Collaring Your Dog in the Douglas Preserve
| A plan to collar dogs at the popular Douglas Family Preserve cleared a significant hurdle Thursday night when the City Planning Commission approved an environmental impact report for the 70-acre park overlooking the ocean on Santa Barbara’s Mesa. One proposal would fence dogs in, while another would restrict the number of days they could run off-leash there. The vote is the latest development in the debate over whether to change the rules at the only city park in Santa Barbara where dogs are allowed to run free. The city is trying to strike a balance between dog owners and those without dogs. |
