Santa Lucia Preserve Lot 207: New Home, ADU and Barn Considered at 23 San Clemente Trail

SANTA LUCIA PRESERVE, Monterey County — October 29, 2026. A separate Monterey County development application concerns Lot 207 at 23 San Clemente Trail, within Phase C of Santa Lucia Preserve. The county scheduled the administrative hearing for June 3, 2026, under PLN250382 and legislative file AP 26-050.

What is included?

The submitted plans call for a new 2,997-square-foot single-family home, an attached 737-square-foot accessory dwelling unit (ADU) and a 629-square-foot two-car garage, connected with a 925-square-foot covered breezeway. The project also includes 595 square feet of uncovered decks, a 65-linear-foot retaining wall, a 576-square-foot detached barn, a new septic system and associated landscaping.

How much earthwork is proposed?

County planning documents estimate approximately 289 cubic yards of cut and 263 cubic yards of fill. These figures describe planned grading, not a measured final amount removed from the property. The application includes design details such as stucco siding, wood fascia, metal roofing and other materials subject to the actual permit.

Is this a new housing development across Santa Lucia Preserve?

No. The item is a specific building application for one identified lot, not a wholesale rezoning or authorization for additional subdivisions. The lot has assessor’s parcel number 239-131-007-000, and the county lists the Greater Monterey Peninsula Area Plan as the applicable planning area.

Did the state or county approve it?

The administrative planning staff recommended approval with three conditions, and recommended a Class 3 environmental exemption for small new construction. But the public listing viewed for this article does not display a verified final action. The applicant’s intent, staff recommendation and eventual issued permit are different stages.

Why local reporting matters

Residents may want to follow driveway access, grading, wastewater facilities and the limits of future development in the Preserve. The authoritative documents are the executed planning decision and building permits, not an assumption that the hearing agenda automatically authorized construction.
