307 Chestnut Street Residence

The contract involves the demolition of an existing single-family home at 307 Chestnut Street in Santa Cruz, California, and its reconstruction with a new dwelling of comparable size and within the same footprint, maintaining the original property boundaries. The project is situated within the Santa Cruz Downtown Historic District, requiring adherence to preservation guidelines and contextual design standards. As part of the work, two heritage-sized trees on the property must be removed, necessitating compliance with local tree protection ordinances and potential mitigation measures. The project is forecasted by the City of Santa Cruz, with no set-aside provisions identified, and is targeted for completion following standard municipal permitting and review processes. Key contacts include Rina Zhou as the Senior Planner, Stephanie Strelow as the Project Manager from Dudek, and Peter Cook as the property owner, ensuring coordinated oversight from municipal, engineering, and private interests. The project's official record is accessible through the CEQA Net portal, reflecting its environmental review status and public documentation.
