Welcome

As the Architectural Team working on the future of the Capitola Wharf, we are excited to share the prepared options for the future of the Capitola Wharf with the community. This is a space for open dialogue, community collaboration, and shared visioning. We want to hear from you!

Your Input will help us shape a wharf that honors Capitola's history and creates a vibrant future for all of us. Thank you for being part of this important conversation.

Wharf Design Options

Please Note:

The images shown in the options are examples from other locations used for conceptual purposes only. The final design with layout, structures, materials, and colors will be created in future steps.

HOW WILL THE CITY PAY FOR THE WHARF IMPROVEMENTS :

For Options 1 through 5 : The City may utilize grant money and/or general fund money. For the larger, more expensive structures shown in Options 6 & 7, a public / private partnership would be required, in which a private investor pays for the commercial structures and leases the space from the City.
