The issues they're complaining about are an increase in air traffic in recent years, and alleged changes in flight routes.


Excerpt:

This year, Monterey Airport saw double-digit passenger growth for the third consecutive year. And earlier in the summer, the airport broke ground on a $200 million project to build a new passenger terminal.​
​
Concerns over MRY have begun reverberating throughout the neighborhood. Runyon is part of a group of locals who say they’re fed up with the noise issues spurred by MRY’s increased popularity. They found an ally with a newly elected airport commissioner who campaigned on the noise issue.​
​
Hoping to rein in MRY, a proposal would reinstate nearly 50-year-old ordinances that MRY had previously passed — but are unenforced. They would limit airport activity, but the Monterey Peninsula Airport District wishes to dissolve them since they conflict with federal law.​

Not a lawyer and don't play one on TV nor the internet, but IIRC Federal law supersedes state laws, as well as municipal ordinances.
 
An elected airport commissioner who ran against the airport.
 
Nobody can promise that the road by your house or the airport up the street won’t see more traffic next year or in subsequent years. It is called growth.
