Monterey, CA Affordable Housing in Pebble Beach A No Go

View From A Nonprofit Serving Seniors In Carmel, Carmel Valley, Gonzalez, Greenfield, King City, Marina, Monterey, Pacific Grove, Pebble Beach, Salinas, Seaside And Soledad California

Neighbors who live in close vicinity to the location where the Pebble Beach Company was going to build affordable housing units appear to have won the battle of getting the project cancelled.  The Pacific Grove City Council has unanimously voted to take the side of residents in the Del Monte Park area and oppose the new project.  "We are concerned that the project will have a harmful impact upon a significant number of our citizens," council members Ken Cuneo and Dan Miller wrote to the Pebble Beach Company.   The letter is also being sent to the Monterey County Board of Supervisors and the county planning commission.  The units were going to be built as part of the last development in the Del Monte Forest, which includes a new resort and spa.  However, given all of the uproar by Pebble Beach residents, the 24-unit apartment complex will likely be built somewhere else in Monterey County.
