Overnight tent camping at Del Monte Beach owned by the Navy will be considered by the Monterey City Council today. It has recommended by the city Planning Commission repealing an amendment to the Del Monte Beach Coastal Land Use Plan that would prohibit tent camping on the beach or near the abandoned waste water treatment plant that once served the Naval Postgraduate School.

Susan Craig, coastal planner in the email to Kimberly Cole, a principal city planner said, the proposed plan amendment raises issues about the public access to the beach and that tent camping provides a lower cost overnight facilities along the beach in an area where there are no overnight facilities at present.

The council will convene at 4p.m. in its City Hall Chambers.
