RESOLUTION NO. ____-____

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PACIFIC GROVE RESCINDINGTHE LIBRARY CARD APPLICATIONS POLICY, 200-6A, LIBRARY RFERENCE POLICY, 200-6C, CHILDREN’S SERVICES, 200-6F, CIRCULATION OF MATERIALS, 200-6H, GIFT ACCEPTANCE POLICY FOR PRINT AND NON-PRINT MATERIALS, 200-6I AND LIBRARY AND LOCAL HISTORY COLLECTIONS POLICY, 200-6L.

FINDINGS

1. On December 2, 1992, and as subsequently amended on February 7, 1996, the City Council adopted Council Policy 200-6A, Library Card Applications, establishing rules and procedures governing the issuance of library cards.

2. On November 18, 1992, the City Council adopted Council Policy 200-6C, Library Reference Policy, establishing procedures governing reference services provided by Library staff.

3. On February 7, 1996, the City Council adopted Council Policy 200-6F, Children’s Services, establishing procedures governing services provided by the Library’s Children’s Department.

4. On December 2, 1992, and as subsequently amended on February 7, 1996, the City Council adopted Council Policy 200-6H, Circulation of Library Materials, establishing procedures governing the checkout, renewal, and return of Library materials.

5. On December 2, 1992, the City Council adopted Council Policy 200-6I, Library Gift Acceptance Policy for Print and Non-Print Materials, establishing procedures governing the acceptance and disposal of donated print and non-print Library materials.

6. On May 4, 2011, the City Council adopted Council Policy 200-6L, Library Local History Collections Policy, establishing procedures governing the profile, acquisition and use of the Local History Collections.

7. Council Policies 200-6A, 200-6C, 200-6H, and 200-6L address routine, day-to-day administrative and operational matters of Library service delivery, rather than matters of citywide legal, fiscal, or public-policy significance appropriate for adoption as City Council Policy.

8. Council Policy 200-6F’s relevant policy information addressing behavior was incorporated into 200-6N, Library Rules of Conduct. In addition, 200-6F’s relevant policy information addressing materials selection and acquisition was incorporated into 200-6M, Collection Development. Council Policy 200-6I’s relevant policy information addressing material selection and acquisition was incorporated into 200-6M, Collection Development. Council PGCC 10-21-26

Page 13 ends

Policy 200-6N, Library Rules of Conduct and 200-6M, Collection Development were both adopted November 5, 2025.

9. Consistent with the practice of other City departments, day-to-day administrative and operational procedures are maintained and updated by department staff without requiring City Council action. The subject matter of these policies is therefore more appropriately maintained as internal Library Department procedures, subject to periodic review and revision by the Library Director. This allows the Library to keep its operating procedures current with technology, service practices, and applicable law without requiring amendments to Council policy.

10. City governance and Library operations will be more effective with the rescission of Council Policies 200-6A, 200-6C, 200-6F, 200-6H, 200-6I, and 200-6L.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PACIFIC GROVE:

1. The Council determines that each of the Findings set forth above is true and correct, and by this reference incorporates those Findings as an integral part of this Resolution.

2. The Council rescinds the existing policies of Library Card Applications, 200-6A, Library Reference Policy, 200-6C, Children’s Services, 200-6F, Circulation of Materials, 200-6H, Gift Acceptance Policy for Print and Non-print Materials, 200-6I, and Library and Local History Collections, 200-6L as attached to this Resolution in their entirety.

3. This Resolution shall become effective immediately following its passage and adoption.

Collections Policy 200-6(L) May 4, 2011 1 of 1
Purpose
To promote the city’s heritage by collecting, preserving, organizing and making available historical resources related or relevant to the City of Pacific Grove.

Policy
Collection Profile. The Pacific Grove Public Library collects, organizes, stores and displays books, maps, images, manuscripts, audio visual materials, oral histories, biography files, directories, voter registers, local newspaper clippings, ephemera, and other printed, handwritten and drawn artifacts pertaining to Pacific Grove's heritage. Due to the importance of this unique collection, appropriate preservation methods and materials are sought out and utilized.

The collection is limited to those materials which deal directly with Pacific Grove. Materials broader in scope than Pacific Grove which include Pacific Grove as a significant part or which contain unique information about the city are also collected. The Pacific Grove Public Library collects an assortment of City documents but makes no attempt to store all such documents. The City Clerk’s Office, located in City Hall, is the official repository of documents related to the City.

Selection/Acquisition. Items included in the Local History Collection are selected based on the collection profile, historic value, interest, and need. Bulky, cumbersome or difficult to display and store items are evaluated for acceptance on an individual basis. Reference staff will make final decisions on the acquisition and de-selection of materials.

Use. Due to the unique nature of the collection, materials stored in the Local History Collection do not circulate. Materials are made accessible by reference staff during the Library’s regular open hours. Due to the unique nature of some materials, appointments may be necessary.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PACIFIC GROVE

PROHIBITING THE USE OF CITY-OWNED FACILITIES FOR CIVIL

IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT ACTIVITIES
WHEREAS, the City of Pacific Grove (“City”) is home to a diverse and vibrant community, including immigrant families who contribute meaningfully to the social, cultural, and economic vitality of our City; and
WHEREAS, the City owns and maintains numerous public facilities, including parks, open space areas, parking lots, community centers, public buildings, and other City-owned properties; and WHEREAS, these facilities are community assets maintained for the benefit and enjoyment of Pacific Grove residents and visitors, and in some instances generate revenue to support essential City services; and
WHEREAS, civil immigration enforcement is the responsibility of the federal government; and WHEREAS, in recent months, the City Council, staff, and community have become increasingly aware of federal immigration enforcement agencies utilizing publicly owned facilities in other jurisdictions for immigration enforcement activities; and WHEREAS, the use of City-owned facilities as staging areas, operational bases, or processing locations for federal civil immigration enforcement activities is not the intended use of these community assets and may undermine community trust, limit access to public spaces, and interfere with the City’s authority over its own property; and WHEREAS, the City Council desires to ensure that City-owned facilities are preserved for their intended public purposes, remain welcoming spaces for all residents, and are managed consistently and transparently; and

Agenda No. 12 A

CITY OF PACIFIC GROVE
300 Forest Avenue, Pacific Grove, California 93950
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Amy Colony, Program Manager
MEETING DATE: October 21, 2026
SUBJECT: Chinese Pavilion Project
CEQA: Categorical Exemption, CEQA Guidelines Section 15302, Class 2, Replacement or Reconstruction of Existing Structures and Facilities

RECOMMENDATION

2. Authorize staff to proceed with the project permitting process with the attached Site Plan and project elements detailed below and attached.

3. Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.

DISCUSSION
Background and Process
In 2022, the Monterey Bay Chinese Association (MBCA) proposed gifting the City of Pacific Grove a Chinese pavilion to honor Chinese Americans' history and contributions in Pacific Grove. For several years, MBCA members worked closely with the Recreation Board and City staff to identify a location for the pavilion. The City Council approved the concept of installing a Chinese pavilion with the addition of a traditional Chinese moon gate at Elmarie Dyke Open Space at the 4/3/2024 City Council meeting.

Beginning in October 2025, MBCA and City staff worked closely with landscape architect Oona Johnsen to develop an Architectural Design plan and artistic renderings showing the specifics of the Chinese pavilion, moon gate, and landscape design for the project. Staff presented these plans and renderings at the 8/19/2026 City Council meeting, and Council unanimously approved them. Please refer to the Project Meeting Timeline in the attachments for a full overview of the project’s meeting timeline and motions.

Funding Agreement
The MBCA has raised approximately $220,000 for the Chinese Pavilion and Moon Gate Project. Of this amount, approximately $80,000 will cover the purchase and shipping of the prefabricated pavilion from China. The prefabricated pavilion will be purchased directly from the manufacturer by the MBCA. The remaining $140,000 will fund the Funding Agreement between the MBCA and the City of Pacific Grove, which will cover costs for installing the pavilion, building the moon gate and new fence, constructing new retaining walls, adding decomposed granite, installing interpretive panels, and adding landscaping. The attached funding agreement was reviewed by the City Attorney's Office.

Chinese Pavilion and Moon Gate Landscape Architecture Design and Site Plan In addition to presenting the Funding Agreement to City Council, staff is returning with additional details on the pavilion and moon gate's design specifics and dimensions, as well as additional site modifications such as pavilion placement, tree removal, and other additions or alterations to the project site. The specifics are outlined below and can be referenced visually. Please refer to the Landscape Architecture Design and Site Plan, Pavilion Dimensions, Tree Removal Plan, and Artistic Renderings in the attachments.

Staff is requesting council authorization to proceed with the permitting process, which includes an Architectural Review Board PGCC 10-21-26

Page 85 ends

Permit and a Planning Commission Use Permit, with the project as proposed in the attached site plans and project details provided below.

Chinese Pavilion
Materials: Prefabricated aluminum structure imported from a manufacturer in China.

Design: Traditional hexagon shape with a two-tiered roof and 3 stair-accessed entrances. One entrance will be ADA accessible. Includes interior benches.

Colors: Forest green for the roof and vermilion red for the pillars and lattice work. These are traditional colors for Chinese pavilions and carry symbolic meaning. The structure will be painted prior to shipping.

Height: 24’7” tall (including the 2' concrete platform).

Diameter: 14' at the base and 20’3” for the 1st roof (largest diameter).

Placement: Pavilion will be placed approximately 15’ into the park from where the wooden gazebo currently sits. This placement will allow visitors to access the pavilion from its three entrances.

Chinese Moon Gate & Fence
Materials: Cedar with protective stain.

Design: Traditional Chinese moon gate design with circular entrance.

Moon Gate Measurements: 9” tall by at least 5’ wide.

Fence Measurements: Approximately 3’ tall. Will be deer safe.

Retaining Walls
Concrete retaining walls will replace all the current wooden retaining walls. The alcove located at the south end of the park will have its back wall moved 5' forward into the park to be flush with the other retaining walls. Potential to include concrete benches in the wall design for park seating.

Installation of Decomposed Granite
New decomposed granite will be installed throughout the east side of the park. Some grading will level the site and ensure ADA accessibility.

Tree Removal
Two trees and several large plants are proposed for removal. Staff will follow all tree-removal procedures as required by City ordinance. The proposed removals include the following:

One large avocado tree next to the adjacent business building (153–199 17th Street) which is pushing up against the building's foundation.

One large oak tree next to the 16th Street entrance is currently in rapid decline.

Two large yucca plants in the south-east corner of the park.

Picnic Tables and Memorial Benches
The 5 existing picnic tables will need to be removed. The new retaining wall includes seating in the design. The pavilion will also have seating. Potential to install new picnic tables depending on the Chautauqua Hall Renovations plans.

The 3 existing memorial benches are city-owned and will either remain in place or be moved to better locations within the park. Potential to install new benches depending on the Chautauqua Hall Renovations plans.

Installation of Interpretive Panels
Near the pavilion, interpretive panels will be installed to educate visitors about the history of Chinese Americans in the area and their contributions to Pacific Grove.

Additional Chinese-inspired landscaping
Plant non-spreading, climate-appropriate bamboo in a semicircle behind the pavilion. Include other Chinese gardeninspired and climate-appropriate landscaping as funding allows.

Next Steps

1. Execution of the Funding Agreement. If approved, the next immediate step would be to execute the Funding Agreement with MBCA. This is a necessary next step to formalize the funding arrangement for the project, which is entirely funded by the MBCA's fundraising efforts.

2. Planning Commission Use Permit. Proposed plans would be submitted to the Community Development Department to obtain a Use Permit from the Planning Commission. The site's zoning requires a Use Permit to allow this type of structure on the site.

3. Architectural Review Board approval. Following the Use Permit process, staff would move forward with the process to obtain a Design Review Permit from the Architectural Review Board.

Agenda No. 12 B

CITY OF PACIFIC GROVE
300 Forest Avenue, Pacific Grove, California 93950
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: George Fuerst, Environmental Program Manager
MEETING DATE: October 21, 2026
SUBJECT: George Washington Park Forest Management Plan FINAL DRAFT for Adoption and September 2026 Work Update
CEQA: Categorical Exemption, CEQA Guidelines Section 15304, Class 4, Minor Alterations to Land

RECOMMENDATION

1. Receive update on forest management work completed in George Washington Park in September 2026.

2. Adopt the Final Draft George Washington Park Forest Management Plan, which incorporates the changes discussed with Council at the Aug 5th meeting.

3. Alternatively, take other action related to this item.

DISCUSSION
Background
George Washington Park (GWP) is a 20-acre urban forest in the heart of Pacific Grove and home to the largest contiguous stand of Monterey pine (Pinus radiata) within the City. Monterey pine is listed as Endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature, with native occurrences at only five locations worldwide. The park provides critical habitat while also supporting active recreation, including a baseball field, play structures, trails, and picnic areas.

The original George Washington Park Master Plan was adopted in October 1999 and no longer reflects current ecological conditions, updated regulatory requirements, or modern best management practices. The Forest Management Plan is meant to supersede the forest management components of that Master Plan and to advance the General Plan goals of protecting biological resources, managing vegetation and wildlife habitat, and safeguarding endangered species.

In 2021 the City engaged a consultant to develop an updated Forest Management Plan. That draft was never adopted, but it made clear that the community wanted a more thorough biological assessment before any management decisions were made.

The assessment ran over 12 months and produced the Biological Resources Report by Denise Duffy and Associates (2024).

Staff then prepared the 2026 Plan, which pulls together findings from the 1999 Master Plan, the 2024 report, and other related documents into a single actionable framework. Along the way, conflicting stakeholder opinions on management strategies have periodically stalled consistent maintenance of the park.

Plan History and Council Direction
Staff presented the Draft Forest Management Plan to the BNRC on June 16, 2026. The BNRC and its George Washington Park Subcommittee provided comments and recommendations, and staff returned to the BNRC on July 21, 2026 with a matrix of those recommendations along with staff responses and anticipated actions.

The Draft Plan was then brought to Council on August 5, 2026. At that meeting, Council received the Draft Plan and gave direction to begin the September work under the existing draft while staff incorporated the discussed changes and returned with a revised plan for final adoption. This report fulfills that direction.

Ecological Conditions and Fire Risk
Four findings drive the need for active management: aging pine stands with limited regeneration, invasive species encroachment (French broom, Cape ivy, Sydney golden wattle, and non-native grasses), elevated fuel loads next to homes, and sensitive species that require careful work scheduling.

PGCC 10-21-26

Page 101 ends

GWP is not classified in Cal Fire's Fire Hazard Severity Zone map. Even so, the 2023 Community Wildfire Protection Plan identifies the park as a significant fire risk because of fuel accumulation and its proximity to residential structures.

Plan Framework
The Forest Management Plan is organized around three core priorities: Ecological Integrity, Public Safety, and Long-Term Sustainability. It supersedes the forest management components of the 1999 Master Plan and replaces them with updated best practices.

Seasonal Work Schedule
Plan activities are guided by a seasonal schedule built to protect sensitive species.

Primary window: September 1 to September 30, which falls outside monarch overwintering (October 1 to April 30), nesting bird season (February 1 to August 31), and bat maternity season (May to August).

Secondary window: March to May, when perimeter grass is mowed.

Emergency work: May be authorized by the City Urban Forester or the Director of Public Works.

Strategic Actions
The plan lays out the following techniques and practices for managing the park.

Vegetation and fuel management: Annual fuel reduction and dead tree removal, canopy lifting, grass mowing, and invasive plant removal, conducted each September or immediately if an emergency arises.

Forest habitat restoration: Native shrub and seedling planting, which can happen year round.

Wildlife protection: Where necessary, staff conduct pre-work biological surveys and install Yadon's rein orchid caging/ fencing before work begins, while respecting seasonal restrictions.

Practices not recommended: Based on prior Council and BNRC discussions, the plan rules out grazing (a viable tool if properly managed, but not recommended here), live tree removal other than confirmed hazard trees, pesticide use outside of City IPM guidelines, and heavy machinery for routine maintenance (with a Zone 1 exemption).

Labor and volunteer coordination: Work is expected to be carried out by the Green Cadre, the Cal Fire Gabilan Crew, City Public Works staff, and community volunteers.

Update on Work Performed: September 2026
The plan's primary work window runs September 1 to September 30, which falls outside monarch overwintering, nesting bird season, and bat maternity season. During that window, crews carried out wildfire mitigation, safety pruning, and trail maintenance across the park. The main focus was creating a 100-foot defensible space along residential borders and clearing the main trail network.

Park-wide activities
Defensible space: Crews mowed grass and removed low-hanging limbs up to 6 feet in height to eliminate ladder fuels near adjacent homes.

Hazard mitigation: Severely decayed dead trees and limbs were removed, or converted to upright wildlife snags where appropriate.

Trail maintenance: Debris was cleared, and the main trail was mowed across all zones to give a safe, clear walking path.

Work completed by zone
Zone 1: Raised the tree canopy near the barbecue fire pit, which improves fire safety and gives overhead clearance for vehicles on the gravel road. Cleared vegetation behind the baseball field fences to protect homes along 17 Mile Drive.

Maintained a minimum clearance width of 8 feet along the main trail.

Zone 2: Created a 100-foot buffer zone for homes along Melrose Street. Removed dead and hazardous trees and created wildlife snags near the main trail. Maintained 8 feet of trail clearance.

Zone 3: Created a 100-foot buffer zone for homes along Melrose Street. Removed dead and hazardous trees and created wildlife snags near the main trail. Maintained 8 feet of trail clearance, including at the Pine Street entrance.

Zone 4: Created a 100-foot buffer zone for homes along Melrose, Short, Pine, and Alder Streets. Removed dead and hazardous trees and created wildlife snags near both the main trail and neighboring homes. Maintained 8 feet of trail clearance.

Work remaining
Work accomplished was limited by timing and budget. Staff plans to return when possible to:

Continue management of invasive grass and other invasive species.

Finish the defensible space work along Alder Street between Pine Street and Sinex Avenue.

Clear the secondary paths. This year's effort focused on the main path through the middle of the park.

Finish clearing invasive species to complete the defensible space behind the17 Mile Drive houses near the ballpark.

Plant native trees and shrubs and control invasive plants.

1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This plan provides a comprehensive strategy for managing forest health, wildlife habitat, and wildfire risk in George Washington Park (GWP). It integrates findings from biological assessments, fire management plans, and field observations, aligning with CEQA guidance and council-adopted documents.

George Washington Park is approximately 20 acres of urban forest that represents the largest contiguous Monterey pine forest within the City of Pacific Grove. The park serves as an irreplaceable ecological resource providing habitat for rare and common flora and fauna, while also functioning as an active and passive recreational area for residents and visitors.

This plan addresses long-standing management gaps identified since the adoption of the 1999 George Washington Park Master Plan and establishes a clear, zone-based action framework. The three overarching priorities guiding all management decisions are:

Core Management Priorities
ECOLOGICAL INTEGRITY – Protect, preserve, and restore native forest and associated habitats
PUBLIC SAFETY – Reduce wildfire risk to the park and adjacent residential structures
LONG-TERM SUSTAINABILITY – Ensure the park remains a healthy, thriving urban forest for future generations
Key findings driving immediate action include: aging pine stands with limited regeneration, significant invasive species encroachment, elevated surface and ladder fuel loads near homes, and the presence of sensitive species requiring careful scheduling of management activities.

2. INTRODUCTION
Park Overview
George Washington Park (GWP) encompasses 20 acres in the heart of Pacific Grove, California. It contains the largest contiguous stand of Monterey pine (Pinus radiata) within city limits – a species classified as endangered in their native California range by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and found naturally in only five locations worldwide. The park provides irreplaceable ecological benefit including carbon sequestration, stormwater absorption, urban heat mitigation, and critical wildlife habitat.

The park supports active recreation (baseball, trails, picnicking, play structures, and open play areas) alongside passive recreation and nature observation. This dual-use character requires careful, zone-specific management to balance human enjoyment with the needs of the ecosystem.

History and Monarch Habitat
The 1999 George Washington Park Master Plan has guided management of the park since its adoption. In the City’s General Plan, GWP is designated as a Natural Resource, a Community Park, a Natural Area for Recreation, and Open Space.

GWP is a unique site for western monarch butterflies and is one of the few remaining native tree habitats for overwintering western monarchs. Monarchs have not utilized the site for overwintering in substantial numbers since 2006. Due to the historic presence of monarchs at the site and the habitat conditions, the 2024 Biological Resources Report found that the site could potentially support overwintering monarch butterflies in the future and that this species has a high potential for occurrence.

Background & Purpose
The 1999 GWP Master Plan, while foundational, requires updating to reflect current conditions, new scientific findings, evolving regulatory requirements, and accepted best management practices of urban forests. Since 1999, several supplemental plans and reports have been produced by qualified consultants addressing forest management, wildfire protection, and biological resources.

This plan seeks to review all existing plans and develop a consolidated summary with a defined action plan moving forward, in full compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Plan Objectives
This plan establishes a framework to achieve the following objectives:
• Reduce wildfire risk in the park and to surrounding homes within 100’ defensible space perimeter
• Restore forest health and protect habitat for native flora and fauna • Preserve the natural aesthetic of the park
• Address compounding impacts from soil compaction, drought, disease, and invasive species
• Ensure safe public access to park trails and facilities • Protect sensitive species including the federally endangered Yadon’s rein orchid (Platanthera yadonii, formerly Piperia yadonii), and monarch butterfly overwintering habitat
• Build a repeatable annual maintenance program that reduces treatment intensity over time

3. MANAGEMENT ZONES & PRIORITIES
GWP is divided into four management zones based on ecological sensitivity, fire risk, and use patterns. All zones are managed in service of the core management priorities. Each zone has distinct management focuses and treatment prescriptions. All zones also share a common obligation to implement Cal Fire defensible space fuel reduction within 100 feet of adjacent structures.

Zone 4 – Northwest Corner: Highest Priority
Zone 4 requires the most urgent attention. The northwest corner of the park contains dense accumulation of dead standing trees, downed logs and branches, and invasive surface fuels adjacent to residential structures. This combination of surface and ladder fuels creates conditions for rapid fire spread. Initial treatments should be concentrated here before moving to other zones.

Defensible Space Requirement (All Zones)
The Dudek-prepared Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) for Monterey, Carmel-by-the-Sea, and Pacific Grove (2023) states that fuel reduction is conducted annually within 100 feet of the homes surrounding the park. The “U”- shaped management strip generally measures 30 to 40 feet wide and runs from Gibson Avenue on the east, around the north end, to Melrose Drive on the west. It widens to 100 feet at the northwest corner, where homes back directly onto the park boundary. Vegetation management in this strip should adhere to CAL FIRE’s defensible space requirements, and the City will continue annual treatment consistent with the CWPP.

4. ECOLOGICAL CONDITIONS & FIRE RISK
Current Ecological Conditions
Monterey Pine Forest
The Monterey pine stands at GWP include trees ranging from 1–100+ years of age. Natural regeneration is significantly limited due to soil compaction, competition from other species, including invasive species, insect infestations, forest pathogens such as pitch canker, and the effects of prolonged drought. Without active intervention, the aging canopy will not be replaced by a self-sustaining younger cohort, threatening the long-term viability of the forest.

About Monterey Pine (Pinus radiata)
Monterey pine is listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List. Its native range is restricted to three mainland California locations (Ano Nuevo, Monterey Peninsula, Cambria) and two Mexican islands.

Pacific Grove’s urban Monterey pine forest is both locally irreplaceable and globally significant. All management decisions must weigh this context.

Invasive Species
Non-native invasive species represent one of the greatest threats to GWP’s ecological integrity and pine forest regeneration. Current infestations include, without limitation:
• Cape ivy (Delairea odorata) – Zones 3 & 4; smothers understory vegetation • Sydney golden wattle (Acacia longifolia) – Nitrogen-fixing; alters soil chemistry • French broom (Genista monspessulana) – Zone 2; highly flammable; prolific seed producer
• Lollipop tree (Hakea sericea) – Dense, highly flammable shrub • Pride of Madeira (Echium candicans) – Outcompetes native shrubs • Non-native annual grasses – All zones; primary surface fuel; creates fire-promoting thatch layer
PGCC 10-21-26

Wildfire Risk Assessment
GWP is not listed in Cal Fire’s 2025 Fire Hazard Severity Zone (FHSZ) map at the moderate, high, or very high tier. However, the 2023 Community Wildfire Protection Plan identifies the park as a significant fire risk due to fuel accumulation, structural interface proximity, and slope/aspect conditions. The discrepancy between the FHSZ map and on-the-ground conditions underscores the need for this plan’s proactive approach.

Fire Hazard Summary
Cal Fire FHSZ Designation: Not classified as moderate, high, or very high (2025) Community Wildfire Protection Plan (2023): Identifies GWP as significant fire risk Primary fuel concern: Dense dead wood piles and invasive grass near homes (surface fuels)
Secondary concern: Ladder fuels linking surface fuels to tree canopy Priority action area: Northwest corner (Zone 4) adjacent to residential properties Best Time of Year for Work
Mid-September through early October represents the optimal window for management activities. This period avoids the monarch butterfly overwintering season (Oct 1 – Apr 30), the nesting bird season (Feb 1 – Aug 31), and bat maternity season (May – Aug) providing a short window of time for invasive species work before the onset of winter rains.

Primary Work Window Detail: Sept 1 –Sept 30
This month-long window is the recommended focus period for intensive work. The following activities may proceed without biological surveys during this period:
• Remove small dead and hazard trees (chip, scatter, or retain as snag) • Create wildlife snags from large dead trees requiring removal for safety • Remove invasive shrubs and vines (French broom, Cape ivy, Sydney golden wattle) • Begin site preparation for late-fall native shrub planting Secondary Work Window: Spring (March – May)
Spring treatments focus on invasive species removal before seed set, which is critical to reducing the following year’s fuel load and weed pressure. Note: All spring work requires preconstruction nesting bird surveys if occurring before September 1. • Mow invasive annual grasses to 4” height before seed set • Remove French broom before seed pods mature
• Cape ivy cutting and removal from tree trunks in Zones 3 & 4 Emergency Work: As Needed
Emergency work may be authorized outside of the primary and secondary windows when conditions require immediate action to protect public safety or prevent significant ecological harm. All emergency work must be approved in advance by the City Urban Forester or Director of Public Works. When feasible, a qualified biologist shall be consulted prior to work commencing, particularly if sensitive species or their habitat may be affected.

Emergency work may include:
 Removal of hazard trees or large limbs posing an imminent risk to park users, trails, or adjacent structures
 Response to storm damage, windthrow, or sudden structural failure of standing trees  Emergency fuel reduction in response to an elevated fire weather watch or red flag warning
 Containment of rapidly spreading invasive species infestations threatening to overwhelm sensitive habitat

6. STRATEGIC ACTIONS
The following prescribed actions are organized by management category. All work shall be conducted with hand crews and walk-behind equipment when feasible. Large wheeled or tracked machinery shall be used only when necessary, as specified.

6.1 Vegetation & Fuel Management / Fire Hazard Reduction These actions target the park’s highest fire risk areas and are the most time-sensitive given the residential interface. Annual repetition will shift from intensive initial treatment to lighter maintenance over time.
• Remove small dead trees within 100’ of homes (chip on-site, scatter, or retain as wildlife snag)
• Raise canopy by removing dead branches and live branches of 4” or less diameter to achieve 6-10’ overhead clearance. Live limbs of 4” or more diameter will not be removed.
• Mow invasive grasses to 4” height or less; repeat at appropriate seasonal intervals to reduce invasive grasses
• Remove invasive plants and vines
• Scatter concentrations of downed logs on-site to reduce fuel bed depth

6.2 Forest Habitat Restoration
Interior forest restoration focuses on Zones 2–4, away from the Cal Fire defensible space perimeter. The goal is to re-establish a self-sustaining, multi-aged Monterey pine forest with a native shrub understory.
• Remove non-native invasive plants preferably using hand crews and hand tools • Plant native shrubs including: toyon (Heteromeles arbutifolia), coffeeberry (Frangula californica), ceanothus (Ceanothus spp.), currant (Ribes spp.). Note: Native shrubs planted within 100’ of structures shall be spaced and maintained in accordance with Cal Fire defensible space guidance
• Identify and protect Monterey pine seedling regeneration sites; cage if necessary • Apply coarse wood chips from non-diseased trees around new plantings to suppress weeds and retain soil moisture
• Retain high-value wildlife snags (topped dead trees) for bat roost and cavity-nesting bird habitat
• Use downed healthy logs to establish a controlled trail system that minimizes soil compaction and root damage
PGCC 10-21-26

Page 115 ends

George Washington Park – Forest Management Plan City of Pacific Grove | 2026 FINAL DRAFT Page 13 of 18

6.3 Wildlife Protection
• Retain viable wildlife snags (dead topped trees) for bat and bird habitat - do not remove unless posing an imminent hazard
• Create naturalistic wildlife snags whenever possible, mimicking natural fractures rather than smooth, flat cuts
• Conduct pre-work biological surveys by a qualified biologist as required by seasonal schedule
• Avoid all work during monarch overwintering, nesting bird, and bat maternity seasons as required
• Mark and fence off Yadon’s rein orchid populations during work periods

6.4 What Will NOT Be Done
The following practices are not planned to be utilized under this plan:
• No grazing by goats, cows, or other ruminants
• No removal of live trees unless they present an imminent safety hazard or are confirmed diseased/dying by a qualified arborist
• No removal of native shrubs or plant species unless required for fire risk reduction within the defensible space perimeter or for maintenance of established trails • No use of large wheeled or tracked machinery for routine maintenance; hand work and small walk-behind equipment whenever possible
• No use of herbicides, fungicides, pesticides, or rodenticides, except as a last resort in accordance with the City of Pacific Grove Integrated Pest Management Guidelines

6.5 Labor & Volunteer Coordination
• Prioritize zone-by-zone implementation
• Use hand crews and walk-behind equipment
• Coordinate with City Urban Forester and City Public Works crews for scheduling and access
• Engage with Green Cadre (Monterey County youth conservation program), Cal Fire Gabilan Crew, and other contracted and volunteer work crews • City staff will guide volunteers and contractors to ensure all work follows the Plan, including its zone prescriptions, species protections, and seasonal work schedules. • Volunteers and contractors will not plant or perform any work outside the scope of the Plan or without prior coordination with City staff.

George Washington Park – Forest Management Plan City of Pacific Grove | 2026 FINAL DRAFT Page 17 of 18

10. CONCLUSION
George Washington Park is one of Pacific Grove’s most treasured natural assets, a living forest that connects residents to the ecological heritage of the Monterey Peninsula. At 20 acres, it harbors rare Monterey pine in their native range, provides habitat for a federally endangered orchid and monarch butterflies, and creates a green refuge at the center of a dense residential community.

This Comprehensive Forest Management Plan provides a strategic, science-based framework to use current best management practices to address the park’s most pressing challenges: wildfire risk to adjacent homes, invasive species encroachment, aging pine stands with limited regeneration, and the need for careful coordination with sensitive wildlife species.

The zone-based approach allows the City to direct limited resources to the highest-priority areas first: beginning with Zone 4’s elevated fire risk, while building toward a park-wide restoration program that will improve long term ecological health. The seasonal work calendar and wildlife protection protocols ensure that restoration and safety goals are met responsibly.

Ongoing monitoring, consistent annual maintenance, and continued community engagement will be essential to this plan’s success. The City of Pacific Grove has the opportunity to model responsible urban forest stewardship that serves both people and nature for generations to come.

GWP is a unique site for western monarch butterflies and is one of the few remaining native tree habitats for overwintering western monarchs. Monarchs have not utilitzed the site for overwintering in substantial numbers since 2006. Due to the historic presence of monarchs at the site and the habitat conditions, the 2024 Biological Resources Report found that the site could potentially support overwintering monarch butterflies in the future and that this species has a high potential for occurrence.

This plan seeks to review all existing plans and develop a consolidated summary with a defined action plan moving forward, in full compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Plan Objectives
This plan establishes a framework to achieve the following objectives:
• Reduce wildfire risk in the park and to surrounding homes within 100’ defensible space perimeter
PGCC 10-21-26

Page 125 ends

George Washington Park – Forest Management Plan City of Pacific Grove | 2026 DRAFT – For Review and Comment Page 5 of 18
• Restore forest health and protect habitat for native flora and fauna • Preserve the natural aesthetic of the park
• Address compounding impacts from soil compaction, drought, disease, and invasive species
• Ensure safe public access to park trails and facilities • Protect sensitive species including Yadon’s rein orchid Platanthera yadonii, formerly Piperia yadonii, piperia (a federally endangered orchid) and monarch butterfly overwintering habitat
• Build a repeatable annual maintenance program that reduces treatment intensity over time

3. MANAGEMENT ZONES & PRIORITIES
GWP is divided into four management zones based on ecological sensitivity, fire risk, and use patterns. All zones are managed in service of the core management priorities. Each zone has distinct management priorities focuses and treatment prescriptions. All zones also share a common obligation to implement Cal Fire defensible space fuel reduction within 100 feet of adjacent structures.

Zone Primary Focus Key Notes
Zone 1 Trail safety; poison oak control;
invasive annual grass reduction
Active recreation area; highest
public use
Zone 2
Yadon’s piperia rein orchid
protection; French broom and
invasive species removal

George Washington Park – Forest Management Plan City of Pacific Grove | 2026 DRAFT – For Review and Comment Page 6 of 18
Zone 4 requires the most urgent attention. The northwest corner of the park contains dense accumulation of dead standing trees, downed logs and branches, and invasive surface fuels adjacent to residential structures. This combination of surface and ladder fuels creates conditions for rapid fire spread. Initial treatments should be concentrated here before moving to other zones.

Defensible Space Requirement (All Zones)
The Dudek-prepared Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) for Monterey, Carmelby-the-Sea, and Pacific Grove (2023) states that fuel reduction is conducted annually within 100 feet of the homes surrounding the park. The “U”-shaped management strip generally measures 30 to 40 feet wide and runs from Gibson Avenue on the east, around the north end, to Melrose Drive on the west. It widens to 100 feet at the northwest corner, where homes back directly onto the park boundary. Vegetation management in this strip should adhere to CAL FIRE’s defensible space requirements, and the City will continue annual treatment consistent with the CWPP.

Per the Dudek Wildfire Protection Plan, fuel reduction activities must be conducted annually within 100 feet of homes surrounding the park. This “U-shaped” management strip runs from Gibson Avenue on the east, around the north end, to the 17 Mile Drive / Melrose Drive intersection on the west. The strip widens to 100 feet at the NW corner where homes back directly onto the park boundary. Vegetation management in this strip must adhere to CAL FIRE’s defensible space requirements.

4. ECOLOGICAL CONDITIONS & FIRE RISK
Current Ecological Conditions
Monterey Pine Forest
The Monterey pine stands at GWP include trees ranging from 1–100+ years of age. Natural regeneration is significantly limited due to soil compaction from recreational use, competition from other species, including invasive species, insect infestations, forest pathogens such as pitch canker, and the effects of prolonged drought. Without active intervention, the aging canopy will not be replaced by a self-sustaining younger cohort, threatening the long-term viability of the forest.

Pacific Grove’s urban Monterey pine forest is both locally irreplaceable and globally significant. All management decisions must weigh this context.

Page 129 ends

George Washington Park – Forest Management Plan City of Pacific Grove | 2026 DRAFT – For Review and Comment Page 9 of 18
Wildfire Risk Assessment
GWP is not listed in Cal Fire’s 2025 Fire Hazard Severity Zone (FHSZ) map at the moderate, high, or very high tier. However, the 2023 Community Wildfire Protection Plan identifies the park as a significant fire risk due to fuel accumulation, structural interface proximity, and slope/aspect conditions. The discrepancy between the FHSZ map and on-the-ground conditions underscores the need for this plan’s proactive approach.

Fire Hazard Summary
Cal Fire FHSZ Designation: Not classified as moderate, high, or very high (2025) Community Wildfire Protection Plan (2023): Identifies GWP as significant fire risk Primary fuel concern: Dense dead wood piles and invasive grass near homes (surface fuels)
Secondary concern: Ladder fuels linking surface fuels to tree canopy Priority action area: Northwest corner (Zone 4) adjacent to residential properties Best Time of Year for Work
Mid-September through early October represents the optimal window for all management activities. This period avoids the monarch butterfly overwintering season (Oct 1 – Apr 30), the nesting bird season (Feb 1 – Sept 1Aug 31), and bat maternity season (May – Aug) providing a short window of time for invasive species work before the onset of winter rains.

Primary Work Window Detail: Sept 1 – Oct 1Sept 30
This month longmonth-long window is the recommended focus period for intensive work. The following activities may proceed without biological surveys during this period:
• Remove small dead and hazard trees (chip, scatter, or retain as snag) • Create wildlife snags from large dead trees requiring removal for safety • Remove invasive shrubs and vines (French broom, Cape ivy, Sydney golden wattle) • Begin site preparation for late-fall native shrub planting Secondary Work Window: Spring (March – May)
Spring treatments focus on invasive species removal before seed set, which is critical to reducing the following year’s fuel load and weed pressure. Note: All spring work requires preconstruction nesting bird surveys if occurring before September 1. • Mow invasive annual grasses to 4” height before seed set • Remove French broom before seed pods mature
• Cape ivy cutting and removal from tree trunks in Zones 3 & 4 Emergency Work: As Needed
Emergency work may be authorized outside of the primary and secondary windows when conditions require immediate action to protect public safety or prevent significant ecological harm. All emergency work must be approved in advance by the City Urban Forester or Director of Public Works. When feasible, a qualified biologist shall be consulted prior to work commencing, particularly if sensitive species or their habitat may be affected.

6.1 Vegetation & Fuel Management / Fire Hazard Reduction These actions target the park’s highest fire risk areas and are the most time-sensitive given the residential interface. Annual repetition will shift from intensive initial treatment to lighter maintenance over time.
• Remove small dead trees within 100’ of homes (chip on-site, scatter, or retain as wildlife snag)
• Raise canopy by removing dead branches and live branches of 4” or less diameter to achieve 6-10’ overhead clearance. Live limbs of 4” or less more diameter will not be removed.
• Mow invasive grasses to 4” height or less; repeat at appropriate seasonal intervals to reduce invasive grasses
• Remove invasive plants and vines (e.g. Cape ivy)
• Scatter concentrations of downed logs on-site to reduce fuel bed depth

6.2 Forest Habitat Restoration
Interior forest restoration focuses on Zones 2–4, away from the Cal Fire defensible space perimeter. The goal is to re-establish a self-sustaining, multi-aged Monterey pine forest with a native shrub understory.
• Remove non-native invasive plants preferably using hand crews and hand tools • Plant native shrubs including: toyon (Heteromeles arbutifolia), coffeeberry (Frangula californica), ceanothus (Ceanothus spp.), currant (Ribes spp.). Note: Native shrubs shall NOT be planted within 100’ of structures per Cal Fire defensible space guidelines.Native shrubs planted within 100’ of structures shall be spaced and maintained in accordance with Cal Fire defensible space guidance. • Identify, flag, and protect Monterey pine seedling regeneration sites; cage if necessary • Apply coarse wood chips from non-diseased trees around new plantings to suppress weeds and retain soil moisture
• Retain high-value wildlife snags (topped dead trees) for bat roost and cavity-nesting bird habitat
• Use downed healthy logs to establish a controlled trail system that minimizes soil compaction and root damage
PGCC 10-21-26

Page 133 ends

George Washington Park – Forest Management Plan City of Pacific Grove | 2026 DRAFT – For Review and Comment Page 13 of 18

6.3 Wildlife Protection
• Retain all viable wildlife snags (dead topped trees) for bat and bird habitat - do not remove unless posing an imminent hazard
• Create naturalistic wildlife snags whenever possible, mimicking natural fractures rather than smooth, flat cuts
• Conduct pre-work biological surveys by a qualified biologist as required by seasonal schedule
• Avoid all work during monarch overwintering, nesting bird, and bat maternity seasons as required
• Mark and fence off Yadon’s piperia rein orchid populations in Zone 2 during all work periods

6.4 What Will NOT Be Done
The following practices are not planned to be utilized explicitly prohibited under this plan:
• No grazing by goats, cows, or other ruminants
• No removal of live trees unless they present an imminent safety hazard or are confirmed diseased/dying by a qualified arborist
• No removal of native shrubs or plant species unless required for fire risk reduction within the defensible space perimeter or for maintenance of established trails • No use of large wheeled or tracked machinery for routine maintenance; hand work and small walk-behind equipment whenever possible
• No use of herbicides, fungicides, pesticides, or rodenticides of any kind, except as a last resort in accordance with the City of Pacific Grove Integrated Pest Management Guidelines

6.5 Labor & Volunteer Coordination
• Prioritize zone-by-zone implementation
• Use hand crews and walk-behind equipment only
• Coordinate with City Urban Forester and City Public Works crews for scheduling and access
• Engage with Green Cadre (Monterey County youth conservation program), Cal Fire Gabilan Crew, and other contracted and volunteer work crews • City staff will guide volunteers and contractors to ensure all work follows the Plan, including its zone prescriptions, species protections, and seasonal work schedules. • Volunteers and contractors will not plant or perform any work outside the scope of the Plan or without prior coordination with City staff.

BNRC Recommendations and Staff Responses
George Washington Park Forest Management Plan# BNRC Recommendation/Comment Staff Response Action1 • BNRC supports a balanced management plan–wildfire risk prevention/mitigation strategies with native plant/tree forest and wildlife habitat restoration utilizing biological findings and additional background information to strengthen the plan The current draft plan reflects this balanced approach. No change needed 2 • GWP is to be recognized, protected, and preserved as a 20-acre recreational park and Monterey Pine forest (the biological assessment identified the forest as predominantly Monterey Pine) to prevent further degradation/fragmentationion.

This recognition is already reflected in the draft plan. No change needed 3 • All regulations must apply to all 20 acres (zones should be used as references for practical purposes only).

Certain regulations are not feasible to apply to recreation zone, such as limitaitons on heavy equipment.

Will adapt langauge when feasible, with some exemptions for rec zone. 4 • Determine if the plan will “supersede” 1999 Master Plan–due in part to concerns the draft lacked sufficient history, continuity, from other important reports, in particular the 1999 Master Plan and 2024 Biological Resources Assessment Report findings: o Expand upon the history of the park, and provide additional forest ecology and biodiversity findings to include its butterfly overwintering habitat —recognizing its global, regional, and local significance, and include:
▪ GWP is “a unique site for California monarchs; it is one of the few remaining Monterey pine/live oak habitats for monarchs”
▪ “Due to the historic presence of overwintering monarch butterflies at the site and the habitat conditions, the site could potentially support overwintering monarch butterflies in the future and therefore this species has a high potential for occurrence” o Include GWP’s designation in the City’s General Plan as a:
▪ Natural Resource▪ Community Park–Natural Area for recreation▪ Open Space Staff will add historical content and monarch habitat background, verify General Plan designation language. Staff supports “supersede” as the appropriate framing relative to the 1999 Master Plan.

Add content and designations.
5 • Carry forward the 1999 Master Plan goal to preserve the natural aesthetic of park to “retain and enhance the existing character of the park”
Staff supports language “preserve the natural aesthetic of park”. Referencing the existing of the character of the park is somewhat vague and the existing character will change, currently it is overgrown and unsustainable. Management Plan seeks to be more objective with scientific approaches.

Revisit language to include “retain and enhance the existing character of the park”. 6 • Strengthen reforestation and wildlife habitat restoration efforts by including all zones throughout the park. For example, biological findings include: o Avian surveys found abundant songbird activity throughout all areas of GWP–including Zone 1 o Raptors and other nesting birds could potentially utilize a wide variety of locations to construct nests throughout GWP Staff supports certain efforts to be explicitly stated as applying to all zones, including avian protections.

Revisit zone language.

PGCC 10-21-26

# BNRC Recommendation/Comment Staff Response Action
7 • Address monarch habitat restoration beyond Zone 3 (monarchs have the potential to cluster in any zone) and provide additional background information: o Historic presence of overwintering monarch butterflies at the site o Scientific findings–monarchs have a “high potential for occurrence” o Restore tree canopy/windbreak losses, prioritizing the south and west of the historical habitat area o As a City owned property GWP provides a 20-acre opportunity to restore and expand habitat–to mitigate impacts from tree losses on privately owned property and neighboring sanctuary properties (Creekside noted the significance of a 2022 Monarch Sanctuary incident where a neighbor removed a windbreak tree on their private property). IMPORTANT: the City has only two monarch sanctuaries Staff supports certain efforts to be explicitly stated as applying to all zones, including monarch habitat restoration efforts.

Revisit zone language.
8 • Strike language regarding using herbicides, pesticides, rodenticides, etc. “as a last resort”rt.” Staff is supportive of striking language and replacing with a reference to the Integrated Pest Management Guidelines.

Update language.
9 • Include interpretive park signage–serves to inform and educate visitors, and to protect natural resources (please kindly stay on trails, restoration in progress, habitat restoration, no bicycles/e-bikes, etc.) Not appropriate for forest management plan. Separate operational issue.

No action.
10 • Prohibit open flames within the park (add signage) and remove BBQ grill o California no longer has a traditional “fire season” and has instead transitioned to a “fire year” due to climate change extending dangerous conditions to all 12 months; and daily risk changes based on the weather o The 1999 Master Plan Fire Management Guidelines:
▪ “The key to fire management in an urban forest setting is to control the field within the forest and to provide adequate safeguards against the introduction of fire from outside the park.” ▪ “During times of critical fire danger, prohibiting fires of any kind “within the park as conditions warrant” may be necessary • California’s fire season has lengthened, and fires are possible throughout the year, including winter months, as a result of climate change ▪ Prohibit parking in grasses adjacent to park borders without curbs to prevent catalytic converter ignited fires (use boulders, felled logs, curbs, to keep vehicles off these areas) ▪ Coordinate with PG&E regarding powerline/transformer vegetation management▪ Note: “Fire” is already prohibited on GWP “Park Rules and Regulations” signs Fire is already prohibited under park rules and regulations with limited exeptions, and enforcement is an operational matter. PG&E vegetation coordination is already occurring and does not require plan language. Physical parking barriers would create a maintenance issue, are a traffic concern, and not a managmenent techniquelan.

No action.
11 • Create “naturalistic” wildlife snags, when possible–to mimic natural fractures, preventing premature rot from pooling water, and providing realistic perches and nesting foundations rather than a smooth, unnatural flat surface Staff supports creating naturalistic snags whenever possible. Incorporate language in plan. 12 Add “preserve” to the Ecological Integrity goal (protect, preserve, and restore), consistent with the 1999 Master Plan.

Staff is supportive of adding “preserve” to language. Somewhat subjective, preserve in what state? Incorporate language in plan.

PGCC 10-21-26

# BNRC Recommendation/Comment Staff Response Action
13 • CALFIRE defensible space requirements do not require clearing all vegetation within 100 feet of structures. Appropriate maintenance and spacing of native shrubs is necessary to maintain a healthy understory/ground cover along with tree trimming. As such, remove language: “not planting native shrubs within 100 feet of structures” o 100-Foot Defensible Space–CALFIRE divides the 100-foot perimeter into 3 zones, each with progressive restrictions o Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI)—where houses blend directly into natural forests and brushlands—managing vegetation is not about scraping the earth bare. Rather, it focuses on breaking up “fuel continuity” so that a fast-moving wildland fire cannot easily transition into a destructive structure fire.

Staff supports updating language to align with CALFIRE defensible space guidance.

Revise language.
14 Include native tree stock under Resource Needs. Staff supports this addition. Update resource needs.15 • Identify Yadon’s piperia (orchid) as federally endangered instead of threatened throughout the draft and remove zone specific language that could limit its protection since it has the potential to be found in any zone of the park, especially as forest conditions improve: o Mark and fence off Yadon’s piperia populations in Zone 2 during all work periods o P14 #1 Yadon’s Piperia: Weekly monitoring during active growth season (May–August) in Zones 2–4 The status correction will be made and zone-specific language revised. Weekly monitoring in the entirety of zones 2-4 is not feasible with available resources. Pre-work monitoring is feasible.

Update status, revisit zone language and monitoring plan. 16 • Include additional strategies to address soil compaction:
o The 1999 Master Plan states, “Trail improvements in all zones should be prioritized to protect sensitive areas by reducing soil compaction and root damage” ▪ Establish a controlled trail system to minimize soil compaction and root damage that have been caused by: • 1. visitor use (pedestrian and bicycle traffic) • 2. the impact of rain on bare mineral soil o Bicycles are currently prohibited in Zones 2-4 (although there’s no signage). “Motorized vehicles” are also prohibited according to GWP “Park Rules and Regulations” signs. Update the plan to prohibit bicycles (to include e-bikes/e-motorcycles, etc. as there are various legal classifications) in all zones and post signage at entrances o Mark trails with downed/felled healthy logs, mulch, and add signage reminding visitors to stay on designated trails Staff could not find any ordinance prohibiting bikes, other than Class 3 E-bikes, from any section of George Washington Park. Implementing such a prohibition would require an ordinance change. Staff agrees with using logs to establish controlled trail system to minimise soil compaction.

Incorporate in part
17 • Revise Bibliography to add any additional relevant documents, sources, and include/remove the following: o Creekside Science Reports (include) o CALFIRE Hazard Map (include) o Dudek 2022 FMP (remove) Staff does not support removing all reference to the Dudek 2022 FMP, as it contains relevant information, is part of the public record and path toward subsequents plans, and the draft explicitly states it was not adopted. Staff supports a reference to the CalFire Hazard Map and the Creekside Monarch Grove Sanctuary Managment Plan, but not every annual update.

Update Bibliography in part.

# BNRC Recommendation/Comment Staff Response Action
18 • Consider proposing the perimeter fire break trail concept recommended by the BNRC (Feb 2025) in conjunction with the updated forest management plan for Council consideration–to determine if it’s something Council would like staff to explore/research CALFIRE Wildfire Prevention Grants, or other grant funding for the project: o Perimeter Fire Break Trail Concept: Create a natural walking/jogging recreational trail around the perimeter of the 20-acre urban forest to serve as a fuel break (defensible space) for surrounding neighborhoods. The proposed nature trail would be in what is known as the “mow” zone, to reduce perimeter fuels by eliminating tall grasses/weeds. The path would be made from decomposed granite (DG), a natural material that is permeable. The trail would naturally shift around trees and native plants in the pathway to protect to maintain the natural character of the park while increasing recreational opportunities for residents and visitors, especially for individuals with varying levels of disabilities that may have difficulty hiking the interior, more uneven trails. Trees within the perimeter pathway management zone would also be pruned to the minimum vertical clearance Staff does not support including this in Forest Management Plan. There is a Council Protocol for BCC originated recommendations to the City Council.

No action.
19 • Identify what zone(s)/fuels reductions will be prioritized and costs when presenting plan to Council Staff can provide rough cost estimates based on past work. Incorporate in future management plan presentations.
20 • Create social media/outreach campaigns to inform the public regarding planned maintenance work, no smoking/fires, promote hardening of homes, all of us are in this together messaging! Outreach will be conducted separately from the plan. No action.

Agenda No. 13 A

CITY OF PACIFIC GROVE
300 Forest Avenue, Pacific Grove, California 93950
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM: Cynthia Garfield, Councilmember, Tina Rau, Councilmember MEETING DATE: October 21, 2026
SUBJECT: Visitor Impact Mitigation - Revenue Options
CEQA: Does not constitute a Project per California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines Section 15378

RECOMMENDATION
Direct the City Manager, in consultation with the Administrative Services Director and City Attorney, to evaluate legally available and administratively feasible revenue options that would help offset City costs associated with tourism and tourist impacts, and return to the City Council with findings, options, and recommended next steps.

DISCUSSION
Tourism supports local businesses, employment, and is closely associated with the City’s identity. However, visitor activity increases demand for public safety, street and sidewalk maintenance, traffic management, parking operations, parks, beaches and open space, and public restrooms.

This referral asks City staff to not only quantify existing impacts and existing visitor-generated revenues, but to also identify and evaluate additional revenue raising tools that could help maintain or improve service levels for residents, businesses, and visitors. The requested analysis should also distinguish between measures that recover the cost of particular impacts, and broader measures such as taxes (which require voter approval).

Examples of Revenue Raising Options:

Taxes – Examples, include modifying the current transient occupancy tax, special taxes, and transaction and use tax.

Service Fees - Cost-based user fees connected to parking, citations, special events, permits, curb use, sanitation, recreation, or use of public facilities, supported by appropriate cost-of-service analysis.

Development Impact Fees – Fees imposed on developers to mitigate the impact of their development on City resources, supported by appropriate cost-of-service analysis.

Subventions - Grants, sponsorships, concessions, and other non-tax revenues.

Interagency Agreements – Working with neighboring jurisdictions with similar visitor impacts.

OPTIONS

1. Direct the City Manager, in consultation with the Administrative Services Director and City Attorney, to evaluate legally available and administratively feasible revenue options that would help offset City costs associated with tourism and tourist impacts, and return to the City Council with findings, options, and recommended next steps.

2. Decline to direct the proposed evaluation.

3. Provide alternative direction.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

There is no fiscal impact related to this item other than staff time and any consultants that would be retained. Should the Council adopt additional or revised revenue raising options in the future, the increased revenue would go toward mitigating visitor impacts on City resources.
