THE OWNER OF THE CINELUX MOVIE THEATRE IN CAPITOLA PLANS TO EXPAND THE THEATER INTO THE SPACE THAT WAS THE HOME OF THE CAPITOLA BOOK CAFÉ FOR MORE THAN 3 DECADES. AS PART OF THE EXPANSION, THE MOVIE THEATER WILL BE ENLARGED FROM 3 TO 8 SCREENS. THE OWNER ALSO PLANS TO ADD WINE AND TAPAS BARS TO THE FACILITY. THE CURRENT PLAN, WHICH HAS BEEN APPROVED BY CAPITOLA PLANNING COMMISSIONERS INCLUDES A 50 FOOT TOWER WITH AN ILLUMINATED ART DECO-STYLED SIGN ON THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING ADJACENT TO THE RITE AIDE STORE. THE EXPANDED MOVIE THEATER WOULD HAVE THE SAME ARCHITECT AND BUILDER AS THE SCOTTS VALLEY CINELUX.
