Pebble Beach Co. Proposes Ten New
Development Projects

On July 26, 2001 Pebble Beach Co. filed 10 Development Project Applications with Monterey County for an extensive expansion of commercial resort facilities and new residential lot subdivisions in Del Monte Forest. The proposed construction projects include the following:

New Golf Course (the 8th in the Forest)

The proposed new 18-hole golf course with clubhouse, restaurant, parking lot and pro shop is to be located between Peter Hay golf course and Spyglass Hill golf course. The project calls for the removal of the existing historic Equestrian Center and Collins Polo Field and sections of several roads in the area.

New Relocated Equestrian Center

A new equestrian center is proposed in the Sawmill Borrow Site in the area of S.F.B. Morse Drive and Congress Road below the Fifth Gate to the Forest on the Holman Highway 68.

Spanish Bay Resort Area

Major additions are proposed at the Spanish Bay Inn area including new buildings for 91 new guest rooms, 14,040 sq. ft. of additional meeting room space, a new 2 level

underground garage under the existing tennis courts.

A new golf driving range, parking lot and building for golf teaching are proposed on the south side of Congress Road near the entrance to Spanish Bay Inn. Four new two story buildings with 12 employee housing units are proposed at the southwest corner of 17 Mile Drive and Congress Road near the Spanish Bay complex.

Pebble Beach Lodge Area

Major building additions are proposed at The Lodge area including 63 new guest rooms (20 units in a new building, called "The Colton Building", and 43 units in a new building complex on the site of the existing "Fairway One House" which will be removed).

Two new underground garages with 149 parking spaces under the new Fairway One building complex and 224 parking spaces under the existing parking area near the gas service station on 17 Mile Drive near The Lodge. Parking and traffic circulation realignment is proposed in the area north of The Lodge.

Renovation and additions are proposed for meeting rooms and house support rooms at The Lodge. This will involve the addition of approximately 3,750 sq. ft. of new facilities.

New Hotel Golf Cottage Units

Eleven new hotel buildings, called "Golf Cottages" with a total of 24 guest suites are proposed along the 17th fairway of the proposed new golf course near the intersection of Stevenson Drive and Spyglass Hill Road. The 4-acre site for this commercial construction must be rezoned from Medium Density Residential to Visitor Serving Commercial to allow this expansion of commercial operations in a residential area.

Employee Housing at Corporate Yard

Forty-eight clustered employee housing units in eight new two story buildings near the Pebble Beach Company Corporate offices are proposed at Haul Road, northeast of the intersection of Sunridge and Lopez Roads.

New Residential Subdivisions

Thirty-three new residential lots are proposed in the following areas:

• 10 lots in Area F-2 north of Lopez Road with a new access road in the area of Poppy Hills golf course.

• 4 lots in Area F-3 west of Sunridge Road, north of Lopez Road with a new access road and lots along the 10th fairway of Poppy Hills golf course.

• 11 lots in Area I-2 north of Viscaino and Ronda Roads at Lisbon Lane, along the south side of Poppy Hills golf course.

• 7 lots in Area PQR. Four of these lots are off Griffin Road near Spruance Road and three of these lots are south of Sunridge Rd. near Atajo Way.

• 1 lot in Area K south of Stevenson Drive and Spyglass Hill golf course near Spyglass Woods Drive.

Forest Preservation

The PB Co. July 17th Project Description document describes locations of tracts of forested open space that will be formally preserved.

Measure "A" (Amendments to the Del Monte Forest Land Use Plan) Must be Certified by the Coastal Commission Before New Development Applications Can Be Processed

A June 15, 2001 letter from Scott Hennessy, County Planning Director, advised that "The County's current approach is to have Measure A, and related environmental data, presented to the Coastal Commission in time for them to review the initiative (Measure A) and make a determination on ratification prior to the County's final approval of the specific development applications..."

Applications and Maps are Available

Copies of PB Co's. 10 Applications and maps are available for public review at:

• Pebble Beach Community Services District, Forest Lake & Lopez Rds. Pebble Beach

• Monterey County Planning Dept.. Offices in both Courthouse Buildings, 1210 Aguajito Rd., Monterey, and 240 Church St. in Salinas

• Monterey City Public Library, 625 Pacific St.

Public Hearings in 2002 or 2003

A County Planning Department Representative has estimated that processing the P. B. Co. applications and developing Environmental Impact Reports will take more than a year. Therefore Public Hearings probably won't be held until late 2002 or early 2003.
