Coastal Panel wants stricter rules on residential development

Santa Barbara’s quirky “funk zone,” known for it’s surfboard makers, welders, artisans and homes sprinkled throughout, could get pushed out by luxury condos if the city doesn’t place stricter rules on residential development in the area.

The issue will come before the California Coastal Commission on Wednesday. Most of the people involved in the debate seem to agree that they don’t want to see a glut of luxury condos, like the ones being built on Yanonali St. But the city and the Coastal Commission are quarreling over what might be the best way to achieve that goal.

City planners and City Council members said that they don’t want to see condos spurt up in the area. But they would prefer that the city review each project on its merits, and not have their hands tied by stricter rules handed down by the Coastal Commission
