A. 
Purpose. The purpose of this chapter is to establish comprehensive requirements and development standards for the siting, design, construction, maintenance and modification of wireless facilities in Carmel-by-the-Sea, including on public and private property and in public rights-of-way, in order to manage their deployment and minimize adverse aesthetic impacts to Carmel-by-the-Sea's unique village character, consistent with and to the full extent of the City's authority under Federal and California law.
B. 
Findings. The City Council hereby finds that:
1. 
Limitations on the placement of wireless facilities within the City limits are necessary to:
a. 
Protect Carmel-by-the-Sea's distinct "village in a forest, by the sea" character with its centralized commercial core surrounded by residential land uses.
b. 
Protect Carmel-by-the Sea's charm as a popular visitor destination, known as much for its spectacular coast as for its unique community character.
c. 
Recognize and respect that Carmel-by-the-Sea is among a limited number of California coastal communities where nearly the entire shoreline from the first public road to the sea is open to the public and easily accessible and that, over the years, Carmel has maintained a balance between preserving the beauty of the shoreline environment and adding the physical improvements that make the Carmel shoreline accessible and enjoyable to the public, keeping the entire beach and bluff as natural appearing as possible consistent with public access, habitat protection, safety and provision of limited recreational support facilities.
d. 
Recognize and respect that Carmel-by-the-Sea's streets are narrow in width, 26 to 34 feet, with few gutters or sidewalks and that this lack of formal development of streets throughout Carmel (with the exception of some of the downtown thoroughfares) has been a conscious effort on the part of residents to maintain a "village in a forest" atmosphere, and gives rise to many unique situations relating to traffic, circulation, parking and pedestrian safety.
2. 
Personal wireless services can serve as an important and effective part of Carmel-by-the-Sea's emergency response and communications.
3. 
The regulations contained herein are designed to promote public health, safety and community welfare, preserve the natural resources and scenic quality of Carmel-by-the-Sea and protect the character of the City's residential neighborhoods, recognizing that the preservation of the residential character in Carmel is central to all land uses, consistent with the findings in subsections (B)(1) and (2) of this section, while regulating managed development of wireless infrastructure throughout the City.
4. 
The provisions of this chapter are intended to:
a. 
Comply with all applicable goals, objectives and policies of the General Plan, the City's local coastal program and the California Coastal Act.
b. 
Minimize adverse aesthetic impacts associated with wireless facilities in all districts.
c. 
Preserve Carmel's primarily residential character by keeping business and commerce subordinate to its residential character.
d. 
Comply with all Federal law, Federal Communications Commission rules, regulations and standards, California law, and California Public Utilities Commission regulations and standards.
e. 
Ensure the safe installation and maintenance of wireless facilities to protect against fire hazards made more prevalent by Carmel's unique urbanized forest, topography and accessibility.

Additional Definitions Applicable to Eligible Facilities Requests (EFRs) Only.
1. 
"Collocation"
means the same as defined by the FCC in 47 CFR 1.6100(b)(2), which means the mounting or installation of transmission equipment on an eligible support structure for the purpose of transmitting and/or receiving radio frequency signals for communications purposes.
2. 
"Eligible support structure"
means the same as defined by the FCC in 47 CFR 1.6100(b)(4), which means any tower or base station; provided, that it is existing at the time the relevant eligible facilities request application is filed with the State or local government.
3. 
"Existing"
means the same as defined by the FCC in 47 CFR 1.6100(b)(4), which means a constructed tower or base station is "existing" for purposes of an EFR, if it has been reviewed and approved under the applicable zoning or siting process, or under another State or local regulatory review process; provided, that a tower that has not been reviewed and approved because it was not in a zoned area when it was built, but was lawfully constructed, is existing for purposes of this definition.
4. 
"Site"
means the same as defined by the FCC in 47 CFR 1.6100(b)(6), which means that for towers other than towers in the public rights-of-way, the current boundaries of the leased or owned property surrounding the tower and any access or utility easements currently related to the site, and, for other eligible support structures, further restricted to that area in proximity to the structure and to other transmission equipment already deployed on the ground. The current boundaries of a site are the boundaries that existed as of the date that the original support structure or a modification to that structure was last reviewed and approved by a State or local government, if the approval of the modification occurred prior to the Spectrum Act or otherwise outside of the Section 6409(a) process.
5. 
"Substantial change" or "substantially change"
means the same as defined by the FCC in 47 CFR 1.6100(b)(7), which establishes different criteria based on the particular facility type and location. For clarity, the definition in this chapter reorganizes the FCC's criteria and thresholds for a substantial change according to the facility type and location.
a. 
For towers outside the public rights-of-way, a substantial change occurs when:
i. 
The proposed collocation or modification increases the overall height more than 10 percent or the height of one additional antenna array with separation from the nearest antenna not to exceed 20 feet (whichever is greater); or
ii. 
The proposed collocation or modification increases the width more than 20 feet from the edge of the wireless tower or the width of the wireless tower at the level of the appurtenance (whichever is greater); or
iii. 
The proposed collocation or modification involves the installation of more than the standard number of equipment cabinets for the technology involved, not to exceed four; or
iv. 
The proposed collocation or modification involves excavation or deployment outside the current boundaries of the leased or owned property surrounding the wireless tower by more than 30 feet in any direction. The site boundary from which the 30 feet is measured excludes any access or utility easements currently related to the site.
b. 
For towers in the public rights-of-way and for all base stations, a substantial change occurs when:
i. 
The proposed collocation or modification increases the overall height more than 10 percent or 10 feet (whichever is greater); or
ii. 
The proposed collocation or modification increases the width more than six feet from the edge of the wireless tower or base station; or
iii. 
The proposed collocation or modification involves the installation of any new equipment cabinets on the ground when there are no existing ground-mounted equipment cabinets; or
iv. 
The proposed collocation or modification involves the installation of any new ground-mounted equipment cabinets that are 10 percent larger in height or volume than any existing ground-mounted equipment cabinets; or
v. 
The proposed collocation or modification involves excavation or deployment outside the area in proximity to the structure and other transmission equipment already deployed on the ground.
c. 
In addition, for all towers and base stations wherever located, a substantial change occurs when:
i. 
The proposed collocation or modification would defeat the existing concealment elements of the eligible support structure as determined by the reviewing authority; or
ii. 
The proposed collocation or modification violates a prior condition of approval; provided, however, that the collocation need not comply with any prior condition of approval related to height, width, equipment cabinets or excavation that is inconsistent with the thresholds for a substantial change described in this definition.
d. 
The thresholds for a substantial change outlined above are disjunctive. The failure to meet any one or more of the applicable thresholds means that a substantial change would occur. The thresholds for height increases are cumulative limits from the originally permitted eligible support structure. For sites with horizontally separated deployments, the cumulative limit is measured from the originally permitted eligible support structure without regard to any increases in size due to wireless equipment not included in the original design. For sites that existed prior to February 22, 2012, the cumulative limit for vertically separated deployments is measured from the permitted site dimensions as they existed on February 22, 2012, the date that P.L. 112-96 was signed into law.
(Ord. 2023-06 § 2, 2023)
A. 
General. This chapter applies to all requests for the City's regulatory authorization to construct, install, operate, collocate, modify, relocate, remove or otherwise deploy wireless facilities on property within the City's territorial and jurisdictional boundaries, unless expressly exempted pursuant to subsection (B) of this section. This includes permit applications submitted to the City for decision in its regulatory capacity for wireless facilities on property or structures owned or controlled by the City and located within the City, including in public rights-of-way; provided, however, that this chapter does not govern whether or under what terms and conditions the City, in its capacity as the property or structure owner, would lease, license or otherwise allow a wireless facility on such property or structures.
B. 
This chapter shall not be applicable to the following:
1. 
Wireless facilities installed completely indoors and used to extend personal wireless services into a business or the subscriber's private residence, such as a "femtocell" or indoor distributed antenna system;
2. 
OTARD antennas which are regulated pursuant to Chapter 15.40 CMC, Antennas and Satellite Dishes;
3. 
Antennas and related transmission equipment used in connection with a duly authorized amateur station operated by a Federally licensed amateur radio operator as part of the amateur radio service; provided, that its maximum height does not exceed the height requirements of the zoning district;
4.

5. 
Temporary wireless facilities parked in a fixed location within the public rights-of-way for no longer than 10 days under an approved special events permit pursuant to Chapter 12.48 CMC.
(Ord. 2023-06 § 2, 2023)
A. 
Location Standards. When considering compatibility of a location and structure for Type I, Type II, Type III and Type IV wireless facilities, the City requires applicants to propose those that will be the least intrusive to community character and values. Subsection (B) of this section provides a ranking that describes zoning districts where wireless facilities are least compatible to most compatible with other uses. Subsection (C) of this section provides the City's preference for placements on parcels over public rights-of-way. Subsection (D) of this section provides structure rankings. Subsection (E) of this section provides additional special considerations for site selection on public rights-of-way.
B. 
Ranked Locations. Applicants must propose placement in locations with the least intrusive land use designation (i.e., zoning) technically feasible and potentially available. Applications proposing placement in Tier I or II must include a written justification as part of the application submittal, supported by factual and verifiable evidence, that shows no location in a Tier III land use tier is technically feasible and available. The following land use tiers are ranked from least compatible to most compatible:
Tier I (Least compatible):
Senior citizen facility (A-3), multifamily residential (R-4), single-family residential (R-1), and residential and limited commercial (RC).
Tier II:
Improved parklands (P-2), natural parklands and preserves (P-1), and theatrical (A-1).
Tier III (Most compatible):
Central commercial (CC), service commercial (SC), and community and cultural (A-2).
C. 
Preference for Placement on Public and Private Parcels Over on Public Rights-of-Way. Placement on public and private parcels is strongly preferred over placements in the public rights-of-way because Carmel's public rights-of-way are narrow in width (26 to 34 feet), with few gutters or sidewalks. Limiting wireless facilities in public rights-of-way is necessary: (1) to ensure that the flow of pedestrian and vehicular traffic, including ingress to, or egress from, any residence, public building, or place of business or from the street to the sidewalk, by persons exiting or entering parked or standing vehicles, is maintained; (2) to provide reasonable access for the use and maintenance of sidewalks, pathways, hydrants, restrooms, trash receptacles, firefighting apparatus, as well as access to locations used for public transportation services; (3) to ensure no interference to the performance of police, firefighter, and other emergency medical personnel; and (4) to maximize public access in the commercial districts and along the coast which have unusually high pedestrian and vehicular traffic volumes. Applications proposing placement in the public right-of-way must include a written justification as part of the application submittal, supported by factual and verifiable evidence, that shows placement on a parcel is not technically feasible and available.
D. 
Structure Selection. Applicants shall propose placement on the most compatible structure that is technically feasible and available. Any application to place a wireless facility on a structure other than the most compatible structure must include a written justification, based on factual and verifiable evidence, that shows no more compatible structure is technically feasible and available.
1. 
Structure Selection on Parcels. The following structures are ranked from least compatible to most compatible on parcels:
a. 
New (nonreplacement) structures.
b. 
Residential historic structures.
c. 
Existing building rooftops.
d. 
Existing (or replacement) nonbuilding structures without existing wireless facilities.
e. 
Existing nonbuilding structures with existing wireless facilities.
2. 
Structure Selection on Public Rights-of-Way. New (nonreplacement) structures of any type (pole or nonpole) are the least compatible structures to use on public rights-of-way. Existing (or replacement) utility poles are the most compatible structures. Selection of structures/locations in the public right-of-way is also subject to the limitations in subsection (E) of this section.
E. 
Additional Special Considerations for Locations in the Public Right-of-Way.
1. 
Highly Incompatible Locations in the Public Right-of-Way. Applicants shall not propose to install wireless facilities in/on a highly incompatible location in the public right-of-way unless the application is accompanied by a request for a special exception finding under CMC § 17.46.080(C). The following is a list of highly incompatible locations:
a. 
Any location in the public right-of-way within the single-family residential zoning district.
b. 
Any location in the public right-of-way that would trigger review of consistency with the Secretary of the Interior's standards for potential impacts to a historic resource on a residential parcel in any Tier I zone in subsection (B) of this section;
c. 
Any location in the public right-of-way within the area depicted in Figure 1 below.
17.46.040(E).tif
FIGURE 1
2. 
Additional Public Right-of-Way Location Selection Standards. Applicants shall not select existing structures and shall not propose new (nonreplacement) structures in the following locations unless the application includes a written justification, based on factual and verifiable evidence, that shows no structure/location is technically feasible and available outside these locations:
a. 
Directly in front of the areas which are five feet in either direction from the centerline of each entry door or window in the front facade of any occupied residential building.
b. 
Within a 500-foot radius from another wireless facility within the public rights-of-way.
3. 
Public Right-of-Way Location Safety Considerations. Applicants shall not propose adding new structures in the following locations:
a. 
Any location that would create a hazard to public health or safety.
b. 
Any location that would adversely affect the normal drainage of surface water, unless an acceptable mitigation is included that will be advantageous to the general public.
c. 
Any location that would adversely affect vehicular and/or pedestrian traffic or the parking of vehicles including placements in any visibility triangle that obstructs or restricts the view necessary for the safe operation of motor vehicles as determined by the Traffic Safety Committee.
d. 
Any location that would adversely affect the root structure of any existing trees, or significantly reduce greenbelt area that may be used for tree planting.
e. 
Any location within 10 feet away from any driveways for police stations, fire stations, or other emergency responder facilities.
f. 
Any location that would physically interfere with or impede access to any: (i) aboveground or underground infrastructure for traffic control, or public transportation, including, without limitation, any curb control sign, parking meter, vehicular traffic sign or signal, pedestrian traffic sign or signal, barricade reflectors; (ii) public transportation vehicles, shelters, street furniture, or other improvements at any public transportation stop; (iii) aboveground or underground infrastructure owned or operated by any public or private utility agency; (iv) fire hydrant or water valve; (v) doors, gates, sidewalk doors, passage doors, stoops, or other ingress and egress points to any building appurtenant to the right-of-way; or (vi) fire escape.
F. 
Design Standards.
1. 
General Requirements. This subsection (F) establishes generally applicable design standards for all Type I, Type II, Type III and Type IV wireless facilities in all locations. The design of Type I, Type II, Type III and Type IV wireless facilities must also comply with applicable administrative guidelines adopted by the Planning Commission pursuant to subsection (F)(2) of this section, Chapter 17.58 CMC, and the City Council pursuant to CMC § 17.58.020(E).
a. 
Stealth/Concealment. All wireless facilities must be stealth to the maximum extent feasible. Colors and materials for wireless facilities shall be muted, subdued, nonreflective and chosen to minimize visibility to the greatest extent feasible.
b. 
Overall Height. On public and private parcels, wireless facilities may not exceed more than 10 feet above the maximum height allowed by this code for the underlying zoning district where the facility is proposed. In the public right-of-way, wireless facilities on an existing pole may not have an overall height that exceeds the height of the existing pole by more than 10 feet and wireless facilities that involve a replacement pole or a new pole may not have an overall height that is more than 10 feet above the height of the replaced pole or existing poles in the vicinity unless additional height is necessary to comply with CPUC safety standards such as General Order 95.
c. 
Finishes. All exterior surfaces shall be painted, colored, and/or wrapped in flat, muted, subdued, nonreflective hues that match the underlying structure or blend with the surrounding environment. All exterior surfaces on wireless facilities shall be constructed from, or coated with, graffiti-resistant materials. All finishes shall be subject to the reviewing authority's prior approval.
d. 
Noise. All wireless facilities must be compliant with all applicable noise regulations, which includes, without limitation, any noise regulations in this code. The reviewing authority may require the applicant to incorporate appropriate noise-baffling materials and/or noise-mitigating strategies to avoid any ambient noise from equipment reasonably likely to exceed the applicable noise regulations.
e. 
Lights. Wireless facilities may not include exterior lights other than as may be required under the Federal Aviation Administration, FCC, or other applicable Federal or State governmental regulations. All exterior lights permitted or required to be installed must be installed in locations and within enclosures that mitigate illumination impacts on other properties to the maximum extent feasible. Any lights associated with the electronic equipment shall be appropriately shielded from public view. Any light beacons or lightning arresters shall be included in the overall height calculation.
f. 
Trees and Landscaping. Wireless facilities shall not be installed (in whole or in part) on new poles within any tree drip line. Wireless facilities may not displace any existing tree or landscape and/or hardscape features. All wireless facilities proposed to be placed in a landscaped area must include landscape and/or hardscape features (which may include, without limitation, trees, shrubs and ground cover) and a landscape maintenance plan. The existing native vegetation shall be maintained to the maximum extent feasible. The reviewing authority may require additional landscape features to screen the wireless facility from public view, avoid or mitigate potential adverse impacts on adjacent properties or otherwise enhance the stealth techniques required under this chapter. All plants proposed or required must be reviewed as part of a formal landscaping plan and approved by the City.
g. 
Signage, Advertisements. All wireless facilities must include signage that accurately identifies the equipment owner/operator, the owner/operator's site name or identification number and a toll-free number to the owner/operator's network operations center. Wireless facilities may not bear any other signage or advertisements unless expressly approved by the reviewing authority, required by law or recommended under FCC or other Federal governmental agencies for compliance with RF emissions regulations.

Security Measures. To prevent unauthorized access, theft, vandalism, attractive nuisance or other hazards, reasonable and appropriate security measures, such as fences, walls and anti-climbing devices may be approved. Security measures shall be designed and implemented in a manner that enhances or contributes to the overall stealth, and the reviewing authority may condition approval on additional stealth elements to mitigate any aesthetic impacts, which may include, without limitation, additional landscape or hardscape features. Barbed wire, razor ribbon, electrified fences or any similar security measures are prohibited. Alarm systems shall not include any visible alarms or audible sirens or other sounds.
i. 
Fire Safety. All wireless facilities shall be designed by qualified, licensed persons to provide the maximum protection that is technically feasible to prevent electrical and fire hazards. All wireless facilities shall be proactively monitored and maintained to continue and, if possible, improve the safety design.
j. 
Compliance With Laws. All wireless facilities must be designed and sited in compliance with all applicable Federal, State, regional, and local laws, regulations, rules, restrictions and conditions, which includes without limitation the California Building Standards Code, Americans With Disabilities Act, general plan and any applicable specific plan, this code and any conditions or restrictions in any permit or other governmental approval issued by any public agency with jurisdiction over the project.
k. 
View Protection. Wireless facilities shall be located and designed to preserve significant coastal views from the public right-of-way in conformance with Section 30251 of the California Coastal Act. The protection of public views should not prevent reasonable development of the site, yet development shall not preclude reasonable protection of any significant coastal view. Designs should respect views enjoyed by neighboring parcels and should not present excess visual mass or bulk to public view or to adjoining properties. Wireless communications facilities, to every extent possible, should be sited to not create visual clutter or negatively affect important public or private views as determined by the reviewing authority. Collocation is encouraged when it will decrease visual impact. This objective is intended to balance the private rights to views from all parcels that will be affected by a proposed wireless facility. No single parcel should enjoy a greater right than other parcels except the natural advantages of each site's topography. Wireless facilities which substantially eliminate an existing significant view enjoyed on another parcel should be avoided.
2. 
Administrative Detailed Wireless Facility Design Guidelines. The Planning Commission may develop, and from time to time amend, Administrative Detailed Wireless Facility Design Guidelines consistent with the generally applicable design standards contained in this chapter to clarify the aesthetic and public safety goals and standards in this chapter for City staff, applicants and the public. The Administrative Detailed Wireless Facility Design Guidelines shall provide more detailed standards to implement the general principles articulated in this section and may include specific standards for particular wireless facilities or site locations, but shall not unreasonably discriminate between functionally equivalent service providers. If a conflict arises between the development standards specified in this chapter and the Administrative Detailed Wireless Facility Design Guidelines, the development standards specified in this chapter shall control.
G. 
Standards Applicable to Type V Wireless Facilities. Type V applications are evaluated under the criteria for an eligible facilities request established by Federal law and FCC regulations to determine whether or not the request involves a "substantial change" to an "eligible support structure" as these terms are defined in CMC § 17.46.020. Type V applications also must comply with any generally applicable law, regulation, rule or standard or permit condition reasonably related to public health or safety.
