Action: Removed from Consent; discussed; and adopted Ordinance No. 3552
Senior Associate Planner Bennett presented the staff report, addressing Councilmember
Haffa's question regarding staff's recommendation on amending the noise ordinance, impacts
to future development, and view impacts. Councilmember Haffa said that he would like to
agendize the noise aspects. Councilmember Smith suggested stronger language regarding the
view impacts. Councilmember Haffa suggested adding language such as, "protecting views is a
principal objective of the City Council in drafting this ordinance.”
Mayor Roberson opened public comment on the item. Nina Beety said that the industry plans to
install cells every 50 to 500 meters and the CEQA exemption is inappropriate. She said federal
law does not preempt local control and nothing prevents the City from banning these facilities.
She said this is a new barrier to the EMS disabled. She asked Council to reject the ordinance
as written. With no further requests to speak, Mayor Roberson closed public comments.
On question, City Attorney Davi clarified that staff's objective has been to regulate these
facilities to the fullest extent possible under federal statutes. Tripp May, Special Counsel, said
that both state and federal law allows the City to consider cumulative impacts on a case-by-
case basis. Ms. Davi said that the ordinance as drafted will sufficiently and adequately address
the stated concerns.
It was moved by Councilmember Downey to adopt Ordinance No. 3552, M.C.C. Section 38-
112.4 Personal Wireless Service Facilities to reflect changes in cellular technology.
Councilmember Downey amended her motion to include the language in the “whereas” section
that the intent of this ordinance is to protect views, noise and quality of life in the ordinance, and
Mr. Smith seconded the motion.
Mr. May suggested approving the ordinance as written, with the intent and direction to staff to
bring it back with the added language in Section A.1, "Purpose.”
Councilmember Downey amended her motion to adopt Ordinance 3552 as written, and direct
staff to bring it back to Council at a future meeting with an amended Section A.1 to include the
language regarding intent, and the seconder agreed. The motion carried by the following vote:

CONTINUED PUBLIC COMMENTS

faster and less expensive. Marlene Fischer agreed with the previous speaker. David Beech
agreed that the proposed pipeline would be a huge disruption to the City of Monterey and
outlined a suggested procedure to study and implement the reverse-ASR alternative.

City Council Minutes Tuesday, October 18, 2016
Sandra Collingwood, Monterey resident, asked the Council to look into the water pipeline issue.
Michael Baer, Monterey resident, said that it is not too late to study the reverse-ASR proposal.
George Riley supported Mr. Cech's proposal and gave some background on the water project,
suggesting that Council write letters to ESA asking that the reverse pipeline proposal be
considered, the Governance Committee asking them to reconsider their decision to conduct
value engineering on the pipeline, and to the Mayors’ Water Authority asking if they will support
a value engineering study.
Jim Morgan thanked the Police Department for helping with the parking situation on Ramona,
and he asked for parking enforcement two days per week. Dick Router supported Mr. Cech's
proposal and comments. Bob Evans, New Monterey resident, said that CalAm's pipeline route
is going to tear up New Monterey. He supported the reverse-ASR proposal. Larry Parrish,
Carmel Valley resident, said that all of the rate payers will have to pay for the pipeline, and this
project is all about money for CalAm. Dan Turner said that the CalAm pipeline is a boondoggle
and is intended to make money for them. He asked Council to have an engineering study done.
Susie Gaffie, Pacific Grove, supported Mr. Cech and expressed disappointment that he did not
have longer to speak. Chris Cook, Engineer with CalAm water, clarified that his company has
regular joint meetings with all utilities and cities and are potholing right now in order to make
sure they have located all utilities. He said that part of the conditions of the permit requires that
all agencies be notified and regularly updated, which will ease emergency access. He said that
there is less friction loss in a 36 inch pipe and the existing pipe is not large enough. He said that
CalAm is sensitive to tearing up streets multiple times and they are coordinating with cities on
that aspect. He said that the proposed pipeline will be able to use an existing distribution
system.
Rich Smeland, CalAm Water Company, said that the current route was derived from
discussions with public agencies. He said that the existing pipeline is 16-inches and not large
enough for this project. June Stein spoke about the dangers of distracted driving and asked that
laws be changed. She said that her daughter was killed in an accident with a distracted driver
Jill Johnson Villa Del Monte voiced concerns regarding an emergency shelter being built in her
neighborhood, and she asked Council to consider a commercial area for this use. Having no
further requests to speak, Mayor Roberson closed public comments.
