The latest
We sued the City of Monterey to remove a parcel of land within Tarpy Flats from the City’s RHNA plan. We objected based on the argument that this property was unsuitable for development based on all the arguments raised in Dr. Hogan’s PEIR letter to the County (see tab “Resources”) and for those reasons, should not be on the City’s RHNA plan.
Judge Wills did not rule on the merits of our arguments that the land was unsuitable for development. He ruled that the City did not have to consider these arguments to place the land on their RHNA plan. He stated that our arguments should be raised during the CEQA process.
Since that time, the owners of that particular parcel of land (The Monterey Peninsula Unified School District) is considering to place the land in a “surplus” category, which would allow them to sell the land. We plan to work with a conservation group (such as the Big Sur Land Trust) to purchase and protect the land from future development.
