A. Construction and Maintenance. The approved project shall be constructed and maintained indefinitely as shown on the approved plans unless a formal request for revision or a subsequent application is approved by the Planning Commission or City Manager, as applicable. Approvals by any other department, division, board, or agency, within the City of Monterey or otherwise, that are inconsistent with the approved conditions shall not be considered to supersede or negate the Planning Commission approval. Failure to maintain the project in its approved condition constitutes a violation of the Municipal Code.

B. Duration and Extension. If a building or grading permit has not been granted, or if a project not requiring a building or grading permit has not been completed within two years of the date of final review approval, or if a complete application for final review is not submitted within two years of the date of preliminary review approval, the approval shall be null and void, unless extended by the Planning Commission or the City Manager or designee, whomever granted the original approval. Requests for extensions shall be made in writing prior to the expiration date.

The Monterey City Code is current through Ordinance 3716, passed February 3, 2026.
