PROPOSED PROJECT:
On July 28, 2025, the ALUC adopted Resolution No. 25-003, which found the City of Monterey’s ALUC application to consider a proposed conversion of an existing 11,177 Square Foot commercial office building into a new Montessori Community School (“project” or “proposed project”) inconsistent with the 2019 Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (“ALUCP”) for Monterey Regional Airport. The subject property is located at 2400 Garden Road, Monterey (APN: 013-322-008-000). The Montessori Community School provides infant and toddler daycare and educational programs for children up to 6 years old. The proposed project included the demolition and reconstruction of approximately 8,136 square feet of the interior portions of the upper floor area of the existing office building to accommodate new classroom spaces and support areas. Additional site improvements included construction of a new waste enclosure, reconfiguration of the parking lot to meet current standards and providing the required number of parking spaces, and modifications to existing landscaped areas. The project also proposed new exterior playground areas to support outdoor activities for the daycare/school. (Attachment D)
