General
Plan Garners Approval
The City’s updated General Plan, which guides the shape and feel of our
community, was approved by the City Council early this year.
This document provides direction on where new development should be built,
addresses future transportation/circulation issues and shapes affordable
housing opportunities.
A committee, composed of community members, drafted the sustainable plan
that successfully made it through rigorous reviews. One unique element of
the plan encourages mixed-use development (residential units above
commercial businesses) in mixed-use neighborhoods to help meet affordable
housing goals and promote economic growth, e.g. Osio Plaza on Alvarado
Street includes a theater, retail and apartments.
To review the General Plan, visit the Planning Division or
www.monterey.org/generalplan.
Crews Weather Storm
Challenges Well
City crews were busy day and night this winter
clearing fallen trees and branches from roads within the Skyline Forest and
Veterans Memorial Park areas.
Heavy winds and rain brought nearly 10 inches of rain to the Peninsula
between Christmas and New Year’s Day alone. Even with minor flooding and
several felled trees, fortunately, there were no injuries or significant
property damage.
Our Urban Forestry team works throughout the year to keep our many trees and
greenbelt area healthy, safe and beautiful.
