SUMMARY/DISCUSSION
The project site is located at 24703 Camino Del Monte Street, within the Carmel Area Land Use Plan. The Applicant submitted an application on June 10, 2026 seeking to use their existing single-family dwelling located in a residentially zoned neighborhood as a Commercial Vacation Rental. Therefore, applicable permits and licenses must be approved and issued prior to the property being used as a commercial vacation rental. The site is developed with a single-family dwelling, attached carport, and front deck. The surrounding area is developed with single-family dwellings, the Forest Hills tennis court, and several Monterey-Salinas Transit bus stops.
Staff is recommending the County of Monterey Zoning Administrator continue the hearing on the project to a date uncertain until such a time the Board of Supervisors provides direction regarding density within the medium density residential zoning districts of the unincorporated Carmel Area.
