Planning Commission Meeting // September 22, 2026

The City of Monterey Planning Commission held a meeting on September 22, 2026, where they approved consent items including meeting minutes and a sign permit. A significant agenda item was the public hearing and approval of an amendment to the parking management plan for the Ocean Harbor House condominium development at 1 and 125 Surf Way. The amendment proposed decommissioning 34 mechanical car lifts that were deemed obsolete and underutilized, thereby converting those spaces into regular garage parking spaces and effectively increasing usable parking capacity. The Planning Commission unanimously approved the amendment, finding it consistent with the original planned unit development and beneficial to residents. Additionally, the meeting included updates on city council actions such as the reallocation of $1.5 million from the Hauser Successor Agency Fund to support predevelopment costs for the Mid Pen housing project. Upcoming Planning Commission agenda items were also noted, including a capital improvement project and other development proposals.
