Skyline Forest, located between Highway 68 and the Del Monte Forest, is a residential and wooded Monterey neighborhood with winding hillside streets and a quiet, pine-scented setting. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Highway 68 corridor near the Skyline Forest Drive area, where a small cluster of local services and trailhead traffic sets a practical, outdoors-forward tone. Housing leans toward mid-century and ranch-style homes tucked into mature trees, with frequent glimpses of open space. The pace feels defined by morning dog walks and weekend hikes rather than nightlife. Nearby cultural anchors like the Monterey Museum of Art, Golden State Theatre, and the historic Presidio of Monterey add a city-center counterpoint to the forested calm.

Planned Community District
Establish a procedure for the development of large parcels of land in order to reduce or eliminate the rigidity, delays, and conflicts that otherwise would result from application of zoning standards and procedures designed primarily for small parcels; Ensure orderly and thorough planning and review procedures that will result in quality urban design; Encourage variety and avoid monotony in large developments by allowing greater freedom in selecting the means to provide access, light, open space, and amenity; Provide a mechanism whereby the City may authorize desirable developments, consistent with the General Plan and applicable area plans or specific plans, without inviting speculative rezoning applications, which, if granted, often could deprive other owners of development opportunities without resulting in construction of the proposed facilities; Encourage allocation and improvement of common open space in residential areas, and provide for maintenance of the open space at the expense of those who will directly benefit from it; Encourage the assembly of properties that might otherwise be developed in unrelated increments to the detriment of surrounding neighborhoods.
