The Scotts Valley city administration reported that it is fully staffed, which is helping the city move toward economic recovery after challenges faced in 2020. The city's housing landscape is expanding, with ongoing projects totaling 165 units and several accessory dwelling unit projects. These projects often operate under state laws, such as Assembly Bill 2011 and Senate Bill 330, which allow developers to bypass public hearings.
