The Proposed Project is zoned as MDR-CZ (Medium Density Residential (Coastal Zone)) and RC-CZ (Resource Conservation (Coastal Zone)).

Document Description
The Carmel Woods and Pescadero Road Sewer Main Rehabilitation Project (Project) is located on two sites in a residential area located primarily within unincorporated Monterey County, with a small portion of the Project occurring within the northern limits of the City of Carmel-by-the-Sea. The Pescadero Road component of the Project would consist of constructing a new sewer main in Pescadero Road and abandoning a portion of the existing sewer main in the hillside located behind nearby residential connections. The Carmel Woods component of the Project consists of the replacement and/or rehabilitation of approximately 14,850 LF of existing deteriorated 6-inch diameter vitrified clay pipe gravity sewer main with new polyvinyl chloride or high-density polyethylene sewer mains or installation of a lining system. The majority of the sewer mains would be replaced and/or rehabilitated along the existing alignments where feasible. However, several sewer segments would be realigned to improve ease of maintenance. Replacing and rehabilitating the damaged sewer mains at the Pescadero Road and Carmel Woods sites is necessary to continue to provide reliable service to the District’s customers and minimize the potential for sewer spills in the future. The rehabilitated sewer main would continue to be used to convey wastewater for District customers located along Pescadero Road, whose service laterals directly connect to the sewer main to be replaced, while the majority of existing flows to this sewer main would be redirected to the new sewer main.
