PRESENTATIONS
1. Cal Am Presentation on Monterey Pipeline and Highway 68 Bridge Projects (Not a Project
under CEQA per Article 20, Section 15378 and under General Rule Article 5, Section 15061)
(Plans & Public Works - 706-01)
Action: Received presentation
City Manager McCarthy introduced Acting Public Works Director Wittry, who presented
background regarding the pipeline. Chris Cook, Assistant Engineering Manager for CalAm,
gave the presentation and answered Councilmembers' questions.
Mayor Roberson opened public comment on the item. Tom Rowley recited some history
regarding traffic in the Highway 68 and Highway 1 area, and said that the former traffic
committee would be very satisfied with the current design. Mike Brassfield said that this is a
large project that is needed and CalAm is doing a great job. He suggested that the City and
CalAm hold a "Lessons Learned" meeting with the neighbors.
Mike Baer, Monterey resident, said that the presentation was somewhat reassuring, but he
asked how confident CalAm is that the structure would hold up during a 100-year seismic
event. He asked if there is a shut-off valve and suggested that putting the pipe underground
would solve these issues. He asked about the cost for the project.
Rick Heuer noted that the pipeline is being built to Cal Trans earthquake standards, so if it fails
every other bridge in the state will fail. John Narigi, Coalition of Peninsula Businesses, spoke in
support of the project and said that CalAm has answered all of the questions. He said that the
Coalition would hope that the Council supports the project. With no further requests to speak,
Mayor Roberson closed public comments.
Mr. Cook said that isolation valves are placed along the pipeline, so if the bridge went down the
water could be shut off and water would continue to be available to the customers. He said that
overall, CalAm is tracking well on the project costs and aiming to hit the budget target. Jung
Kuen, AE Com Design Engineer, addressed the question of earthquake safety and reviewed
the engineering specifications.

PUBLIC HEARING
23. 1st Reading – M.C.C. Section 38-11 Amendment to Add Definition for Emergency Shelter; and
to Add Article 16B to Create a New Emergency (Homeless) Shelter Overlay Zoning District to
Permit Emergency (Homeless) Shelters Meeting Specific Operational and Management
Requirements by Right; and Apply the Overlay Zone to Certain Properties Zoned Industrial (IR),
Commercial Office (CO) Except for Properties Located on El Dorado Between Major Sherman
Lane and Mesa Road; Community Commercial (C-2) Except for the Del Monte Center, and
Properties Fronting Wave Street and Foam Street; General Commercial (C-3) Between Dela
Vina and Highway One, Planned Community Lighthouse (PC-L) Except for Parcels Fronting
Lighthouse Avenue, Planned Community-North Fremont (PC-NF) Except for Parcels Fronting
North Fremont, Planned Community-Downtown (PC-D) Except for Properties Fronting Alvarado
and Calle Principal and Properties Within the Royal Presidio, Heritage, Island of the Adobes,
and Recreation Character Areas (Exempt from CEQA per Article 19, Section 15305 and
15061(b)(3)) (Plans & Public Works - 701-11)
Action: Passed Ordinance to print
Mayor Roberson introduced the item, and Principal Planner Caraker presented the staff report
and answered Councilmembers' questions.
Mayor Roberson opened the Public Hearing. Josene McCoe, Del Monte Neighborhood, said
that the Planning Commission's deliberative process was exemplary and they balanced various
important needs. She urged Council to adopt the proposal fully and without change and
expressed her appreciation to the City for listening to concerns. Stan Cook, Villa Del Monte,
agreed with the previous speaker, saying that the Planning Commission did an excellent job.
He proposed paring back the 300 recommended acres to minimize impacts to schools and
residential property. He suggested that once established, the emergency shelters will not go
away, and he proposed that the City consider a buffer around schools, possibly 600 feet,
and around residential.
Chris Parsons, Del Monte neighborhood, agreed that the process has been exemplary and she
appreciated that the community members were listened to. She strongly supported the current
plan, and said that a buffer for schools and parks is a good idea. Tom Rowley said that a lot of
progress has been made and noted that an emergency shelter will have an impact. He voiced
his disagreement that CEQA would not apply. He said there needs to be a more frequent, more
accurate homeless count. Gary Cursio, Monterey County Hospitality Association Director of
Government Affairs, said that this process has been long and very thorough. He said that the
issue has been well discussed and all groups were represented and the hospitality community
is very pleased with the current recommendation.
John Narigi, Cannery Row Business Association, agreed with the previous speaker and urged
Council to adopt the recommendation as presented by the Planning Commission. He said that
the Cannery Row Company is also very pleased. Judy Karas thanked the Planning
Commission and Rick Marvin. She suggested that Council consider Fort Ord property for low
and very low income housing and she encouraged a regional approach and task force.
Bob Massaro, MCPOA, said that his group is very supportive of the Planning Commission
recommendation as it is presented. He voiced a concern that the number of homeless people
cited in the report might be outdated, and he urged Council to confirm the number.
7
City Council Minutes Tuesday, June 20, 2017
Mike Brassfield said that the public involvement in this issue was great. He said that he does
not support designating the area adjacent to residential, but he supported the other
recommendations. McKayla Taylor, Villa Del Monte Neighborhood President, expressed her
appreciation to Council, Planning Commission, staff, and especially her neighbors. She agreed
with the suggestion for a buffer around the schools.
Marlene Perfecto Huckleberry suggested that the management of a shelter be given to the
Monterey County Health Department. She suggested that the Federal guidelines be followed,
and said that an emergency shelter is not adequate, rather it should be a 24 hour year-round
operation. With no further requests to speak, Mayor Roberson closed the public hearing.
Principal Planner Caraker addressed the issue regarding a buffer around schools, noting that
those are considered services and some people might need access to those services. She said
that too much specificity could lead to challenges. She reviewed the issue regarding residential
buffers. City Attorney Davi noted that a Section 38-99.2 has been added causing the number of
homeless people to be tied to the updates to the Housing Element. She explained that because
this is not discretionary, the State has exempted it from CEQA.
Councilmember Smith noted that tonight's action is to establish an overlay, and any site in the
district could be a site in the future. He said he would like to look further at buffers.
Mayor Roberson called a recess at 8:21 p.m. and reconvened the meeting at 8:30 p.m.
Councilmember Smith suggested that the area at Casanova and Fremont, next to Melway
Circle, be removed, along with Della Vina to Ramona along Del Monte.
Councilmember Barrett voiced concerns regarding equity and said that he is uncomfortable
when people start talking about carve-outs.
Councilmember Haffa said that he is leery about making too many changes given the process
that this has gone through. He said that this will be a benefit to have emergency shelters, and
most of these areas will never be a shelter.
It was moved by Councilmember Haffa, and seconded by Councilmember Barrett, to approve
the Planning Commission recommendation and pass the Ordinance to print, M.C.C. Section
38-11 Amendment to add definition for Emergency Shelter; and to add Article 16B to create a
new Emergency (Homeless) Shelter Overlay Zoning District to permit emergency (homeless)
shelters meeting specific operational and management requirements by right; and apply the
Overlay Zone to certain properties zoned Industrial (IR), Commercial Office (CO) except for
properties located on El Dorado between Major Sherman Lane and Mesa Road; Community
Commercial (C-2) except for the Del Monte Center, and properties fronting Wave Street and
Foam Street; General Commercial (C-3) between Dela Vina and Highway One, Planned
Community Lighthouse (PC-L) except for parcels fronting Lighthouse Avenue, Planned
Community-North Fremont (PC-NF) except for parcels fronting North Fremont, Planned
Community-Downtown (PC-D) except for properties Fronting Alvarado and Calle Principal and
properties within the Royal Presidio, Heritage, Island of the Adobes, and Recreation Character
Areas:
Councilmember Albert suggested an amendment to remove the Fremont-Casanova area
adjacent to Melway Circle from the overlay district. Councilmember Haffa accepted the
proposed amendment, and the seconder agreed.

Munras and the seconder agreed.

COUNCIL COMMENTS
Councilmember Albert mentioned that he attended the New Monterey Business and New
Monterey Neighborhood Association meetings where traffic on Lighthouse was discussed. He said
that the traffic is better on Lighthouse but not on the cross streets, and he would like the Council to
study the situation.
Councilmember Haffa agreed with a previous speaker regarding the power box in front of the
Cooper Molema, adobe, saying that the Council should see if it could be relocated. Ms. Cole said
that it is a temporary power supply for use during construction. Dr. Haffa said that the Monterey
Pops Festival was outstanding. He reported that the Peninsula Pride Parade in Seaside had a
great turnout, as did Opening Day for the Monterey Amberjacks at Sollecito Ballpark. He updated
the Council on the Monterey Bay Community Power action to offer a contract to an interim CEO
and the organization’s success. Councilmember Haffa reported that FORA will sunset in 2020, but
they have asked to extend the legislation so the program could be finished within 6-10 years. He
said that they plan to meet with TAMC to discuss the transition. Mayor Roberson suggested a
presentation. Councilmember Barrett said that he would like to keep an open mind regarding the
sunset of FORA, and noted that some issues could be solved before 2020.
Councilmember Barrett mentioned a number of events that he attended, including the Van Buren
Street groundbreaking; First Capital Bank 10th Anniversary; Monterey Pops Concert on the Lawn;
two Arbor Day tree plantings; celebration of Small Business Awards by Small Business Council;
25 year Sports Center Anniversary; ribbon cutting for the renovation of Jacks; and the Monterey
Amberjacks. He reported on the Monterey Regional Water Pollution Control Agency Budget
workshops where they discussed how to maintain appropriate charges for fees to maintain
infrastructure. He noted that Marina has moved forward with recommending action against the
CEMEX mining plant, and people can forward their comments to the Coastal Commission. He
voiced concerns regarding traffic issues at the corners of Spencer and David and Hoffman and

Park. He said that he was recently in Atlanta for a Rotary conference and he noted that Monterey
is pretty famous and he received great feedback. He said that the Pops received a lot of media
coverage and his friend had a featured article. He said it is good to be back home.
