with developer in order to
expedite processing of
development application
and design work with the
goal of project approval by
end of Q2 2027;
•Completion of
construction by end of Q2
is anticipate in 2028.
•Actions and timing as
noted above with the goal
of completing construction
Status- In Progress: The City’s planning department has been working on this project with a developer, alternatives and designs are in-progress.

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. The
Implementation deadline
Q1 2030, including the
following implementation
actions:
•Identify funding sources
and release RFP by end of
2024;
•Complete site remediation
work, special status
species surveys, and
biological study by the
end of Q3 2026;
•Bring draft specific plan
to City Council for
adoption in Q2 2028;
•target issuance of
building permits for an
initial project phase by end
of Q1 2030;
•by end of Q3 2029 if
permitting is not on track,
take action (such as
identifying new sites or

Council Regular Meeting, 3/18/2025, Item No. 9., Item Page 170, Packet Page 228 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, access and
infrastructure improvements, and
neighborhood services and amenities 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, MPUSD,
and Monterey County to jointly pursue

Program 1-J SB 9 Housing
Ordinance
SB 9 allows division of lots in singlefamily 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. Further, to
promote housing opportunities for very
low-income families with children in
single-family neighborhoods in
Monterey, the ordinance will allow up to
six units on what is currently a singlefamily parcel if the property owner commits to making at least one of the
additional units affordable to
households earning less than 50 percent
of the Monterey County AMI through a
longterm affordability agreement.
