United Plastic Fabricating, Inc. (hereinafter called “UPF”) warrants each POLY-TANK®, Booster/Foam Tank POLYSIDE® Wetside Tank, Integrator Tank/Body, ELLIPSE™ Elliptical Tank, Ellip-T-Tank Tank and DEFENDER™ Skid Tank to be free from defects in material and workmanship for the service life of the original vehicle (vehicle must be actively used in an emergency response for fire suppression). All UPF Tanks must be installed and operated in accordance with the UPF Installation and Operating Guidelines. Failure to do so can void the warranty.
Every UPF Tank is inspected and tested before leaving our facility. Should your UPF Tank require service, please notify UPF via email, fax, in writing or by calling UPF at 1-978-975-4520. Please provide the serial number, a description of the service request, the location along with the phone number and name of the contact person. Our goal is to have scheduled work completed within a reasonable time period.
Under a valid warranty claim, UPF will cover the cost to repair the UPF Tank including the customary and reasonable costs to make the tank accessible such as the removal and reinstallation of the tank if authorized in advance (pre-approved) by UPF. The warranty will not cover tanks that have been improperly installed, operated, misused, abused, or modified from its intended or designed use. Serial number must not have been altered, defaced or removed. Tanks that are not stored or installed properly which results in the tank suffering UV damage will not be covered by this agreement.
Should UPF determine that the service claim is valid under this warranty for a tank located outside of the United States and Canada, UPF will assume the costs for labor and material for the warranty repair as described above plus all travel costs to the U.S. port of embarkation. Costs for airline travel outside of the U.S. and Canada will not be the responsibility of UPF.
In the event the tank shall become stationed in an area of the world that is considered to be a war zone or where unsafe conditions exist for the safe passage of United States Nationals, as reported by the United States Department of State, (http://www.state.gov), and a request to perform service or warranty repairs, UPF reserves the right to refuse to honor such requests. It is the purchaser’s responsibility to relocate the tank to an area where such repairs can be performed without undue risk to UPF employees or their designee. UPF will make every reasonable effort to support our products though alternative means.
For Ellipse™ elliptical tanks, a separate five year warranty provided by the subcontractor is applied to the sub-frames, chute linings (rubber isolation strips) and metal components. The stainless steel wrap provided by UPF shall be warranted by the subcontractor performing the wrap installation in accordance with their warranty in place at the time of the installation. UPF will not be liable for any warranty costs associated with the wrap, sub-frames, chute linings (rubber isolation strips) and metal components but will assist with all claims on behalf of its customer.
For PolySide® wetsided tanks and Integrator™ Tank/Body units, all polypropylene components related to the tank shall carry the standard UPF lifetime

Other polypropylene components, including but not limited to compartments, wheel wells, fenders and other body related components shall be warranted by UPF for a period of ten years. The warranty for the PolySide® and Integrator™ units excludes paint or hardware, which shall be covered by the manufacturer of the paint/hardware.
All UPF tanks 50 gallons or less utilized for non-fire applications and installed on specialty vehicles such as ATVs, trailers, boats, etc. are covered under a separate warranty policy available from UPF. Further, UPF Protector™ foam and water trailers are warranted under a separate warranty policy available from UPF.
This UPF warranty is transferable within the United States only with prior written approval by UPF (except an original apparatus manufacturer may assign this warranty to the first titled owner/lessee of the apparatus).
UPF will NOT reimburse any unnecessary work and/or work that has not been pre-approved. Any and all third party charges must be preauthorized and approved in writing by UPF prior to commencing the work. Any unauthorized third party repairs, alterations, actions or modifications will not be covered and can void the warranty. UPF will be the sole determining authority as to whether a service claim will be valid and covered under this warranty.
In no event will UPF be liable for an amount in excess of the purchase price of the booster/foam tank at the time of manufacture or for any loss or damage, whether direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or otherwise arising out of failure of its product. Loss of contents (water, foam, etc.) shall not be the responsibility of UPF. Further, UPF is not responsible for costs associated with service repairs to chassis, sub-frames, bodies, valves, dumps, hoses, pressure vacuum vents, and other components (i.e. liquid level transducers, etc.). Further, UPF will not cover the cost for travel of the vehicle to and from a repair facility.
This warranty contains the entire warranty. It is the sole warranty and price agreements or representation, whether oral or written, are either merged herein or expressly cancelled. UPF neither assumes, nor authorizes any person supposing to act on its behalf to change, nor assume for it, any warranty or liability concerning its product.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state. Some states do not allow exclusion or limitation or incidental or consequential damage, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. Since some states do not allow limitations on the length of an implied warranty, the above limitation may not apply to you.

NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR A
WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. ADDITIONALLY, THIS WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER OBLIGATION OR LIABILITIES ON THE PART OF UPF.

RE: UPF Tank Warranty Policy – Truck in Accident
Service Topic #292
To keep the UPF tank warranty valid on trucks that have been involved in a vehicular accident, it is UPF’s policy that the customer must remove the tank from the truck and send it back to one of UPF’s facilities for inspection. In the event that this does not take place, the warranty will be considered null and void.
The customer must remove and send the tank back to UPF for inspection in order to maintain the original warranty coverage, at which time it will be:
- Filled with water
- Visually inspected
- Ultraviolet spark tested on articulating test stand in the dark - Recommendation for repairs if necessary provided by UPF - Fully evaluated and repaired by UPF
If your customer chooses to leave the tank on the truck and wants a technician to inspect and/or repair the tank in the field, then the warranty is no longer in effect.
This direction is upheld by UPF because the technician cannot inspect the entire tank when it is still installed on the truck.
Note: This memo is intended to relay the information Pierce has received on UPF’s tank warranty for trucks that are in a vehicular accident. In the event of an actual claim, we direct you to consult with UPF’s service Manager Maura Watts (800-638-8265 x253)

Product claimed to be defective must be shipped by Purchaser freight prepaid, and Purchaser shall bear all risk of loss or damage during shipment.
Repaired and replacement Product and parts will be shipped to Purchaser freight collect, unless a determination is made prior to shipment that the warranty claim is valid, in which case Product and parts will be shipped to Purchaser freight prepaid from Supplier. Repaired or replacement Product will be shipped back to purchaser via UPS ground or IDEX approved standard freight. If Purchaser requires expedited UPS shipment, Purchaser will cover the difference between ground and service selected costs.
Purchaser shall bear all risk of loss or damage for all freight collect shipments.

• Product was shipped by Purchaser freight prepaid to Supplier. Purchaser to provide a copy of paid freight bill upon Hale’s request.
• Repaired or replacement Product was shipped to Purchaser freight collect. If Purchaser required expedited shipment, the difference between ground and expedited service costs will be deducted from total credit.
If requested to do so by Purchaser, Seller may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion, supply a replacement Product or part to Purchaser prior to making a final determination as to whether Warranty Coverage is available. If Seller ultimately determines that no Warranty Coverage is available for the Product claimed to be defective, whether the determination is based on the Warranty being voided, the Product failure being due to a cause not covered by the Warranty, the failure to make a timely and proper Warranty claim, or otherwise, Purchaser or its customer will be required to purchase the replacement Product or part that has been supplied to it by Seller at the price at which Purchaser is then entitled to purchase such Product or part under the Supply Agreement.
If Seller ultimately determines that no Warranty Coverage is available for a Product claimed to be defective, whether the determination is based on the Warranty being voided, the Product failure being due to a cause not covered by the Warranty, the failure to make a timely and proper Warranty claim, or otherwise, Purchaser shall have the option of either (i) having the Product returned to it freight collect, without repair or replacement, or (ii) if Seller determines that the Product is repairable, have the Product repaired by Seller or another party designated by it on a time and materials basis at Seller’s then current standard charges for non-warranty repairs and then returned to Purchaser freight collect.

Agenda No. 11 C
CITY OF PACIFIC GROVE
300 Forest Avenue, Pacific Grove, California 93950
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Jenny McAdams, Councilmember
MEETING DATE: October 19, 2022
SUBJECT: Empty Home Tax This item was continued from the Council's October 5, 2022 meeting.
CEQA: Does not constitute a “Project” per California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15378
RECOMMENDATION
Convene a conceptual discussion on an “Empty Homes Tax” in the City of Pacific Grove and direct staff to gather information and return to council regarding this concept.
DISCUSSION
Several cities where 2nd, 3rd, and 4th homes sit empty in their neighborhoods are discussing the concept of bringing an “Empty Home Tax” to their voters. Locally, the City of Santa Cruz has Measure N on their November ballot. The definition of an empty home is set by each City, which are the underutilized and empty homes that sit in neighborhoods within the City’s boundary.
Implemented “Empty Home Tax” programs have shown to:
1. Encourage owners to rent out their homes long term.
2. Promote home sales to buyers who want to live full time in the City.
3. Provide annual revenues for critical infrastructure improvements and city services.
Provide annual revenues to support affordable housing, down payment assistance, renter assistance, and other housing programs.
4. Per the 2020 census, the City of Pacific Grove has 1,349 vacant homes. Homes that sit empty contribute to a loss in sales tax revenues as well as diminish the vibrancy and strength of communities and neighborhoods.

CITY OF PACIFIC GROVE
300 Forest Avenue, Pacific Grove, California 93950
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Joseph Sidor, Contract Planner
MEETING DATE: October 19, 2022
SUBJECT: Appeal of Architectural Permit and Tree Permit with Development (AP/TPD) No. 22-0108, 1166 Presidio Boulevard, Pacific Grove (APN 007-591-013) CEQA: Categorical Exemption, CEQA Guidelines Section 15302, Class 2, Replacement or Reconstruction of Existing Structures and Facilities
RECOMMENDATION
Deny the appeal, find the project categorically exempt per CEQA Guidelines Section 15302, and approve the Architectural Permit and Tree Permit with Development (AP-TPD 22-0108) subject to the findings and conditions of approval.
DISCUSSION
Project Description
The proposed project includes the demolition of an existing 1,120 square foot one-story single-family residence and construction of a 1,986 square foot three-story single-family residence with a 246 square foot detached garage, and removal of one 9-inch Coast Live oak. The project will also include approximately 224 square feet of deck area and demolition of a shed.
Site Description
The 4,800 square foot parcel is currently developed with an 1,120 square foot one-story single-family dwelling and detached shed. The residence also includes a non-habitable lower level that does not have interior circulation with the upper level residence. The property is not located within the City's Area of Special Biological Significance, not within the Coastal Zone, not listed on the City’s Historic Resources Inventory (HRI), nor located within an archaeologically sensitive area. On May 25, 2022, the Historic Resources Committee reviewed an Initial Historic Screening (IHS 22-0081) and determined the property is ineligible for the City’s HRI.
Surrounding Land Uses
The parcel is located in an area consisting of medium- to large-sized one- to three-story residences in the Del Monte Park residential neighborhood.
Background and Summary of Appeal Contentions
The Architectural Review Board (ARB) considered the project at an ARB hearing on August 9, 2022, and voted 5 - 0 (5 yes and 0 noes) to approve the project (ARB permit attached). On August 12, 2022, the appellant submitted a timely appeal of the ARB's decision to approve the project. The appellant contended that the proposed upper level would block their ocean view (see discussion below under PG CC 10/19/22
385 of 584
Guideline #9). The appellant made several other contentions that were either not relevant to the City's review or not supported by the evidence.
The Planning Commission (PC) considered the project at the September 8, 2022, public hearing, and voted unanimously (7 yes and 0 noes) to approve the project (PC permit attached) and directed the applicant to submit a corrected application form (attached) and to remove the proposed upper deck. In response to the PC's direction, the applicant submitted a corrected application form (attached) and a revised plan set (attached) that removes the upper deck from the proposed project.
On September 19, 2022, the appellant submitted a timely appeal (attached) of the Planning Commission’s decision to approve the project. As summarized, the appellant contended that the project, as approved, would result in additional tree removal and that there are errors in the site plan. As noted above, the applicant has submitted a revised plan set which includes changes to the site plan to more clearly show the proposed separation between the structures. Although the tree removal necessary to implement the project was not in question, the applicant also submitted a revised arborist report to correct several minor errors in the previous reports (revised report attached; see Tree Permit with Development section below for more information). Also, a condition has been recommended to require the installation and maintenance of tree protection measures during construction.
The appellant also requested an explanation of the CEQA exemption and that members of the City Council visit the site and the appellant's property. The use of the Class 2 CEQA exemption is explained below in the CEQA section. Among CEQA practitioners (e.g., planning staff), use of the Class 2 exemption for this type of simple project (i.e., demolition and rebuild of a single-family residence) is very common, well within the parameters of the exemption, and well within the legislative intent of California Public Resources Code, Division 13, §21000, et seq., and the associated guidelines as published in the California Code of Regulations, Title 14, §15000, et seq. (i.e., CEQA Guidelines).
Regarding a site visit, multiple CDD staff have conducted multiple visits to the site, including the appellant's property, to evaluate the potential impacts of the proposed project.
Applicable General Plan Policies
The neighborhood is designated Medium Density Residential with an allowed density of up to
9.7 dwelling units per acre. The Pacific Grove General Plan provides a framework for future growth and development within the City. The Land Use Element includes goals and polices that call for the orderly, well-planned, and balanced development, consistent with the historic nature of Pacific Grove, the capacity of the City’s infrastructure, and ability to assimilate new growth. This proposed residential project is consistent with applicable General Plan policies, including the following:
Chapter 2, Land Use
Policy 2: Ensure that new development is compatible with adjacent existing development.
Policy 4: Continue to preserve Pacific Grove’s character and regulate development.
Chapter 3, Housing
Policy 8: Strive to provide the City’s share of the region’s housing needs.
The policies above are implemented through the R-1 zoning district which allows single-family development in areas with adequate public services.
Applicable Zoning Code Regulations
As proposed, the project complies with the zoning regulations set forth in Pacific Grove Municipal Code (PGMC) Chapter 23.16 (R-1). This includes, but is not limited to, height limit, setbacks, gross floor area and allowable site and building coverage. The project is also in compliance with the PG CC 10/19/22
386 of 584
parking standards for single-family residential development in PGMC Section 23.16.070 which requires two parking spaces (one covered and one uncovered). As proposed, the new residence and garage would conform to all required development standards for the zoning district.
The applicant provided a Project Data Sheet (attached) indicating the development standards of the zoning district, existing conditions, and proposed conditions. The Architectural Permit (AP) is required per Section 23.70.060(c)(1) of the PGMC, and the required findings for the AP are located in the Draft Resolution (attached).
Tree Permit with Development (TPD)
Per PGMC 12.30.010, a Tree Resource Assessment (Ono, Certified Arborist; revised September 23, 2022) prepared for the project concluded that removal of one protected tree would occur (a 9-inch Coast Live oak). Also, two non-protected trees (5-inch non-native Pittosporums) would be removed for the proposed development. The arborist recommended no replanting because the site is heavily vegetated and has a high number of existing oaks. After the PC hearing, the applicant submitted a revised arborist report to correct several minor errors in the previous reports (revised report attached); however, the tree removal necessary to implement the project was not in question. Also, a condition has been recommended to require the installation and maintenance of tree protection measures during construction.
Architecture and Design Consideration
As proposed, the design would be compatible with the neighborhood comprised of mediumto large-sized one- to three-story residences of varying architectural styles, alignments, and scales.
Exterior color and material finishes for the project include gray vertical siding, green trim and accents, bronze aluminum windows and doors, and black asphalt shingle roof that would blend with the surrounding natural street scapes. Due to the topography of the site and proposed design, the façade also avoids large blank areas facing the street. As designed, the project would not result in any adverse visual impacts.
Architecture Review Guidelines:
The architectural style, materials and site design are in substantial conformance with the City’s Architectural Review Guidelines. Specifically, Guidelines Nos. 1, 2, 7, 9, and 24 relating to the mass and height of new structures, rooflines, 2nd floor balcony location and design, preservation of neighbor’s views, and structural scale compared to the neighborhood were used in analyzing the proposed project. As designed, the project complies with the following Architectural Review Guidelines:
Guideline #1: The mass and height of a new building should blend well with neighboring structures and not overwhelm them with disproportionate size of a design that is out of character.
As noted above, the surrounding neighborhood consists of similarly-sized residences of varying architectural styles, alignments, and scales. As proposed, the mass and height of the new residence would not overwhelm adjacent residences nor be out of character.
Guideline #2: Rooflines of new structures should be compatible with the pitch and character of roofs seen traditionally in the neighborhood.
As proposed, the pitch and character of the roofline of the new residence would be compatible with other rooflines along the street and in the neighborhood.
Guideline #7: Second floor balconies and decks should be designed and located to minimize the loss of privacy for neighboring properties.
The proposed second-story deck is located in the rear of the structure to minimize loss of privacy for PG CC 10/19/22
387 of 584
the neighboring properties.
Guideline #9: Attempt to preserve some portion of neighbor's views by carefully positioning or limiting the width, depth, or height of proposed building elements.
Due to the topography of the site and surrounding vicinity, as well as existing vegetation and trees, the proposed project would not adversely impact neighbor's views. Although the appellant contends that the project would result in the loss of their ocean view, staff's site visits and review determined the proposed project would result in the appellant retaining the majority of the ocean view (see attached ocean viewshed figure). Staff's review of the proposed design included multiple site visits to evaluate the ocean view. Additionally, the attached ocean viewshed figure submitted by the applicant's architect further supports staff's determination. Per staff’s review, the project conforms to Architectural Review Guideline No. 9 in that a majority portion of the neighbor’s ocean view is preserved.
Guideline #24: A new structure should appear similar in scale to those seen as traditional in the neighborhood.
The proposed residence would be similar in scale to those in the surrounding neighborhood which has numerous two-story dwellings as well as three-story residences. Also, the proposed structure would be in scale with its site and would not exceed the maximum allowed building or site coverage.
Also, as designed, the project does not create large unbroken surfaces parallel to the street, and creates a visually interesting street façade. Consistent with Guideline Nos. 38 and 40, the project proposes to use exterior colors and materials compatible with the street scape.
Lighting
Standard residential exterior lighting shall comply with Guideline Nos. 10-12, and is required as a condition of approval.
Water
Any additional water credits required to complete the project will need to be purchased from the City of Pacific Grove.
Stormwater Treatment Measure
Less than 2,500 sq ft of impervious surface will be replaced; therefore, the project does not trigger stormwater requirements.
CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT (CEQA)
In reviewing this action, the City has followed the CEQA statute adopted by the State of California as published in the California Public Resources Code, Division 13, §21000, et seq., and the associated guidelines as published in the California Code of Regulations, Title 14, §15000, et seq. (i.e., CEQA Guidelines). The proposed project is found to be categorically exempt under CEQA Guidelines Section 15302, Class 2, allowing replacement or reconstruction of existing facilities and structures where the new structure(s) will be located on the same site as the structure(s) replaced and will have substantially the same purpose and capacity as the structure(s) replaced.
The proposed project involves the demolition of a single-family dwelling and accessory structure on the parcel and construction of a single-family dwelling and accessory structure on a residentially-zoned parcel within a developed neighborhood (i.e., replacement of an existing structure with the same purpose and on the same site). As proposed, the main dwelling unit and accessory structure would be located on the same approximate footprint as the current structure and improvements. Therefore, the project is consistent with the parameters of the Class 2 categorical exemption. Also, the proposed project is consistent with the General Plan and the neighborhood within which the project is located is PG CC 10/19/22
388 of 584
not environmentally sensitive.
No adverse environmental effects were identified during staff review of the development application, nor during multiple site inspections. The exceptions to exemptions in Section 15300.2 of the CEQA Guidelines pertaining to location, cumulative impacts, significant effects, scenic highways, hazardous waste sites, and historical resources do not apply to this project. There is no substantial evidence of an unusual circumstance because there is no feature or condition of the project that distinguishes the project from the exempt class.

RESOLUTION NO. 22-
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PACIFIC GROVE APPROVING FILE NUMBER AP/TPD 22-0108 FOR THE DEMOLITION OF AN EXISTING SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCE AND CONSTRUCTION OF A SINGLEFAMILY RESIDENCE AND DETACHED GARAGE AND REMOVAL OF ONE 9-INCH COAST LIVE OAK AT 1166 PRESIDIO BOULEVARD
FACTS
1. The applicant proposes to demolish an existing 1,120 square foot one-story single-family residence and detached shed, and construct a 1,986 square foot three-story single-family residence with a 246 square foot detached garage and remove one 9-inch Coast Live oak.
2. The subject site is located at 1166 Presidio Boulevard, Pacific Grove, APN 007-591-013.
3. The subject site is approximately 4,800 square feet in size, and currently developed with an 1,120 square foot one-story single-family residence and detached shed.
4. The subject site has a land use designation of Medium Density Residential (9.7 du/ac) on the adopted City of Pacific Grove Land Use Plan Map.
5. The project site is located in the R-1 Single Family Residential zoning district.
6. The subject property is not located within the City’s Area of Special Biological Significance (ASBS), the Coastal Zone, nor within an archaeologically sensitive area.
7. The subject site is not listed on the City’s Historic Resources Inventory (HRI). Also, on May 25, 2022, the City of Pacific Grove Historic Resources Committee (HRC) reviewed an Initial Historic Screening (IHS 22-0081) and determined the property ineligible for the City’s HRI. This determination will remain in effect for 10 years from the date of approval.
8. As designed, the project would conform to all required development standards for the zoning district.
9. Per PGMC § 12.30.010, a revised Tree Resource Assessment (Ono, Certified Arborist; September 23, 2022) prepared for the project concluded that removal of one protected tree would occur (a 9-inch Coast Live oak). Also, two non-protected trees (5-inch nonnative Pittosporums) would be removed for the proposed development. The arborist recommended no replanting because the site is heavily vegetated and has a high number of existing oaks.
10. The City of Pacific Grove Architectural Review Board (ARB) reviewed the proposed project at a noticed public hearing on August 9, 2022. The ARB voted unanimously (5 – 0) to approve AP-TPD 22-0108.
11. On August 12, 2022, the appellant submitted a timely appeal of the ARB’s decision to approve AP-TPD 22-0108.
12. Pursuant to the appeal, the City of Pacific Grove Planning Commission (PC) reviewed the proposed project at a noticed public hearing on September 8, 2022. The PC voted unanimously (7 – 0) to approve AP-TPD 22-0108.
PG CC 10/19/22
390 of 584
13. On September 19, 2022, the appellant submitted a timely appeal of the PC’s decision to approve AP-TPD 22-0108.
14. The project has been determined to be Categorically Exempt per CEQA Guidelines Section 15302, Class 2, Replacement or Reconstruction, allowing replacement or reconstruction of existing facilities and structures where the new structure(s) will be located on the same site as the structure(s) replaced and will have substantially the same purpose and capacity as the structure(s) replaced. The proposed project involves the demolition of a single-family dwelling and accessory structure on the parcel and construction of a single-family dwelling and accessory structure on a residentially-zoned parcel within a developed residential neighborhood (i.e., replacement of an existing structure on the same site with the same purpose and capacity). In reviewing this action, the City has followed the CEQA statute adopted by the State of California as published in the California Public Resources Code, Division 13, §21000, et seq., and the associated guidelines as published in the California Code of Regulations, Title 14, §15000, et seq. (i.e., CEQA Guidelines). As proposed, the main dwelling unit and accessory structure would be located on the same approximate footprint as the current structure and improvements. Therefore, the project is consistent with the parameters of the Class 2 categorical exemption. Also, the proposed project is consistent with the General Plan and the neighborhood within which the project is located is not environmentally sensitive. No adverse environmental effects were identified during staff review of the development application, nor during multiple site inspections. The exceptions to exemptions in Section 15300.2 of the CEQA Guidelines pertaining to location, cumulative impacts, significant effects, scenic highways, hazardous waste sites, and historical resources do not apply to this project. There is no substantial evidence of an unusual circumstance because there is no feature or condition of the project that distinguishes the project from the exempt class.
Additionally, there is no substantial evidence that would support a fair argument that the project has a reasonable possibility of having a significant effect on the environment or that it would result in a cumulative significant impact.
FINDINGS
For an Architectural Permit per PGMC Section 23.70.060(f)
1. The architecture and general appearance of the completed project are compatible with the neighborhood.
The proposed project involves the construction of a 1,986 square foot three-story singlefamily residence with a 246 square foot detached garage, and removal of one 9-inch Coast Live oak. The project will also include approximately 224 square feet of deck area facing the rear property line. As designed, the project will be compatible with the neighborhood of medium- to large-sized one- to three-story residences. The surrounding streetscapes are comprised of residences with varying architectural styles, alignments, and scales. The proposed residence will use exterior colors and materials that will blend with the surrounding natural streetscape (i.e., gray vertical siding, green trim and accents, bronze aluminum windows and doors, and black asphalt shingle roof). Due to the topography of the site and proposed design, the façade also avoids large blank areas facing the street.
PG CC 10/19/22
391 of 584
2. The completed project will neither be detrimental to the orderly and harmonious development of the city nor impair the desirability of investment or occupation in the neighborhood.
There is no indication that the proposed re-development of the property will negatively affect the orderly and harmonious development of the city or impair the desirability of investment in the neighborhood. The proposed residence and garage will increase the value of the property and contribute to the desirability of investment in the Del Monte Park neighborhood.
3. The Council has been guided by and referenced applicable provisions of the architectural review guidelines in making its determinations on single-family residences.
The architectural style, materials and site design are in substantial conformance with the City’s Architectural Review Guidelines. Specifically, Guidelines Nos. 1, 2, 7, 9, and 24 relating to the mass and height of new structures, roof lines, 2nd floor balcony location and design, preservation of neighbor’s views, and structural scale compared to the neighborhood were used in analyzing the proposed project to ensure compliance.
In approving the permit, the following conditions of approval are imposed and deemed reasonable and necessary to ensure that the approval will comply with the findings cited above.
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
1. Permit Expiration. This permit shall expire and be null and void if a building permit has not been applied for within two (2) years from and after the date of approval.
Application for extension of this approval must be made prior to the expiration date.
2. Conformance to Plans. Development and uses of the site shall conform to the approved plans prepared for the “Meyers Residence” project dated September 26, 2022, on file with the Community Development Department and to the Building Code, with the exception of any subsequently approved changes.
3. Construction Compliance. All construction shall occur in general compliance with the proposal as set forth in the application, subject to any special conditions of approval herein. Any deviation from approvals must be reviewed and approved by staff, and may require subsequent Architectural Review Board, Planning Commission, and/or City Council approval.
4. Terms and Conditions. These terms and conditions shall run with the land and bind to all future owners and possessors of the subject property, unless amended. Amendments to this permit may be achieved only if an application is made and approved, pursuant to the Zoning Code.
5. Public Works, Fire and Building. Review and approval by the Public Works and Fire Department, and Building Division, are required prior to issuance of a building permit.
Any work taking place in the public right-of-way shall require an encroachment permit prior to issuance of the building permit.

PG CC 10/19/22
392 of 584
7. Exterior Lighting. All exterior lighting must conform to Architectural Review Guidelines Nos. 10 – 12.
8. Archaeology and Inadvertent Discovery. When human remains or other cultural artifacts are exposed, the Health and Safety Code § 7050.5 requires that no further excavation or disturbance occurs in the area and that the county coroner is called so that the coroner can verify that the remains are not subject to medical jurisprudence. Within 24 hours of notification, the coroner calls the Native American Heritage Commission if the remains are known or thought to be Native American. The Native American Heritage Commission selects the Most Likely Descendant (MLD) from a rotating list of MLDs.
The MLD has 24 hours to respond. All work will halt with a 50-yard radius until an osteologist can examine the remains, and a treatment plan for any said remains has been provided according to the MLD.
9. Cultural and/or Archaeological Artifacts. If such artifacts are unexpectedly discovered during ground disturbing activities, work shall be halted until the item(s) can be evaluated by a qualified professional archaeologist. If the find is determined to be significant, appropriate mitigation will be formulated, with the approval of the lead agency, and implemented prior to recommencement of work.
10. Tree Protection Standards During Construction: Pursuant to Municipal Code Chapters 12.20 and 12.30, and the Urban Forestry Standards, all trees that are otherwise protected and will be impacted as a result of development, both proposed for pruning or removal and where the development will impact the critical root zone of the tree are protected. Prior to issuance of the building permit, the Project Arborist shall review grading, drainage, utility, building and landscape plans to determine required minimum tree protection standards during construction.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PACIFIC GROVE:
1. The Council determines that each of the Facts and Findings set forth above is true and correct, and by this reference incorporates those Facts and Findings as an integral part of this Resolution.
2. The Council denies the appeal, and affirms the decisions of the Architectural Review Board and the Planning Commission to approve AP-TPD 22-0108.
3. The Council finds the project categorically exempt per CEQA Guidelines Section 15302, Class 2, Replacement or Reconstruction, and also finds that the exceptions to the exemptions in Section 15300.2 of the CEQA Guidelines do not apply.

The proposed development would include demolition of the existing residence and shed, and construction of a 1,986 square foot three-story single-family residence with a 246 square foot detached garage, and removal of one 9-inch Coast Live oak. As designed, the project would conform to all required development standards for the zoning district.
9. Per PGMC § 12.30.010, a Tree Resource Assessment (Ono, Certified Arborist; June 21, 2022) prepared for the project concluded that removal of one protected tree would occur (a 9-inch Coast Live oak). Also, two non-protected trees (5-inch non-native Pittosporums) would be removed for the proposed development. The arborist recommended no replanting because the site is heavily vegetated and has a high number of existing oaks.
10. This project has been determined to be Categorically Exempt per California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, Section 15302, Class 2, Replacement or Reconstruction, and the exceptions to the exemptions in Section 15300.2 of the CEQA Guidelines do not apply.
11. The City’s Architectural Review Board (ARB) reviewed the proposed project at a noticed public hearing on August 9, 2022. The ARB voted unanimously (5 – 0) to approve AP-TPD 22-0108.
12. On August 12, the appellant submitted a timely appeal of the ARB’s decision to approve AP-TPD 22-0108.
FINDINGS
For an Architectural Permit per PGMC Section 23.70.060(f)
1. The architecture and general appearance of the completed project are compatible with the neighborhood.
The proposed project involves the construction of a 1,986 square foot three-story single-family residence with DocuSign Envelope ID: DBBD0703-F04A-4285-851A-F66053CB54DA PG CC 10/19/22

Permit No. AP/TPD 22-0108
a 246 square foot detached garage, and removal of one 9-inch Coast Live oak. The project will also include approximately 290 square feet of deck area facing the rear property line. As designed, the project will be compatible with the neighborhood of medium- to large-sized one- to three-story residences. The surrounding streetscapes are comprised of residences with varying architectural styles, alignments, and scales. The proposed residence will use exterior colors and materials that will blend with the surrounding natural streetscape (i.e., gray vertical siding, green trim and accents, bronze aluminum windows and doors, and black asphalt shingle roof). Due to the topography of the site and proposed design, the façade also avoids large blank areas facing the street.
2. The completed project will neither be detrimental to the orderly and harmonious development of the city nor impair the desirability of investment or occupation in the neighborhood.
There is no indication that the proposed re-development of the property will negatively affect the orderly and harmonious development of the city or impair the desirability of investment in the neighborhood.
The proposed residence and garage will increase the value of the property and contribute to the desirability of investment in the Del Monte Park neighborhood.
3. The board has been guided by and referenced applicable provisions of the architectural review guidelines in making its determinations on single-family residences.
The architectural style, materials and site design are in substantial conformance with the City’s Architectural Review Guidelines. Specifically, Guidelines Nos. 1, 2, 7, 9, and 24 relating to the mass and height of new structures, roof lines, 2nd floor balcony location and design, preservation of neighbor’s views, and structural scale compared to the neighborhood were used in analyzing the proposed project to ensure compliance.

SUMMARY
Development is proposed for this site requiring excavation near oak trees on site. The project proposes to demolish an existing structure to build a single-family dwelling and detached garage. Excavation and hardscape removal will be performed near several trees, and the location of the new home will require the removal of an oak tree and several shrubs. A tree assessment/arborist report has been prepared that identifies and addresses the effects that the project will have on the existing tree resources on-site as well as a list of recommendations regarding trees on the project.
INTRODUCTION
This amended tree assessment/arborist report is prepared for Mr. Matthew Meyers, the owner of the property located at 1166 Presidio Boulevard by Frank Ono, Urban Forester and Certified Arborist (member Society of American Foresters #48004 and International Society of Arboriculture Certified Arborist #536). The City of Pacific Grove Land Use Plan and City Zoning Ordinances identify native Coast live oak as a tree species requiring protection and special consideration for management.

3 ASSIGNMENT/SCOPE OF PROJECT
To ensure the protection of the tree resources on-site, the property owner, Mr. Matthew Meyers, has requested an assessment of the trees in proximity to proposed development areas. The findings of the report are to be documented in an arborist report to work in conjunction with other conditions for approval of the building permit application. To accomplish this assignment, the following tasks have been completed; • Evaluate health, structure, and preservation suitability for each protected tree within or adjacent (15 feet or less) to the proposed development of oak trees greater than or equal to six diameter inches at 56 inches above grade or non-native trees greater than 12” diameter inches 56 inches above grade.
• Review proposed building site plans as provided by Hare Construction. • Make recommendations for alternative methods and preconstruction treatments to facilitate tree retention.
• Create preservation specifications, as it relates to a Tree Location/Preservation Map.
• Determine the number of trees affected by construction as defined by the City of Pacific Grove Zoning Ordinance; as well as mitigation requirements for those to be affected.
• Document findings in the form of a report as required by the City of Pacific Grove Planning Department.
LIMITATIONS
This assignment is limited to the review of plans submitted to me on May 31, 2022, by Hare Construction to assess the effects of potential construction on trees within or adjacent to construction activities. The assessment has been made of these plans specifically and no other plans were reviewed. Only minor grading and erosion details are discussed in this report as it relates to tree health. It is not the intent of this report to be a monetary valuation of the trees or provide a risk assessment for any tree on this parcel, as any tree can fail at any time. No clinical diagnosis was performed on any pest or pathogen that may or may not be present. In addition to an inspection of the property, F.O. Consulting relied on information provided in the preparation of this report (such as surveys, property boundaries, and property ownership) and must reasonably rely on the accuracy of the information provided. F.O. Consulting shall not be responsible for another's means, methods, techniques, schedules, sequence, or' procedures, or for contractor safety or any other related programs; or for another's failure to complete the work following the plans and specifications.

4 PURPOSE AND GOAL
This tree resource assessment/arborist report is prepared for this parcel due to proposed construction activities located at 1166 Presidio Boulevard, Pacific Grove CA. This assessment is to determine what trees will be affected by the proposed project. Oak trees are considered protected trees as defined by the Greater Monterey Peninsula Land Use Plan and City of Pacific Grove Zoning Ordinances.
The goal of this report is to protect and maintain the Pacific Grove Urban forested resources through the adherence to development standards, which allow the protection, and maintenance of its forest resources. Furthermore, it is the intended goal of this report to aid in planning to offset any potential effects of the proposed development on the property while encouraging forest stability and sustainability, perpetuating the urban forested character of the property and the immediate vicinity.
SITE DESCRIPTION
1) Assessor’s Parcel Number: 007-591-013-000.
2) Location: 1166 Presidio Boulevard, Pacific Grove.
3) Parcel size: 0.111037 Acres.
4) Existing Land Use: The parcel is developed and zoned for residential use. 5) Slope: The parcel is terraced with benches; the slope is less than 25%. 6) Soils: The parcel is located on soils classified by the Monterey County Soils report as Sheridan coarse sandy loam, 5 to 15 percent slopes. The Sheridan series consists of well-drained soils on hills and mountains. Runoff is medium, and the erosion hazard is slight. These soils are formed in material underlain by granitic and schistose rock. Slopes are 5 to 75 percent. Most areas of this soil are used for range or building sites.
7) Vegetation: The vegetation associated with this soil type is generally open grass or grass and oak type or it consists of madrone, scattered Coulter and ponderosa pine, and brush. This site is composed of Coast live oak and planted ornamental as an understory.
8) Forest Condition and Health: The stand of trees and health are evaluated with the use of the residual trees combined with surrounding adjacent trees as a complete stand.
The site is developed, and the surrounding pine forest canopy is fragmented. The overstory is a closed cone forest that is urbanized and transitioning to a lower oak canopy. The site is overcrowded with oaks and appears to be in a state of longtime deferred maintenance.

5 BACKGROUND
The assessment focuses on the incorporation of the preliminary location of site improvements coupled with consideration for the general goals of site improvement desired by the landowner. Proposed improvements assessed included preserving trees to the greatest extent feasible, maintaining the view shed, and general aesthetic quality of the area while complying with City of Pacific Grove Municipal Codes. The study of individual trees determined treatments necessary to complete the project and meet the goals of the landowner. Trees within and immediately adjacent proposed development area were located, measured, inspected, flagged, and recorded. The assessment of each tree concluded with an opinion of whether the tree should be removed, or preserved, based on the extent and effect of construction activity on the short and long-term health of the tree. All meetings and field reviews were focused on the area immediately surrounding the proposed development.
TREE LIST
The following trees were observed and tagged on site:
• 042 – 12”, 13” diameter codominant positioned, double stemmed oak at the center of the front portion of the lot.
• 043 - 9” diameter oak- codominant position
• 044 - 7” diameter suppressed oak behind the aloe along the west property line. • 045 - 16” diameter dominant oak
• 046 - 9” diameter suppressed oak with lean, it is not an upper canopy tree and is identified for removal
• 047 – 12”, 11”, 10” diameter triple stem oak located against the existing structure. • 048 and 049 – both 5” diameter Pittosporums located along the East fence line are to be removed
• 050 – 7”and 6” diameter double stem oak, it is a suppressed tree • 051- 13” diameter oak – codominant positioned
• 052 -14”, 13” diameter double stemmed, codominant Oak • 053–16“ diameter codominant oak with lean to the south high, with Hypoxylon on its bark
OBSERVATIONS/DISCUSSION
The following list includes observations made while on-site and summarizes details discussed during this stage of the planning process.
• The site is developed with an existing structure and parking area. My understanding is that most of the existing trees are to remain. • The previous grading for retaining walls has been performed around many of the existing oaks that affect each tree differently. A suppressed coast live oak (#046) in poor condition with exhibiting signs of fungal activity on its stem with epicormic shoot growth is proposed for removal.
• Two 5” diameter non-native pittosporums (049 and 048) are to be removed. • The project proposes to demolish the existing structure where tree #047 is growing against it. After close inspection, it appears that careful construction critical root zone encroachment will be minimal and due to the soil type, not many roots will be encountered. The tree is expected to satisfactorily survive construction.

6 CONCLUSION/PROJECT ASSESSMENT
This proposal to build an addition to a single-family residence and detached garage is planned to maintain the existing urban forested environment, allowing the urban forest to continue to exist and regenerate over time. Two non-native trees that measure less than 12” in diameter (048 and #049) and one small and suppressed oak tree (#046) in poor condition are proposed for removal due to construction grading for the garage; the oak will not survive construction. All remaining trees of protected diameter size are expected to survive construction when properly protected and monitored.
Short Term and Long Term Effects
Site disturbance will occur during building construction. Short-term effects are confined to the construction envelope and immediate surroundings, where trees may be trimmed and root systems reduced. The pruning of tree crowns above 30% and reduction of root area may have a short-term effect on those trees treated, including a reduction of growth and potential limb dieback.
No significant long-term effects on the urbanized forest ecosystem are anticipated as this is already a developed residential site. The project as proposed is not likely to significantly reduce the availability of urbanized wildlife habitats over the long term. Whenever construction activities take place near trees, there is the potential for those trees to experience a decline in the long term as well. The greatest attempt has been made to identify for removal trees likely to experience decline from development.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Tree Pruning
It is to be understood that the pruning of retained trees may be expected for this site, especially near building construction areas. Pruning will be following American National Standards Institute (ANSI) A300 (Part 1) Tree Management Standards in accordance with the International Society of Arboriculture Best Management Practices and will include trees with deadwood, minor structural defects, or diseases that must be compensated, and possibly vehicle or pedestrian clearance. Trees should be monitored on occasion for health and vigor after pruning. Should the health and vigor of any tree decline it will be treated as appropriately recommended by a certified arborist or qualified forester.
Remedial pruning should occur before construction. Following construction, any aboveground tree pruning/trimming should be delayed until one year after completion of construction. Following construction, a qualified arborist should monitor trees adjacent to the area of the improvement and if any decline in health that is attributable to the construction is noted, additional trees should be planted on the site.
Tree Removal and Replacement
Removal of a suppressed coast live oak (#046) is recommended because it is in poor condition. The site is heavily vegetated and this tree grows beneath other taller oaks. It exhibits signs of fungal activity on its stem and will be impacted by grading for the garage.
Because the site is so heavily vegetated and has a high number of oaks, no replanting is recommended to avoid a crowded over-vegetated lot with no sunlight.

7 Tree Protection
Before the commencement of construction activities:
• Trees located adjacent to construction areas shall be protected from damage by construction equipment by the use of temporary fencing and through the wrapping of trunks with protective materials.
• Fencing shall consist of chain link, snowdrift, plastic mesh, hay bales, or field fence. Existing fencing may also be used.
• Fencing must not be to be attached to the tree. It shall be free-standing or selfsupporting so as not to damage trees. Fencing shall be rigidly supported and shall stand a minimum height of four feet above grade.
• Soil compaction, parking of vehicles or heavy equipment, stockpiling of construction materials, and/or dumping of materials should not be allowed adjacent to trees on the property, especially within fenced areas. • Fenced areas and trunk protection materials must remain in place during the entire construction period.
During grading and excavation activities:
• All trenching, grading or any other digging or soil removal that is expected to encounter tree roots will be monitored by a qualified arborist or forester to ensure against drilling or cutting into or through major roots. • The project arborist should be on-site during excavation activities to direct any minor field adjustments that may be needed.
• Trenching for the retaining wall and driveway located adjacent to any tree should be done by hand where practical and any roots greater than 3-inches diameter should be bridged or pruned appropriately.
• Any roots that must be cut should be cut by manually digging a trench and cutting exposed roots with a saw, vibrating knife, rock-saw, narrow trencher with sharp blades, or other approved root pruning equipment.
• Any roots damaged during grading or excavation should be exposed to sound tissue and cut cleanly with a saw.
If at any time potentially significant roots are discovered:
• The arborist/forester will be authorized to halt excavation until appropriate mitigation measures are formulated and implemented.
• When significant roots are identified that must be removed that will destabilize or negatively affects the target trees, the property owner will be notified immediately and a determination for removal will be assessed and made as required by law for treatment of the area that will not risk death decline or instability of the tree consistent with the implementation of appropriate construction design approaches to minimize effects, such as hand digging, bridging or tunneling under roots, etc.

8 Best Management Practices to Observe (BMP)
The following best management practices must be adhered to:
A) Tree service contractors will verify animal or bird nesting before tree work. If nesting activity of migratory birds is found, work must stop and a wildlife biologist consulted before commencing work (the typical bird nesting season ranges from February 22 to August 1).
B) Do not deposit any fill around trees, which may compact soils and alter water and air relationships. Avoid depositing fill, parking equipment, or staging construction materials near existing trees. Covering and compacting soil around trees can alter water and air relationships with the roots. Fill placed within the drip line may encourage the development of oak root fungus (Armillaria mellea). As necessary, trees may be protected by boards, fencing, or other materials to delineate protection zones.
C) Pruning shall be conducted so as not to unnecessarily injure the tree. GeneralPrincipals of pruning include placing cuts immediately beyond the branch collar, making clean cuts by scoring the underside of the branch first, and for live oak, avoiding the period from February through May.
D) Native live trees are not adapted to summer watering and may develop crown or root rot as a result. Do not regularly irrigate within the drip line of oaks. Native, locally adapted, drought-resistant species are the most compatible with this goal.
E) Root cutting should occur outside of the springtime. Late June and July would likely be the best. Pruning of the live crown should not occur from February through May.
F) Tree material greater than 2 inches in diameter remaining on-site for more than one month that is not cut and split into firewood must be covered with thick clear plastic that is dug in securely around the pile to discourage infestation and dispersion of bark beetles.
G) A mulch layer up to approximately 4 inches deep should be applied to the ground under selected trees following construction. Only 1 to 2 inches of mulch should be applied within 1 to 2 feet of the trunk, and under no circumstances should any soil or mulch be placed against the root crown (base) of trees. The best source of mulch would be from chipped material generated on-site.
H) If trees along near the development are visibly declining in vigor, a Professional Forester or Certified Arborist should be contacted to inspect the site to recommend a course of action.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Jocelyn Francis, Police Administrative Services Manager MEETING DATE: October 19, 2022
SUBJECT: Safe Parking Program Revisions
CEQA: Categorical Exemption, CEQA Guidelines Section 15301, Class I, Existing Facilities
RECOMMENDATION
Introduce and hold of the first reading of an ordinance that amends Pacific Grove Municipal Code Chapter 18.36.050 related to the safe parking program. Direct that publication of the ordinance will be satisfied by publication of a summary approved by the City Attorney.
DISCUSSION
On January, 21 2015, the City of Pacific Grove approved a Safe Sleeping Pilot Program and on May 18, 2016 codified the successful pilot program into the municipal code. The code created a process for local religious institutions, businesses, and public entities with hardscaped parking lots to participate in the program.
Since that time, the City of Pacific Grove has issued a single site permit to a local church, who participates in the One Starfish Program/Orphan Productions who have successfully helped dozens of unhoused community members. Community members benefit from case management meetings, financial assistance; and outside service referrals for housing, employment, childcare, and healthcare. In addition, there have been no recorded complaints from the surrounding neighborhood and no recorded complaints involving program participants.
This year, it was brought to staff's attention the word pilot had incorrectly stayed in the codified program. Upon further review, the ordinance referenced the program as the "safe sleeping program" - however, most agencies in California refer to similar programs as "safe parking programs." And, it made reference to the chief of police for implementation, when it is more logical for permit issuance to be a community development/housing function.
Therefore, it is recommended to amend the ordinance as drafted.

ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PACIFIC GROVE ADDING CHAPTER 18.36.050 OF THE PACIFIC GROVE MUNICIPAL CODE
REGARDING THE SAFE PARKING PROGRAM
FACTS
1. The City has a lack of adequate housing which results in a number of unhoused residents not able to park overnight in locations without concern for their safety, health or welfare.
The City is concerned with the need to safeguard private property, and at the same time provide opportunities for those in need to find safe and sanitary places to sleep on a shortterm basis while they transition to more permanent housing.
2. On January 21, 2015, City Council enacted a Safe Sleeping Pilot Program that temporarily modified Pacific Grove Municipal Code (PGMC) §18.36.050 and authorized the City to issue site permits to allow for the overnight staying in vehicles.
3. Upon completion of the Safe Sleeping Pilot Program, on May 18, 2016, City Council formally codified the Safe Sleeping Program in PGMC §18.36.050.
4. Earlier this year, grammatical revisions to PGMC §18.36.050 were recommended as drafted.
5. This ordinance amends PGMC §18.36.050.
6. In the enactment of this ordinance, the City followed the guidelines adopted by the State of California and published in the California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 15000, et seq. and the enactment of this ordinance is exempt under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15301, Class 1, Existing Facilities.

TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Brian Pierik, City Attorney
MEETING DATE: October 19, 2022
SUBJECT: Ordinance Amending Pacific Grove Municipal Code Chapter 14.04-Marine Refuge Establishing Roadwork Restrictions During the Harbor Seal Pupping Season.
CEQA: Does not constitute a “Project” per California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15378
RECOMMENDATION
1. Request a reading of the Ordinance Title;
2. Motion to waive further reading;
Introduce and hold first reading of an ordinance amending Municipal Code Section Chapter 14.04 Marine Refuge Establishing Roadwork Restrictions During the Harbor Seal Pupping Season; and
3. Direct that publication of the ordinance will be satisfied by publication of a summary approved by the City Attorney.
4. DISCUSSION
Background:
Pacific harbor seals are protected by federal law, as are all marine mammals in Monterey Bay including waters adjoining Pacific Grove. Federal law further designates the shoreline of Pacific Grove is a protected national marine sanctuary. It has long been the policy of the City of Pacific Grove to protect harbor seal mothers and pups where birthing occurs on any Pacific Grove beach.
The harbor seal pupping season in Monterey Bay generally occurs during the months of February through May each year (the “Harbor Seal Pupping Season”). During the Harbor Seal Pupping Season harbor seal mothers and pups are especially vulnerable to stresses from undue activities such as construction noise. Disturbing harbor seal mothers can lead to abandonment and starvation of pups.
Before the 2022 Harbor Seal Pupping Season the City issued a CDP exemption to allow roadwork construction on Ocean View Blvd. After the exemption was granted, road construction equipment arrived and started work on February 14th, 2022, which involved sawing through the pavement at 2nd Street. This area is about 425 feet from the main pupping beach at Hopkins Marine Station. After being contacted by the Resource Protection Coordinator for NOAA’s Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, the City work stopped on April 11th (8 weeks after commencing) and was suspended until the pupping season was over.
PG CC 10/19/22
448 of 584
the pupping season was over.
At the August 17, 2022 meeting, the City Council heard evidence of the impacts during the eight weeks of roadwork construction near city beaches. The City Council considered concerns that the Coastal Development Permit (“CDP”) exemption issued by the City did not appear to consider potentially substantial adverse impacts environmentally sensitive habitat areas such as the harbor seal colony during this critical time as well as City Local Coastal Plan Policies. In addition, Bay Net docents reported there were 48 births during the 8 weeks of road construction noise and that 23 of those births ended in failure. They further reported that during this same period there were 20% fewer seals on the beaches when compared to the same time of year in 2021.
At its August 17, 2022 meeting the City Council directed the City Attorney to draft a proposed ordinance amendment to implement roadwork restrictions during the Harbor Seal Pupping Season. In his report to the City Council, Councilmember Coletti presented PowerPoint Slides with suggested implementation language.
After consideration of the Council direction our office has drafted an ordinance to amend Chapter
14.04-Marine Refuge to add a new Sections PCMC 14.04.035 and 14.04.090 to provide for suspension of Roadwork on Ocean View Blvd between Eardley and Carmel Avenues during the Harbor Seal Pupping Season unless it is coordinated in advance with the NOAA. The proposed PCMC code amendments are as follows:
14.04.035 Definitions.
(a) As used in this chapter, terms are defined as follows:
(1) The Harbor Seal Pupping Season shall be generally defined as occurring during the months of February through May. The City shall consult with local NOAA offices to determine commencement and conclusion of the season.
(2) An emergency is a sudden unexpected occurrence demanding immediate action to prevent or mitigate loss or damage to life, health, property, or essential public services. This includes necessary action to restore, repair, or maintain public works, utilities, and services during and immediately following a natural disaster or serious accident or other cases of emergency.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PACIFIC GROVE AMENDING CHAPTER 14.04 OF THE PACIFIC GROVE MUNICIPAL CODE
ESTABLISHING ROADWORK RESTRICTIONS DURING THE HARBOR SEAL
PUPPING SEASON
WHEREAS, pacific harbor seals are protected by federal law, as are all marine mammals; and
WHEREAS, the shoreline of Pacific Grove is a protected national marine sanctuary; and
WHEREAS, Pacific Grove Local Coastal Program Policy BIO-11 provides: “The City will implement seal pupping protection measures…”; and
WHEREAS, in general, the protections of harbor seals prohibit any actions that harass the animals with the effect of causing the seals to change their behavior or causing injury to the seals; and
WHEREAS, it is the policy of the City of Pacific Grove to protect harbor seal mothers and pups where birthing occurs on any Pacific Grove beach; and WHEREAS, if pups are delivered on any city beach, undue activity and construction noise can alarm adult seals, which could result in abandonment and starvation of pups; and WHEREAS, the harbor seal pupping season in Monterey Bay generally occurs during the months of February through May each year (the “Harbor Seal Pupping Season”); and WHEREAS, during the 2022 Harbor Seal Pupping Season the City issued a Coastal Development Permit (“CDP”) exemption to allow roadwork construction on Ocean View Blvd.
After the exemption was granted, road construction equipment arrived and started work on February 14th, 2022, which involved sawing through the pavement at 2nd Street, about 425 feet from the main pupping beach at Hopkins Marine Station. After being contacted by the Resource Protection Coordinator for NOAA’s Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, the City work stopped on April 11th (8 weeks after commencing) and was suspended until the Harbor Seal Pupping Season was over; and
WHEREAS, at the August 17, 2022 meeting, the City Council considered the impacts of roadwork construction near city beaches during the Harbor Seal Pupping Season. The City Council considered that the harbor seal rookery areas are explicitly defined as an environmentally sensitive habitat area (ESHA) and that the Coastal Development Permit (“CDP”) exemption issued by the City did not appear to consider potentially substantial adverse impacts to environmentally sensitive habitat areas such as the harbor seal colony during the Harbor Seal Pupping Season as well as City Local Coastal Plan policies. In addition, Bay Net docents reported there were 48 births during the 8 weeks of road construction noise and that 23 of those births ended in failure. They further reported that during this same period there were 20% fewer seals on the beaches compared to the same time of year in 2021; and PG CC 10/19/22

2 CAM #4863-5250-4629 v1
WHEREAS, at its August 17, 2022 meeting the City Council directed the City Attorney to draft a proposed ordinance amendment to implement roadwork restrictions during the Harbor Seal Pupping Season.; and
WHEREAS, notice of the City Council public hearing on the second reading of the draft ordinance was published in the Monterey County Herald on ______________, 2022; and WHEREAS, this ordinance amends Municipal Code Chapter 14.04 — Marine Refuge; and
WHEREAS, in the enactment of this ordinance, the City followed the guidelines adopted by the State of California and published in the California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 15000, et seq.; and
WHEREAS, in the course of the review of the draft Ordinance, the amendments proposed by this ordinance do not result in any new significant impacts to the environment because they are either more protective or procedural in nature; and WHEREAS, the City filed a Notice of Exemption pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Class 7, Actions by Regulatory Agencies for Protection of Natural Resources, and this Ordinance has been mitigated to a point where the proposed project will not have the potential to significantly degrade the environment; will have no significant impact on long-term environmental goals; will have no significant cumulative effect upon the environment; and will not cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly.

Concept Review for City of Pacific Grove Climate
Action and Adaptation Plan
Cities worldwide are creating specific and measurable climate action goals by committing to a series of actions— as part of the U.S. Conference of Mayors’ Climate Protection Agreement. The City of Pacific Grove is a member of this agreement and needs to join the efforts with strategic and actionable goals based on the following facts:
● The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) most recent report indicates that global warming and the melting of the Arctic ice caps are happening at a faster rate than previously anticipated, and it stresses the urgency of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions* in order to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius going forward.
● NOAA reports that the rising ocean acidity off the coast of California (twice the rate of the global average) caused by GHG emissions threatens the shellfish and other species in Monterey Bay. This represents a grave threat to our local economy.
● The Paris Climate Agreement adopted by the United Nations specifically identifies the importance of local governments in the role of environmental protection via aggressive policies and programs that reduce our GHG emissions while promoting a 21st century economy.
● The Coastal Commission has identified several areas of concern for climate change specific to the coastal zone including: storms and flooding; coastal erosion and loss of sandy beaches; coastal habitats; marine ecosystems; land use planning decisions; and shoreline access. Pacific Grove has approximately 458 acres of land within the coastal zone (City of Pacific Grove Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment, 20151).
● Cities, including Pacific Grove, will face tremendous financial losses due to the projected sea level rise, the intensity of storms, drought, wildfires and coastal flooding, linked to rising global temperatures caused by GHG emissions.
Business and private properties are also at risk.
● The Pacific Grove community, led by the Beautification and Natural Resource Commission and Sustainable Pacific Grove, is encouraging the City to develop and implement a sound climate action plan.
● Pacific Grove’s City Council priorities call for environmental stewardship through adoption and development of policies and ordinances that preserve and protect the environment.

Recommendations
The sustainable projects, actions, and accomplishments in the City Pacific Grove set our community on an ideal path to develop a more formal and strategic Climate Action and Adaptation Plan. The BNRC Climate Action Subcommittee, in collaboration with Sustainable PG, prepared this outline for how the City might move forward with a plan and identified priority actions for consideration. Specifically, the BNRC and SPG recommend developing a Climate Action and Adaptation Plan.
Climate Action and Adaptation Plans (CAAP) involve conducting an inventory of greenhouse gasses (GHG)*, setting reduction targets**, identifying priority actions, creating a plan for implementing actions and monitoring changes. A CAAP will keep our community on track for realizing reduction goals for our priority actions and monitoring success through annual inventory comparisons. By working in conjunction with Local Governments for Sustainability and other appropriate organizations, the city can track implementation and progress of the climate action plan, as well as consider equitable distribution of services to ensure that those who will be most greatly impacted by the effects of changing climate are not left behind. See City of Watsonville’s CAAP and Santa Cruz as example CAAPs.
In order to meet the City’s climate goals, the listed priority actions include three types of initiatives:
Climate action refers to actions taken to reduce emissions. Examples include transitioning to low-carbon energy sources, such as solar or wind energy.
Climate adaptation, on the other hand, refers to preparing for the impact climate change is already having on our communities, such as increased droughts, wildfires, and flooding.
Climate restoration consists of goals and actions that draw excess carbon out of the atmosphere and help restore balance to ecological systems, such as tree-planting and regenerative agricultural practices.
This initial list of climate actions, adaptation, and restoration activities will be built upon as we acquire data from our GHG inventory, develop our CAAP, and identify priorities and needs of the community.
Climate actions to reduce GHG emissions:
● Complete a city-specific inventory of greenhouse gas to inform actions.
These results build on the AMBAG Energy Watch energy assessments of all city facilities and complement the recent Monterey County GHG Inventory;
● Enhance transportation options such as bicycle trails, carpooling and public transit;
● Increase the use of clean alternative energy, including installation of solar panels on appropriate city infrastructure;
PG CC 10/19/22
468 of 584
● Make energy efficiency a priority through building code improvements, retrofitting City facilities with energy efficient lighting and heating and urging employees to conserve energy;
● Purchase only Energy Star equipment and appliances for City use; ● Practice and promote sustainable building practices using the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED program or a similar system;
● Electrify municipal vehicles when feasible or increase the fuel efficiency of fleet vehicles;
● Educate, promote, and encourage the community (business and private, and schools) to reduce GHG emissions with the above actions; Climate adaptation to prepare for impact of climate change:
● Initiate an Eco-tourism committee with representation from each tourism sector of hospitality, leisure activity, and travel;
● Reconsider coastal structures and trails based on the findings of the 2015 City of Pacific Grove Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment, and the Shoreline Management Plan;
● Incorporate principles of equity in planning, design, and implementation; Climate restoration to draw excess carbon out of the atmosphere and to restore ecological balance:
● Maintain a healthy urban canopy and promote tree planting; ● Practice and promote a sustainable ecosystem by eliminating toxic pesticides (herbicides, insecticides, and rodenticides) and supporting natural, nontoxic methods of pest management on city property; ● Enhance the persistence of cultural practices with a focus on preserving the ecosystems that are integral to local Tribal communities. * An inventory of GHG emissions requires measurement of energy used (electricity, natural gas, gasoline/miles driven) and waste generated (landfill, yard waste, recyclables and compostable biowaste), using available metrics and a conversion factor into GHG emissions for each, and segregating these measurements by sector (municipal, business, private). Water usage should also be inventoried.
** For simplicity and clarity, greenhouse gas emission reduction is used as the method of addressing the damaging effects of global climate change. In the U.S. Mayors’ Climate Protection Agreement, terms like climate disruption, reducing global warming pollution, greenhouse gas emission reduction, and emissions reduction are interchangeably used.
Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions can be achieved by consuming less energy and producing less waste, both of which save money.

DISCUSSION
On November 7, 2019, Council approved amendments to Chapters 11.98 and 11.99 of the municipal code regarding prohibitions on single-use plastics and food packaging, which were to be initiated on April 22, 2020.
Awareness outreach and alternate resources had been given via business and community meetings and in-person business contact. The outreach was a joint effort of the City of Pacific Grove Public Works, The Chamber of Commerce and local volunteer NGOs (Communities for Sustainable Monterey County, Monterey Bay Aquarium, and Monterey Regional Stormwater Education Alliance).
While Chapter 11.98 of the code is in effect, enforcement has been limited due to COVID19. The BNRC Recycling and Litter Reduction Subcommittee proposes several amendments to Chapter 11.98 to be voted on and approved before proceeding with the re-initiation and enforcement. The proposed amendments are described below and shown illustrated on the red-lined draft of Chapter 11.98.
11.98.0301.
1. Change the minimum requirement of carryout paper bags from 100% to 75% recycled material.
2. Offer paper only at checkout for the cost of $0.25. All reusable plastic bags, including the 4ml plastic bags, are sold separately and priced similarly.

BNRC recommends suspending enforcement of dry cleaner film prohibition until further notice. The subcommittee would also ask for suspension of enforcement to the dry cleaner bags portion of the codes until further notice due to constraints on alternatives and current strain on the dry cleaner businesses.
Additionally, include prohibition of balloons and all types of confetti in the Ordinance. Amend all Use/Event permits to clearly include the prohibition and communicate the restrictions more visibly on the permit application and website. Enforce collection of cleaning deposit and consider increasing the amount of the deposit.
Prior to policy changes, it is the recommendation that a public outreach campaign occur within the business community that will be effected.

Chapter 11.98 REDUCTION OF SINGLE-USE PLASTICS
Sections:
11.98.010 Purpose and findings.
11.98.020 Definitions.
11.98.030 Ban on single-use plastics and plastic bags and charge for paper carryout bags.
11.98.035 Ban on single-use disposable food service ware.

11.98.010 Purpose and findings.
(a) It is the intent of the city of Pacific Grove in enacting this chapter to eliminate the use of single-use plastics, to encourage the use of reusable or compostable products by consumers, food and lodging providers, and retail establishments, and to reduce the consumption of single-use plastics in general. (b) By promoting compostable materials and reusable products, the city positions itself to meet state mandated waste diversion targets.
(c) Single-use disposable packaging and food ware (SUDs) are a major contributor to street litter, ocean pollution, marine and other wildlife harm, and greenhouse gas emissions. (d) Plastics in waterways and oceans break down into smaller pieces known as microplastics, which are not biodegradable and are present in most of the world’s oceans. (e) Among other hazards, plastic debris attracts and concentrates ambient pollutants in seawater and freshwater, which can transfer to fish, other seafood and salt that are eventually sold for human consumption.
(f) The city finds that the addition of this chapter to the municipal code qualifies as a regulation for the protection of natural resources and the environment as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). [Ord. 19-016 § 2, 2019; Ord. 14-015 § 2, 2014].
