SANTA CRUZ >> A new co-housing development is in the works for a 13.6-acre plot just north of the City of Santa Cruz — and organizers are looking for locals to join as future residents.
The proposed project at the end of Monte Street next to Carbonera Creek is in unincorporated Santa Cruz County, just north of the City of Santa Cruz. The initial vision includes a community house for meals and gatherings, and two-thirds of the property as open space accessible to neighbors. But most details, including the size or design of the buildings, will be determined as future residents join the group and help shape the plans.
“The whole point of co-housing is to be collaborative, and so we are together going to determine what the look of it is,” said Wesley Cheng, who plans to be a future resident.
