Property development
- A permit application has been filed for a project at 320 35th Ave., Santa Cruz, proposing to remodel and expand the existing single-family home. The plans include adding 162 square feet to the second story, constructing a new 637 square-foot rooftop deck on the first story, and replacing the current flat roof with a gable/hip roof design. This change would increase the building’s height from 18 to 27 feet. Because the property is located in the coastal zone, a Coastal Development Permit is required for the project. (view details)
