Property development
- The Santa Cruz County Planning Department is currently accepting public comments on a zoning application to renew an existing permit for a two-bedroom, non-hosted short-term rental at 230 Rio Del Mar Blvd., Unit G, in the Aptos Planning Area. The proposed permit renewal would continue to allow overnight lodging for periods of up to 30 days at a time. Residents who wish to provide input on this application must submit their comments before the deadline of Sept. 15. (view application)
- A permit application has been filed for a project at 342 Treasure Island Dr. in Aptos, proposing the removal of two existing 4-foot-tall wooden retaining walls and their replacement with two new 4-foot-tall concrete retaining walls in the same locations on the property. Because the site is located within the coastal zone, the work requires a Coastal Development Permit. (view details)
