Capitola City Planning 07/16/2026

The Capitola City Planning Commission meeting held on July 16, 2026, focused primarily on two key agenda items related to local development and event permitting. The commission approved a coastal development permit for a temporary event at 1400 Wharf Road, which includes a large dinner event on the city-owned wharf. This approval allows the police department to administratively manage similar special events in the future, streamlining the permitting process. Additionally, the commission reviewed and approved a rehabilitation project for 200 Monterey, involving restoration and conversion of part of a historic mixed-use building, including adding two residential units and minor exterior modifications. The project includes compliance with historic preservation standards and parking requirements, with an affordable housing impact fee applied. The meeting also included updates on local infrastructure projects, zoning code revisions, and coastal resiliency planning, with no direct procurement or contract awards discussed.
