Participate in Monterey 2031 - General Plan Update - Listening Sessions

We Want to Hear from You! Monterey 2031 is an important citywide project that involves updates to the Housing, Land Use, and Safety Elements of the City of Monterey General Plan (see Important Links to view the General Plan last amended 2019) to respond to emerging issues and new State laws. As the project begins, we invite you to participate in a discussion of key issues, challenges, and opportunities that will need to be considered and addressed in the general plan update.

The City will host a series of Listening Sessions, on December 6, 7, and 8, 2022, to directly connect to community members and provide a forum for residents to learn about the project, voice their priorities, and share their perspectives on the issues and opportunities that will need to be addressed. Held at the Conference Center, each 50- minute listening session will be a facilitated small group discussion on topics such as housing, land use, community character, climate resilience, and emergency preparedness.

SIGN UP TO PARTICIPATE: Participation is only available in person. These sessions will be recorded and posted to the Have Your Say Monterey website. To participate in a 50-minute listening session at the Monterey Conference Center on either December 6, 7, or 8 (AM and PM options available) use this link to select the dates and times you are available: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/SVKLLNN A confirmation email will be sent, although not immediately, to those that have registered.
