Which British consulate covers Monterey?

California is split between Los Angeles (“southern California”) and San Francisco (“Northern California”), and gov.uk publishes no county list. We place Monterey, in Monterey County, with the British Consulate General in San Francisco; that is our reading, so check with either office if it matters.

A British consulate here does not renew passports or issue visas: gov.uk says so on each office page. At the British Consulate General in San Francisco you go in for an emergency travel document or a notarial appointment.
