MONTEREY COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS: Villas de Carmelo Disapproval of proposed amendments to the Carmel Area Land Use Plan and Coastal Implementation Plan & Denial of the Application
UPDATE:
MONTEREY COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
ROLL CALL
Present: Supervisors Parker (Chair), Armenta, Calcagno, Salinas and Potter.
SCHEDULED MATTERS
S-5 Public Hearing (continued from October 11, 2011) to consider:
a. Disapproval of proposed amendments to the Carmel Area Land Use Plan and Coastal Implementation Plan (Chapter 20.146.120-- Land Use and Development Standards) to establish a High Density Residential (HDR) land use designation and HDR zoning district, and to change the existing designation and zoning on a 3.68 acre site from MDR/2 (Medium Density Residential/2 units per acre) to HDR/12.5 (High Density Residential/12.5 units per acre); and
b. Denial of the application.
(PLN070497 - Rigoulette [Villas de Carmelo], 24945 Valley Way, Carmel, Carmel Area Land Use Plan)
Public Comment Highlights:
Mark Bayne, Save Our Carmel Neighborhoods Coalition, addressed the Supervisors and questioned why the zoning issue was not addressed “at the very beginning” of the Widewaters application process and thanked the Supervisors for their support and decision-making.
Amy White, Executive Director, LandWatch, congratulated the Supervisors for their “good” decision to deny the project.
Aengus Jeffers, (attorney Horan, Lloyd, Karachale, Dyer, Schwartz, Law & Cook, Incorporated) representing Rigoulette LLC, owned by the McDowell family, stated that Widewaters terminated their “option” and the McDowell’s are now back in control of the property. He stated that the McDowell’s want to find a use for the property. He stated that his client and he are getting “smart” starting with LandWatch and the City of Carmel for a 16-unit property and determine if the project is economically feasible. He asked for two revisions involving the CDO and water and stated that no one will be appealing the denial.
Molly Erickson, attorney for Save Our Carmel Neighborhoods Coalition, rebutted Jeffers, stated that now is not the time to intensify water use in the Cal-Am service area, the State Water Resources Control Board letter stands and thanked the Supervisors for their leadership and “wise decision” on this project.
Motion by Supervisor Potter, seconded. 5-0
Supervisor Potter stated that there is a project for the property consistent with zoning and that Villas de Carmelo was dictated to the community, not done in collaboration with the community.

IX. Ordinances
A. Consideration of an Ordinance amending Chapter 3.32 of the Carmel Municipal Code (Transient Occupancy Tax) to establish a Transient Occupancy Tax Incentive Program. (First reading)
Thompson Lange (owner Homescapes), Chair of Economic Advisory Committee, Carmel Chamber of Commerce, and Carrie Theis presented a power point presentation.
History of the Inn Incentive Program
• Palm Springs developed an incentive program in 2007 to encourage boutique hotels to refurbish their properties.
• In 2009, Tom Riser, Inns-by-the-Sea, sent a little to Sue McCloud describing this program and suggesting Carmel should look into the feasible of something similar.
• April 2010, this idea was brought to the Economic Advisory Committee who along with Rich Guillen, researched it and asked a Palm Springs representative, John Raymond, to come make a presentation in October of 2010.
• In May 2010, Thompson Lange and Carrie Theis introduced the topic to Jason’s Town Hall meeting.
Purpose of the Ordinance
• To encourage inn owners to make refurbishments
• To improve the quality of the hostelry facilities thereby enhancing the visitor experience.
• These improvements will result in the City’s hotel industry being more competitive.
• Therefore yielding higher TOT revenues for the City of Carmel.
Recommendations
• A minimum expenditure of $12,500 per room
• Renovations must be capitalized improvements
• The program is available to 20% of the City’s room inventory per year
• Property must apply for the program the application would include:
-A description of the capital improvements
-A schematic plan outlining the improvements
-A renovation schedule
-Budget estimate
-Financial projection for 10 year after completion date
• After approval, an agreement will be signed and recorded between the City and owner.
• Capital improvement must be underway within 6 months of the agreement.
• Renovations must be completed within 24 months.
Example of an Inn Incentive Program
• A 20 room inn spends $250,000 in renovations
Note: 20 room inn average size of inn in City
• Their Baseline Level TOT average is $74,460 per year for the last three years.
• After renovations, the first annual TOT payment goes up to $87,381.
• This is an increase of $12,921 of which half or $6,461 would be returned to the inn.
• Such payments would be made for a 10 year period.
TOT Incentive Matrix Sharing 50% of TOT Revenue Increases (Summary Highlights)
Base/2012
Occupancy: 60%
Average Rate: $170
Revenue: $744,600
TOT Gross: $74,460
TOT Net to City: $74,460
2013
Occupancy: 63%
Average Rate: $190
Revenue: $873,810
TOT Gross: $87,381
Increase Over Base: $12,921
50% of Increase: $6,461
TOT Net to City: $80,921
Totals after 10 Years: TOT Gross: $1,107,139
Increase Over Base: $362,539
50% of Increase: $181,270
TOT Net to City: $925,870
10 years without renovations @ 2% annual growth = $759,492
Difference between renovations being done & without renovations = $179,125 23.6% Increase of TOT
Assumptions:
Renovation of 20 Rooms and Public Areas = $250,000 (minimum spend per room needs to be $12,500)
Base year established by average of previous 3 years of TOT.
Renovation improvements must be expenditures that can be capitalized under GAAP.
Program available annually to a maximum of 20% of City inventory of hotel rooms.
Benefits
• Occupancy rates increase, yielding higher TOT.
• Put employees, i.e., plumbers contractors, electricians, landscapers, et cetera., to work.
• Increase economic vitality of inns.
• Property values increase with resultant increase in property tax revenues.
Council Member Burnett expressed concerns about correct baseline to prevent “windfalls.” He cited 5-year TOT change variable from a decrease of 11% (low) to an increase of 85% (high). In response, Carrie Theis stated that a 5-year period had a 5% difference in base. Council Member Burnett stressed that innkeepers should only receive credit for “above and beyond” actions. Council Member Talmage suggested aggregate number with market condition market factor.
Mayor McCloud opened the meeting to public comment.

Comments addressed the Ordinance and the plight of former La Playa employees. Topics/Comments included the following: the fiscal effect of the Ordinance to the City; protection for workers laid off during renovations; benefit biased in favor of innkeepers; new owner, Classic Hotels & Resorts, included succession clause to San Francisco employees, but not La Playa employees and suggested Ordinance be modified in ways to prevent public money towards a subsidy for “despicable” behavior; a need for a balance between incentive program and living wages for employees; consideration of employee continuity; TOT is a fee to recover some of impacts that industry has on community based on influx of tourists, Ordinance offers subsidy to innkeepers, but not employees and Ordinance should be contingent on shared future revenues and contain successor clauses; Ordinance is “anti-worker” and beyond “anti-union” and urged the Council to not approve the Ordinance; Ordinance needs to include job protection for employees and the Ordinance should be delayed; the Economic Advisory Committee has worked on the proposal for about two years, data to support the idea that improving facilities allow innkeepers to increase rates, thereby increases occupancy and benefits City with a healthy budget; the spreadsheet figures show innkeepers keeping 90% of increase in revenues without Ordinance versus 95% increase in revenues with Ordinance and questioned consideration of Ordinance; the unintended consequences of public policy implemented with “good intentions” and La Playa situation offers an opportunity to make a correction and postpone Ordinance; the agenda item should be continued and the Council should rethink the Ordinance in “a major way;” including the issue of fairness for workers and employee protections, workers protection and recall ordinances in the Cities of Los Angeles, Berkeley, Emeryville and Santa Monica, represents an opportunity for “justice;” Monterey Bay Central Labor Council of 30,000 workers in opposition to current Ordinance
and an opportunity to reconsider Ordinance and improve it; and Ordinance is a “win-win’ for innkeepers/hotel owners and the City, “a sensible plan,” and the Ordinance is designed for the forty-eight plus or minus hotels/inns in the City, not La Playa.
Mayor McCloud closed the meeting to public comment.
Council Member Talmage stated that there are “two different discussions.” The Ordinance is an “excellent start;” he reviewed market adjustment factor, three financial variables including amount of the investment, percentage sharing relationship and period of years and suggested a scale, not a number.

IX. Ordinances
A. Consideration of an Ordinance amending Chapter 3.32 of the Carmel Municipal Code (Transient Occupancy Tax) to establish a Transient Occupancy Tax Incentive Program. (First reading)
Thompson Lange (owner Homescapes), Chair of Economic Advisory Committee, Carmel Chamber of Commerce, and Carrie Theis presented a power point presentation.
History of the Inn Incentive Program
• Palm Springs developed an incentive program in 2007 to encourage boutique hotels to refurbish their properties.
• In 2009, Tom Riser, Inns-by-the-Sea, sent a little to Sue McCloud describing this program and suggesting Carmel should look into the feasible of something similar.
• April 2010, this idea was brought to the Economic Advisory Committee who along with Rich Guillen, researched it and asked a Palm Springs representative, John Raymond, to come make a presentation in October of 2010.
• In May 2010, Thompson Lange and Carrie Theis introduced the topic to Jason’s Town Hall meeting.
Purpose of the Ordinance
• To encourage inn owners to make refurbishments
• To improve the quality of the hostelry facilities thereby enhancing the visitor experience.
• These improvements will result in the City’s hotel industry being more competitive.
• Therefore yielding higher TOT revenues for the City of Carmel.
Recommendations
• A minimum expenditure of $12,500 per room
• Renovations must be capitalized improvements
• The program is available to 20% of the City’s room inventory per year
• Property must apply for the program the application would include:
-A description of the capital improvements
-A schematic plan outlining the improvements
-A renovation schedule
-Budget estimate
-Financial projection for 10 year after completion date
• After approval, an agreement will be signed and recorded between the City and owner.
• Capital improvement must be underway within 6 months of the agreement.
• Renovations must be completed within 24 months.
Example of an Inn Incentive Program
• A 20 room inn spends $250,000 in renovations
Note: 20 room inn average size of inn in City
• Their Baseline Level TOT average is $74,460 per year for the last three years.
• After renovations, the first annual TOT payment goes up to $87,381.
• This is an increase of $12,921 of which half or $6,461 would be returned to the inn.
• Such payments would be made for a 10 year period.
TOT Incentive Matrix Sharing 50% of TOT Revenue Increases (Summary Highlights)
Base/2012
Occupancy: 60%
Average Rate: $170
Revenue: $744,600
TOT Gross: $74,460
TOT Net to City: $74,460
2013
Occupancy: 63%
Average Rate: $190
Revenue: $873,810
TOT Gross: $87,381
Increase Over Base: $12,921
50% of Increase: $6,461
TOT Net to City: $80,921
Totals after 10 Years: TOT Gross: $1,107,139
Increase Over Base: $362,539
50% of Increase: $181,270
TOT Net to City: $925,870
10 years without renovations @ 2% annual growth = $759,492
Difference between renovations being done & without renovations = $179,125 23.6% Increase of TOT
Assumptions:
Renovation of 20 Rooms and Public Areas = $250,000 (minimum spend per room needs to be $12,500)
Base year established by average of previous 3 years of TOT.
Renovation improvements must be expenditures that can be capitalized under GAAP.
Program available annually to a maximum of 20% of City inventory of hotel rooms.
Benefits
• Occupancy rates increase, yielding higher TOT.
• Put employees, i.e., plumbers contractors, electricians, landscapers, et cetera., to work.
• Increase economic vitality of inns.
• Property values increase with resultant increase in property tax revenues.
Council Member Burnett expressed concerns about correct baseline to prevent “windfalls.” He cited 5-year TOT change variable from a decrease of 11% (low) to an increase of 85% (high). In response, Carrie Theis stated that a 5-year period had a 5% difference in base. Council Member Burnett stressed that innkeepers should only receive credit for “above and beyond” actions. Council Member Talmage suggested aggregate number with market condition market factor.
Mayor McCloud opened the meeting to public comment.
Sixteen members of the public addressed Council, including, but not limited to, Barbara Livingston, Richard Stiles, James Emery, Keith Vandevere, Monta Potter (Carmel Chamber of Commerce CEO), Vinz Koller, Chris Fitz (representing Local 483 Union of La Playa and The Pine Inn employees) and David How (Carmel Lodge owner).
