Dear Mr. McCann:
DIGEST
i
Serious drought.
Help save water!
This is in response to your recent letter regarding Caltrans' proposed traffic signal at the
intersection of Tiburon Boulevard (State Route 131) and North Knoll Road. Specifically, you
have concerns that with the proposed signal, traffic flow on this segment of Tiburon Boulevard
could further worsen; thus, increase motorist delays and greenhouse gas emissions and decrease
multi -modal safety.
The intersection of Tiburon Boulevard and North Knoll Road, located slightly east of Route 101
interchange, was identified in our safety monitoring program as a location with high accident
concentration which required a safety investigation. We also received complaints from
pedestrians expressing concern for crossing the highway. A review of the accident history
revealed that the number of accidents that can be corrected by a traffic signal was seven in a
twelve month period and 13 out of 25 accidents in a three-year period. Upon further
investigation, it was determined that both accident and traffic volumes warrants included in the
California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CAMUTCD) were met; thus, a traffic
signal is warranted for the intersection. Subsequently, a signal operation study was performed to
evaluate the operation of the new signal in conjunction with adjacent signals within this segment
of the highway. The analysis indicated that the new signal can be coordinated with the existing
signals to operate efficiently. It is estimated that the intersection will operate at level of service
B during both the morning and afternoon peak hours, with delay of 10.3 seconds and 12.3
seconds, respectively. This is a very favorable trade-off for the safety enhancement at the
intersection. The signal project is needed to address existing accident patterns at the intersection,
to facilitate pedestrian crossing, and to bring the intersection into compliance with the American
Disability Act requirements with new or upgraded curb ramps. The signal project has recently
been programmed to tentatively commence construction in 2018/19 fiscal year.
As you also mentioned in your letter, Caltrans is aware of the study by Transportation Authority
of Marin (TAM) to evaluate pedestrian and bicycle improvements on this segment of the
highway, from the intersection of East Blithedale and Kipling/Tower Drive to the intersection of
Tiburon Boulevard and North Knoll Road. We have been working closely with the Technical
"Provide a safe, sustainable, integrated and efficient transportation system
to enhance California's economy and livability"
Mr. Jim McCann

Advisory Committee (TAC) on this study. In the latest TAC meeting on April 20, 2015, the
above information was shared and noted that the proposed signal project would not be in conflict
with the on-going study by TAM. Both can proceed independently and complement each other.
It was understood that the Caltrans' signal project is to focus on enhancing the traffic and
pedestrian safety at the intersection while TAM's study concentrates on pedestrian and bicycle
improvements on Tiburon Boulevard along the above mentioned limits.
Our staff will continue working closely with the TAC and its members to identify needed
improvements and evaluate and implement effective strategies as part of each of the two
projects, in an efficient and complementary manner. Moreover, we will work with the TAC to
develop a public outreach plan to assure full community awareness. Lastly, once constructed,
we will be closely monitoring the operation of the new signal, making appropriate signal timing
adjustments to be well coordinated with other signals based on prevailing traffic conditions on
this segment of the highway.
Thank you for sharing your concerns regarding traffic congestion and your assistance in working
with TAM and us towards improved safety and mobility on Bay Area State highways. If you
would like to discuss your concerns further, please do not hesitate to contact me at (510) 286-
5900, or Mr. Sean Nozzari, Deputy District Director, Traffic Operations, at (510) 286-6345.

RE: HILARITA APARTMENTS, CHANGE IN MANAGEMENT
After twenty five years the Hilarita Apartments in Tiburon, California, will soon see a
change in its management company. The Hilarita-Tiburon Ecumenical Association, the
Non -Profit Corp that owns the property and the management company, John Stewart of
San Francisco, will part company sometime in July.
The departure of John Stewart was sudden and unexpected. No reason was given.
However, it might have had something to do with a successful law suit filed by a long time
resident, a 92 year old African American woman against the on-site manager and her super-
visor.
The non-profit is looking forward to working with a new management company as
soon as a decision is made by the H -TEA board of directors, and a contract is signed.

Airbnb's fate in Santa Monica to be decided tonight - LA Times Page 1 of 5
Santa Monica council votes 7-0 to crack down
on Airbnb
By TIM LOGAN
MAY 12, 2015, 8:47 PM
Santa Monica's City Council on Tuesday passed some of the region's toughest regulations on
the booming short-term rental industry.
In a quick and unanimous vote, the Council approved rules that will ban most short-term
rentals in the city by prohibiting the rental of an entire unit for less than 3o days. The rules
legalize "home -sharing" — in which the occupant rents a couch, spare bedroom or backyard unit
— but require hosts to obtain a business license and pay Santa Monica's 14% hotel tax.
The vote, which happened in moments and with no debate, came despite a protest held outside
Santa Monica City Hall on Tuesday afternoon by more than 100 short-term rental hosts and
supporters. The protest was organized by industry giant Airbnb, and several people there said
they worried that other Southern California cities might adopt similar rules on short-term
rentals.
"It's such a blessing for us to have this money," said Arlene Rosenblatt, a retired teacher who
lives in Santa Monica and frequently lists her apartment on Airbnb when she travels. "We need
to have these regulations changed."
Supporters of the law — organized by housing advocates and a union representing hotel workers
— held a similar rally two weeks ago when the bill was first debated.

And, just like that, they're approved: 7-0. No discussion even. So
much for those protests.

DEFINITION

staff report on an agenda item, in such a manner as to preclude such correspondence or other materials from being
addressed in or attached to the staff report as an exhibit.
IDENTIFICATION OF LATE MAIL
All late mail received by Town Staff in advance of a meeting shall be marked "Late Mail" and shall be date-stamped or
marked with the date of receipt by the Town. Late mail received at a meeting shall be marked as "Received at Meeting"
with a date -stamp or handwritten note.
POLICY
For regular meetings of the Town Council and its standing boards and commissions:

not become part of the administrative record for the item before the reviewing authority.
These provisions shall also apply to special and adjourned meetings when sufficient lead time exists to implement these
provisions. if sufficient lead time does not exist, the Town Manager shall exercise discretion in establishing a reasonable
cut-off time for late mail. For controversial items or at any meeting where a high volume of con•espondence is

for any such item clearly communicates the specifics of the early late mail deadline, and the deadline corresponds
appropriately to any earlier availability of the agenda packet.

TOWN OF TIBURON LATE MAIL POLICY
(Adopted and Effective 11/7/2007)
The following_ policy shall be used by the Town Council and its standing hoards and commissions, and by
staff of the Town of Tiburon, in the identification, distribution and consideration of late mail.
DEFINITION
"Late Mail" is defined as correspondence or other materials that are received by the Town after
completion of the written staff report on an agenda item, in such a manner as to preclude such
correspondence or other materials from being addressed in or attached to the staff report as an exhibit.
IDENTIFICATION OF LATE MAIL
All late mail received by Town Staff in advance of a meeting shall be marked "Late Mail" and shall be
date-stamped or marked with the date of receipt by the Town. Late mail received at a meeting shall be
marked as "Received at Meeting" with a date -stamp or handwritten note.
POLICY
For reaular meetings of the Town Council and its standing boards and commissions:
(1) All late mail that is received on an agenda item prior to distribution of the agenda packet to the
reviewing authority shall be stamped or marked as "Late Mail" and shall be distributed to the
reviewing authority with the agenda packet.
(2) All late mail received on an agenda item before 5:00 PM on the Monday prior to the meeting
shall be date-stamped and marked as "Late Mail" and distributed to the reviewing authority as
soon as practicable. Such mail shall be read and considered by the reviewing authority whenever
possible. If the Monday, or Monday and Tuesday, prior to the meeting are a Town -recognized
holiday, the deadline shall be extended to the following day at Noon.
(3) Any late mail received on an agenda item after the deadline established in paragraph (2) above
shall be date-stamped, marked as "Late Mail" and distributed to the reviewing authority as soon
as reasonably possible, but may not be read or considered by the reviewing authority. There
should be no expectation of, nor shall the reviewing authority have any obligation to, read or
consider any such late mail, and therefore such late mail may not become part of the
administrative record for the item before the reviewing authority.
These provisions shall also apply to special and adjourned meetings when sufficient lead time exists to
implement these provisions. If sufficient lead time does not exist, the Town Manager shall exercise
discretion in establishing a reasonable cut-off time for late mail. For controversial items or at any
meeting where a high volume of correspondence is anticipated, Town staff shall have the option to
require an earlier late mail deadline, provided that the written public notice for any such item clearly
communicates the specifics of the early late mail deadline, and the deadline corresponds appropriately to
any earlier availability of the agenda packet.
Pursuant to state law, copies of all late mail shall be available in a timely fashion for public
inspection at Tiburon Town Hall, 1505 Tiburon Boulevard, Tiburon.

2. Zoning Ordinance Text Amendments (File MCA 2015-05): Consider Recommendation
to Town Council to Adopt Amendments to Chapter 16 (Zoning) of the Tiburon
Municipal Code Regarding Processing of Wireless Communication Facilities; Town -
initiated Amendments [SA]
TIBURON PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES - APRIL 22, 2015 - MINUTES NO. 1053 PAGE 1
Director Anderson gave the staff report, stating this is a Town -initiated text amendment. The
proposed ordinance sets forth amendments which are responsive to recent federal legislation and
FCC regulations regarding wireless communication projects and deadlines for acting on
applications. There are certain eligible wireless facilities, including specific modifications to
wireless bay stations and towers, removal and replacement of transmission equipment which are
now regulated by a section of the Middle Class Tax Relief and Jobs Creation Act of 2012.
Projects governed by that act are now subject to ministerial review at the local agency level and
must be acted upon by the local agency within 60 days of application submittal.
The Town Council received a presentation on the subject by an attorney representing the Marin
Telecommunications Agency in March and requested the Town immediately adjust its zoning to
match the new federal law. The Council was alerted at that time there were five eligible facilities
in Tiburon the Act would apply to. He provided a list of the current, active wireless
communication facilities in the Town, which does not include the MERA antenna at the top of
Mt. Tiburon not under the Town's jurisdiction. There are seven applications listed, but five sites
and two of these are the Town Hall and the Fire Station to which Section 6409(a) of the Act does
not apply. Therefore, there are five sites the Town must address.
As the Commission is aware, in the 1990's the Town adopted a robust program for processing
wireless communications facility applications, which include use permit, design review and
application of the Town's wireless facility standards; however, the new federal regulations
continue to chip away at local review and discretion.
The proposed amendments would modify the Town's existing provisions to establish three tiers
of review where currently there are two. The first tier would be ministerial review for the
proposals that are governed by Section 6409(a) of the act. This section is entirely new. The
second tier of applications is streamlined discretionary review for co -location proposals that are
not governed by Section 6409(a). This section already exists because earlier federal changes had
required the Town to put in some streamlining for certain co -location facilities. The third tier is
the Town's normal approach with the CUP, design review and compliance with standards, which
is not changing.
The processing timelines for these tiers are different. It is 60 days for the first, 90 days for the
second and 150 days for the third and there are limited instances where extensions of those
deadlines can be made, either by mutual agreement or tolling through an incompleteness letter
which is also more limited than the typical incompleteness process.
Mr. Anderson said he provided the Commission with a revised page 1 of the ordinance which
incorporates changes shown in red at the bottom of the page which are clarifications of the
earlier provisions. Because the timeframe is so tight on the 60 day turnaround, staff has reduced
the normal day appeal period to 5 days in an attempt to enable the items to be enacted on.
Otherwise, they are deemed approved. In addition, staff has provided copies of the two tables in
the General Plan which are being amended.
With respect to environmental review, staff has determined at the staff level that these are
ministerially exempt because they are actions to comply with federal law, as well as
TIBURON PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES - APRIL 22, 2015 - MINUTES NO. 1053 PAGE 2
categorically exempt from further review based on minor alterations and land use limitations
under CEQA guidelines per Section 15305. The Commission's role is to consider the preliminary
CEQA determination in making its recommendation to the Town Council.
Staff recommends the Commission hold a public hearing, take testimony, consider the text
amendments contained in the draft ordinance and move to adopt the resolution recommending
approval of the text amendments to the Town Council.
Commissioner Williams asked staff to provide red -lined versions of the changes as an exhibit so
the Commission can see better what is current and what is proposed to be modified.
Commissioner Williams also confirmed with Mr. Anderson that changes are necessary to be
consistent with changes in federal law and they also were reviewed by the Town Attorney.
Commissioner Williams asked and confirmed the changes are all in relationship to Section
6409(a) of the Middle Class Tax Relief and Jobs Creation Act of 2012 and where there is not a
substantial change in the physical dimension which is one of the definitions used. Mr. Anderson
added that it was the FCC promulgating its regulations that defined terms so that agencies could
determine what they are supposed to be doing.
Commissioner Williams asked if the Town had much discretion, given federal law, and Mr.
Anderson said this is one of the determinations the telecommunications attorney made, and the
whole point of the Act was to remove local discretion. He said the Town's exposure is limited
but it is not out of the question that someone could come in and request raising the height of an
antenna 20 feet. If it is an existing facility, they could do so.
Commissioner Weller stated the way he reads the language of the statute, it deals with two
separate things—powers and the facilities that have been approved subject to stealth
requirements. It then has the question of substantial change which then defines an insubstantial
change as being less than a 20 foot increase or 10%, whichever is greater. It then goes onto imply
that, however, a substantial change to anything where a stealth requirement had been in effect
would be something that caused the stealth requirement to be violated. One implication of this is
that one could not just come in with the insubstantial change requirement if asking for a 20 foot
increase like 1 Blackfield Drive, noting that 1 Blackfield Drive is enclosed in a stealth chimney.
He asked, therefore, if the statute allows someone to come in and raise the chimney by 20 feet
and claim that that is insubstantial, when he would think that in terms of the stealth aspect of the
chimney, it would be quite substantial. He asked what is the distinction and how does it applies
specifically to 1 Blackfield Drive, which is a good example of an attempt to limit the visual
impact of these facilities.
Mr. Anderson said what the regulations put forth by the FCC say is that it cannot act to defeat the
stealth requirements of the original proposal. He said it is a bit of a grey area because if they say
all they are doing is extending the existing stealth, it is still in the chimney. They could make an
argument that it is not defeating it because the antennas still cannot be seen. On the other hand,
doubling the height of the chimney could be argued that it is defeating the stealth aspect of it as
well as possibly blocking views it did not block before, thereby defeating the stealth aspect of it.
He said staff would immediately turn to its attorneys for assistance if an application is received.
TIBURON PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES - APRIL 22, 2015 - MINUTES NO. 1053 PAGE 3
Commissioner Weller asked if it is not clear that the definition of insubstantial applies, because
to the extent, it is a clear tower with arrays at the top of it. They state that the tower can be taken
up 20 feet which seems quite different than taking a chimney up 20 feet, especially one that is 10
or fewer feet to start with. Therefore, the percentage of change, by definition, is going to be far
less than 1 Blackfield Drive because it is a good example and one of the possible subjects for this
statute. Mr. Anderson said while possibly not successful, he would not be surprised if a wireless
company made the argument that raising the chimney would still comply with the Act.
Commissioner Williams asked if this would then be decided in a court of law, given there is
debate regarding the interpretation of the Act. Mr. Anderson said the Town would need to make
the decision one way or the other. If it denied the application, the wireless company's recourse
would be to take it to court.
Commissioner Williams asked which facilities were considered "stealth". Mr. Anderson said
some of the examples are over 20 years old. The original one approved on the new fire station
cannot be seen, but he believes it is not a stealth installation but a small transmitter on part of the
building. The two Cove sites are both located in the false chimney on the Peet's Coffee part of
the building. 700 Tiburon Boulevard is the Belvedere Tennis Club and their facilities are on light
standards and in a shed and they are not particularly visible from the public street. The one at
Town Hall is located in its clock tower and is not visible. The T -Mobile facility and the AT&T
facility are not particularly screened and are rooftop. There is a parapet so there is some
screening and when looking carefully, they can be seen and are not very tall.
Commissioner Weller said his conclusion is that whatever the term "substantial" means as it
relates to existing facilities that are not tall towers is unclear and, therefore, the Town will have
to decide whether or not to approve an extension and/or fight the interpretation, and he did not
believe this was the Planning Commission's task. Mr. Anderson agreed and said the width and
height arguments are the two which the Town can look at objectively. He believes those would
be weak arguments on the Town's part, but the stealth argument perhaps offers a better
opportunity for the Town to oppose something than simply height or width because those are
black and white numbers.
Commissioner Williams referred to Section 2.B.2; "Preferred location" and asked that it be
amended to read: "The facility that -is located on a property developed predominantly with
commercial land uses;"
Commissioner Williams referred to Section 3, second sentence, and asked to separate "anyone":
"The Town Council of the Town of Tiburon hereby declares that it would have passed this
Ordinance, any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase thereof, irrespective of the fact
that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, or phrases may be declared invalid
or unconstitutional."
Chair Welner opened the public comment period and there were no speakers.
TIBURON PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES - APRIL 22, 2015 - MINUTES NO. 1053 PAGE 4
Commissioner Weller referred to Section 2.B.3 and asked for clarification on what it is saying.
He asked and confirmed that this would be an example of a new application coming into a site
where there is already a wireless installation there. He asked what "the facility" pertains to, and
Mr. Anderson said if it is a co -location, it could refer to either or both. Generally, it would be a
building or structure where there is already a wireless communication facility located, for
example, putting the second installation in the false chimney at Peet's.
Commissioner Weller asked if it refers to the existing facility that the co -location is trying to
attach to, and suggested more precision in the wording. Mr. Anderson suggested amending it to
read "the proposed facility". Commissioner Weller asked if the word in Section 2.B.1 "existing"
should go before WCF" commenting that the various words should be studied to ensure the
adjectives are correctly used. Mr. Anderson suggested using the words "new" or "proposed" to
correctly identify the type of installation and said these can be updated.
ACTION: It was M/S (Weller/Kulik) to adopt the attached Resolution recommending approval
of the text amendments, as modified, to the Town Council. Motion carried 4-0.
