717 Woodcrest Lane Expansion of Nonconforming Residence

Monterey

Description

A plan to replace an unpermitted wood deck with a concrete retaining-wall landing and balcony extending to the property line — denied after neighbors described late-night noise and privacy problems.

Impact summary

The Planning Commission denied it on Aug 25, 2026.

The landing would have sat directly on the shared property line, potentially complicating a neighbor's fence plans and preserving an outdoor hangout spot outside five bedrooms.
