Commission Approves Building of 725 Homes
From Times Wire Reports
The Santa Barbara Planning Commission on Wednesday approved what may be the largest proposed housing development in the county’s history.
The development is to include 725 units -- 494 single-family homes and 231 condominiums. A 26-acre community park and five smaller neighborhood parks are planned for the 626-acre site.
Ed Moses, director of the county’s Housing and Community Development Department, said rising home prices in the county have made new housing a necessity.
