Capitola City Council · Thursday, September 10, 2026, 6:00 PM · Item D · General Government / Public Hearings
Zoning rewrite on community benefit incentives, ADUs and body art studios
In plain English
The council would introduce an ordinance that replaces Chapter 17.88 on incentives for community benefits, moves village hotel incentives into a new Chapter 17.90, amends the accessory dwelling unit rules in Chapter 17.74, repeals the tattoo establishment chapter and adds body art studio rules to the mixed use, commercial/industrial, supplemental regulations and glossary chapters. It would also send the changes to the California Coastal Commission for Local Coastal Program certification and approve a policy for selecting body art service providers.
