Zoning Administrator Meeting // June 4, 2026

The City of Monterey Zoning Administrator meeting held on June 4, 2026, primarily addressed a use permit application (UP 260047) for outdoor seating at 301 Lighthouse Avenue, intended for a future business called Reve Cafe. Staff presented the project details, including compliance with the Lighthouse Specific Plan and relevant zoning guidelines. The proposal included three outdoor tables and seven chairs, with conditions such as obtaining an encroachment permit and maintaining a minimum 7-foot unencumbered sidewalk width. However, staff had not yet field-verified the sidewalk measurements or accounted for vertical obstructions. The applicant was not present to respond to questions, so the item was continued to the June 18 meeting with a directive for staff to verify the sidewalk clearance and provide further analysis. No contract awards, budget allocations, or procurement decisions were discussed during this meeting.
