Property development
- The Santa Cruz County Planning Department is accepting public comments on a zoning application for a project at 238 Moosehead Dr. in the Aptos Planning Area through July 6.

Approval of a Vacation Rental Renewal Permit is required for this application. Residents who wish to share their input or concerns about the project must submit their comments to the Planning Department before the July 6 deadline. (view application)
