841 Capitola Road Multifamily Building (DP 241371)
Santa Cruz County
Description
A five-story, 57-unit apartment building with four affordable units, approved under the builder's remedy and state density bonus law after the Planning Commission approval was appealed. The board denied the ADU conversion concession but revised the affordable housing impact fee condition and gave the applicant flexibility on Capitola Road access.
Impact summary
Adds 57 homes, including four affordable units, to Live Oak; neighbors remain concerned about access via Gray Seal Road and neighborhood compatibility, and litigation is possible.
