Property development
- The Santa Cruz County Planning Department is currently accepting public comments on a zoning application for 479 Oyster Dr., where the project proposes to renew a permit for a three-bedroom vacation rental in an existing single-family home. The renewal would allow overnight lodging for up to 30 days at a time and extend the permit expiration date from Dec. 15, 2025, to Dec. 15, 2030. Residents who wish to provide input on this application must submit their comments before the deadline of May 7, as no public comments will be accepted after that date. (view application)
