About Upper
Village
Upper Village, located between Capitola Village and the Soquel Creek corridor, is a residential and hillside Capitola neighborhood with ocean-breeze overlooks and winding, tree-lined streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Capitola Road and 41st Avenue area, where surf-and-skate storefronts, coffee counters, and small local services set a casual, coastal rhythm. Housing leans toward mid-century ranch homes and updated cottages, with pockets of apartments near the main corridors. New Brighton State Beach and the bluffs shape daily routines with shoreline walks and sunset viewpoints. Capitola Village adds galleries, patios, and a compact main-street feel without leaving the hill. Shadowbrook Restaurant and the Capitola Historical Museum serve as local touchstones for dining and story-keeping.

RM-L
Residential Multifamily, Low Density District
The purpose of the RM zoning district is to accommodate a range of housing types to serve all Capitola residents. The RM zoning district allows single-family and multifamily housing at higher densities to maintain and increase the supply of affordable housing choices. Housing in the RM zoning district will be carefully designed to enhance Capitola’s unique identity and to minimize impacts on adjacent land uses and structures. The RM zone is divided into three subzones (RM-L, RM-M, and RM-H) allowing for a range of permitted residential densities.
