Things to do in Aptos
Property development
- A permit application has been filed for a significant residential project at 158 Via Medici in Aptos. The proposed work includes adding 580 square feet to the existing two-story, 1,970-square-foot single-family home, constructing a new 230-square-foot deck, remodeling 575 square feet of the interior, and replacing the 880-square-foot driveway. Due to the size of the addition and the sensitive location of the property, special permits are required for this project. (view details)
- The Santa Cruz County Planning Department is currently accepting public comments on a zoning application for a proposed project at 204 Forest Dr. in the Aptos Planning Area. The project seeks approval to establish a new one-bedroom short-term rental, where guests could stay for up to 30 days at a time. This rental would not be hosted by the property owner and requires a permit for this specific use. Residents who wish to provide input or express concerns about the project must submit their comments by Nov. 19. (view application)
