Conditional UseDeniedMurphy Avenue, Samoa
Sandy Toes Conditional Use Permit and Special Permit
Humboldt County
Description
A two-bedroom cottage bought in 2024 and already renting was denied because it's a 'new' rental exceeding Samoa's concentration limits; the owner said she paid $6,500 expecting approval.
Impact summary
The Planning Commission denied it on Jun 4, 2026.
The cottage can't operate as a vacation rental; continued operation would become a code enforcement issue.
