Title

Pacific Grove Housing Element Update, Zoning Ordinance Amendments, and General Plan Amendments

Description

The proposed project consists of the following components: 1) Housing Element update, which includes a program to upzone sites in the Downtown Commercial and Forest Hill Commercial Districts and rezone sites in the Dennett, Sinex, and Grove Acre District; 2) Zoning Amendments to implement Housing Element Programs, including updates to the zoning map; and 3) associated General Plan Amendments. The draft Housing Element was submitted to the California Housing and Community Development (HCD) for review on November 2, 2023; December 20, 2024; and May 21, 2025, and is undergoing revisions to address HCD comments. The zoning amendments would include modifications to the Zoning Code to meet target densities as well as compliance with State housing laws as identified in the Housing Element. The Land Use Element would be updated for consistency with the Housing Element Update and Zoning Amendments. The Health and Safety Element would involve updated information, policies, and implementation measures consistent with the current requirements of state law. This includes additional details related to evacuation routes and emergency access.
