Zoning Administrator Meeting // September 03, 2026

The City of Monterey Zoning Administrator held a meeting on September 3, 2026, to review and approve use permit applications related to property use and development. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of a use permit for converting an existing commercial office building at 3132 Carmelito Avenue into a single-family dwelling, with conditions such as ensuring legal easements for shared driveway access and compliance with setback requirements. Another significant item was the approval of a use permit for retail sales and outdoor food product sales at 899 Lighthouse Avenue, which included conditions to limit the outdoor sales area, require installation of protective bollards, and mandate that accessory equipment like forklifts be stored out of public view. The zoning administrator emphasized compliance with conditions of approval and noted that decisions are appealable to the Planning Commission. No direct contract awards or budget allocations were discussed, but the meeting focused on regulatory approvals that could impact future property development and business operations in the city.
