Chapter 23.31 — COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL ZONING DISTRICTS

This chapter lists the commercial and industrial zoning districts as established by PGMC § 23.12.010 and establishes the development standards and types of land uses permitted in each commercial and industrial zoning district.

(Ord. 13-003 § 2, 2013; Ord. 26-003, 1/21/2026)

• (a) Light Commercial (C-1). The C-1 zoning district provides for neighborhood scale and locally oriented retail, service, office uses, as well as residential uses.

• (b) Light Commercial and Hotel (C-1-T). The C-1-T zoning district was enacted by citizen initiative, and the standards of the district are included in the applicable sections of this chapter without modification from the initiative.

  • (1) Intent of District. The intent of the C-1-T district as described by the initiative is as follows:

    • (A) It is the intent of the people of the city of Pacific Grove in enacting the ordinance codified in this chapter to establish a zone district in the city's downtown area where hotel use is permitted, as are all other uses listed in the C-1 district of this code, as said district may be from time to time amended by the council. The people have determined that the area of downtown defined by subsection (b)(2) of this section is appropriate for hotel development. Further, except as modified by this chapter, all provisions of the motel/hotel regulation ballot measure enacted by the people at the June 3, 1986, special municipal election, as set out at Chapter 23.52 PGMC, shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect.

    • (B) It is also the intent of the people of the city of Pacific Grove in enacting the ordinance codified in this chapter to provide for an exception to the strict regulations governing condominium development at Chapter 23.45 PGMC, said section enacted by the people at an election held in the city on November 2, 1982. The people have determined that the area of the downtown defined in subsection (b)(2) of this section is appropriate for condominium development in a manner less restrictive than defined by regulations set out in Chapter 23.45 PGMC. Further, except as modified by this chapter, the provisions of Chapter 23.45 PGMC shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect.

  • (2) Boundaries of District. The C-1-T district shall be that area defined by the block bounded by Lighthouse Avenue, Grand Avenue, Central Avenue and Fountain Avenue.

  • (3) Amendment. No provision of the C-1-T zoning district shall be repealed or amended except by a vote of the people.

• (c) Downtown Commercial (C-D). The C-D zoning district is intended to provide for a range of uses including retail, restaurants, services, entertainment, and upper floor residential, and other compatible uses which enhance the vitality and character of the city's historic

commercial core.

• (d) Forest Hill Commercial (C-FH). The C-FH zoning district serves as an entrance to the city, offering a variety of commercial and service uses, as well as residential uses, while respecting nearby residential uses.

• (e) Heavy Commercial (C-2). The C-2 zoning district is applied to areas of the city that are appropriate for limited residential uses, service commercial and light manufacturing uses, which may involve outdoor storage or activity areas.

• (f) Visitor Commercial (C-V). The C-V zoning district is applied to areas of the city appropriate for retail sales, commercial services, and institutional uses oriented to tourism.

• (g) Restricted Industrial (I). The I zoning district is applied to areas of the city that are appropriate for limited commercial uses, service commercial and light manufacturing uses, which may involve outdoor storage or activity areas.

• (Ord. 13-003 § 2, 2013; Ord. 26-003, 1/21/2026)

• (a) Boundaries of District. The C-V-ATC zoning district shall apply to the American Tin Cannery site that is comprised of Assessor's Parcel Numbers 006-231-001, 006-234-004, and 006-234-005 and that segment of Sloat Avenue that is continuous to the American Tin Cannery site.

• (b) Uses Permitted. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Pacific Grove Municipal Code, the following uses shall be permitted in the C-V-ATC zoning district:

  • (1) Hotels and any accessory uses, such as restaurants, bars and lounges, meeting and event facilities, spa and fitness facilities, parking, and buildings, spaces, and structures incidental to such uses, subject to first securing a use permit.

  • (2) All uses that are permitted in the C-V zoning district and additional uses permitted by subsequent amendment to the zoning ordinance.

• (c) Development Standards. Development standards in the C-V-ATC zoning district, including floor area coverage, density, setbacks and height limits shall be in accordance with the applicable standards set forth in the local Coastal Program Land Use Plan, as updated or amended, or if no such standards are provided in the local Coastal Program Land Use Plan, as updated or amended, in accordance with the standards set forth in the use permit or other required permit for a use allowed in the C-V-ATC zoning district.

• (d) Except as modified by this section, all provisions of the motel/hotel regulation ballot measure enacted by the people at the June 3, 1986, special election, as set out at Chapter 23.52 PGMC, shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect.

• (Ord. 16-009A § 1, 2016; Ord. 26-003, 1/21/2026)
