In terms of the Planning Division “legalization” is the process of converting illegal and undocumented rental units to legal non-conforming units. In April 1998 The City Council adopted Resolution 98-74 to define the City’s policy the conversion of illegal and undocumented units in residential zones. Resolution 98-74 breaks these units down into three categories: Pre-April 24, 1964 in residential zones, Post-April 23, 1964 in residential zones, and Post April 23, 1964 in multiple residential zones. Applicants should apply in the Planning Division using a standard project application and include a completed City of Monterey Application for Legalization of Undocumented Dwelling Unit. For more information see Resolution 98-74 or contact the Planning Division.
