Property development
- Residents of Santa Cruz County are reminded that the deadline to submit public comments on the zoning application for a project at 429 Coates Drive, Aptos, is fast approaching. The proposal involves renewing permit number 201023, which allows the operation of a three-bedroom vacation rental in the existing single-family home located approximately 50 feet southwest of the intersection of Coates Drive and Park Drive. The Santa Cruz County Planning Department will stop accepting public comments on this application after June 13, with a decision expected on or after June 16. The application is likely to be approved unless there are documented violations of the Vacation Rental Ordinance. Residents wishing to appeal the decision must do so within two weeks of the decision date. Any issues related to the vacation rental should be reported to the emergency contact, whose details are available at the property and on the Planning Department’s website. The application process adheres to Santa Cruz County Code section 13.10.694. (view application)
