Things to do in Aptos
Property development
- The Santa Cruz County Planning Department has received a zoning application for 627 Bayview Dr. At this time, no information about a proposed building project or specific details about the zoning application has been provided. The available text contains only arrest log entries for incidents such as drug paraphernalia, possession of controlled substances, bike theft, petty theft, and probation violations, and does not include any further details about the project at this address.

- A permit application has been filed for a remodeling project at 205 Via Campana in Aptos. The proposal involves adding 42 square feet to the existing three-bedroom, single-family home and replacing the current deck, which will bring the total size of the house to 2,799 square feet. The project will not alter the building’s height. Because the property is located within the coastal zone, a Coastal Development Permit is required before work can begin. (view details)
