Things to do in Aptos
Property development
- A permit application has been filed for a project at 107 Bennett Rd., Aptos, proposing to remodel a single-family home. The plans include converting the existing garage and utility room into a bedroom, relocating the front door, replacing and adding exterior windows, and updating a portion of the first floor. Once completed, the home will feature three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Because the property is located within the coastal zone, a Coastal Development Permit is required for this project.
