810 3rd Street Site Improvements

The project at 810 3rd Street in Santa Cruz, California, involves permitting and site improvements to modify an existing motel property within the Beach South of Laurel Area Plan. It requires a Coastal Permit, Administrative Use Permit, and Design Permit to expand the parking lot to accommodate 25 total spaces, construct a new laundry room addition, perform utility trenching, and install a perimeter fence. The site is known to contain archaeological resources, which necessitates careful planning and compliance with preservation regulations. All work must proceed under municipal oversight to ensure alignment with local land use policies and environmental protections. The project is being coordinated through the City of Santa Cruz, with primary contact Rina Zhou, Senior Planner, overseeing the process alongside architectural input from Christian Nielsen and project management by Stephanie Strelow of Dudek. The anticipated posting date is July 24, 2026, indicating this is a forecasted opportunity for contractors or consultants to prepare for eventual procurement. The location is designated as 95060, with all activities centered on improving infrastructure while respecting the sensitive cultural and coastal environment.
