New Legislation (Grover Beach City Council)

The following are Ordinances adopted by the Grover Beach City Council, which may amend and be incorporated into the Grover Beach Municipal Code, and may not yet reflected in either print or digital versions of the Code.

Please Note: The Table of Contents for the Grover Beach Municipal Code is to be updated to incorporate changes as a result of amending Article IX Planning and Zoning Regulations now referred to as "the Development Code" (pursuant to Ordinance No. 12-06, adopted in October 2012 and Ordinance No. 14-04 adopted in July 2014). Cross references to Article IX in the Index and Ordinance Disposition List to the Municipal Code may therefore no longer be applicable.
