Property development

  • A permit application has been filed for 502 Loma Prieta Drive in Aptos, requesting approval to extend the expiration date of an existing Coastal Development Permit by one year. If approved, the new deadline would move from Nov. 17 to Nov. 17, 2027. The property is located approximately 275 feet from Alta Drive. This extension is necessary to keep the permit valid for any future development or construction activities planned for the site. (view details)
