Mixed-use housing and hotel project on Monterey Street

Summary

A four-story Spanish Mission-style building at 1235-1239 Monterey Street would add 12 homes (two affordable), two hotel suites, and small commercial space near Heritage Plaza. Commissioners want a plainer rear wall improved before the project gets its final approval.

Impact analysis

💰Financial impact

Adds new downtown housing — including two affordable units — and hotel rooms, though parking reductions under the density bonus mean fewer spaces than standard requirements.

✅Who benefits

Future homeowners, renters, hotel guests, and downtown businesses hoping for more foot traffic.

⚠️Who could be affected

Neighbors along the rear property line could face a tall, plain wall unless the required redesign improves it.
