What do they deal with?
Composed of seven members, the Commission creates a vision
for future development in the City. To define that vision, the members:
- Conduct research on growth and development.
- Establish community development objectives.
- Outline planning strategies to achieve the community’s
objectives.
During the decision-making process, the Commission relies on the City’s
General Plan and Zoning Ordinance. The General Plan, which governs the
City’s physical shape and character, is our major policy document.
Monterey’s General Plan was adopted in 2005 and is reviewed on an annual
basis. The General Plan can be found on the Web at:
www.monterey.org/generalplan/ . In
addition, the City has adopted specific area plans for various commercial
and residential neighborhoods.
In order to carry out its responsibilities, the Commission
also considers subdivision ordinances, the State Planning Law and the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
As part of the work program, the Commission:
- develops and maintains a General Plan
- develops more specific area plans to augment the General
Plan
- develops zoning and subdivision ordinances to implement the
plans
- performs annual reviews and makes recommendations to the
City Council on the Capital Improvement Program and Neighborhood Improvement Program
- reviews development applications for their compliance with
City plans, ordinances and programs
