Permit activity from January to July of this year is relatively similar to last year. For instance, the number of permits issued this year and the value of the work being done under those permits is nearly the same as last year.
In July, the City issued permits for six new accessory dwelling units, three new single-family houses, and tenant improvements for Planet Fitness (9055 Las Tunas Dr.). Case planners also received plans for five new single-family houses, a new three-unit condominium, a 26-unit apartment building, and six accessory dwelling units.
