Architectural Board of Review - June 8, 2026

The City of Santa Barbara Architectural Board of Review convened on June 8, 2026, to discuss two main projects. The first was a concept review for a redevelopment project at 214 and 220 Anacapa Street involving a change of use from an auto sales agency to a fast food restaurant with outdoor seating, including new accessory structures and landscaping. The board provided feedback on design elements such as lighting, bike parking, landscaping, and materials, and approved the concept with recommendations for further refinement. The second project was a concept review for a new long-term parking lot at 404 Moffett Place at the airport, including ADA and EV charging spaces, removal of aircraft hangars, and security fence reconfiguration. The board discussed landscaping, fencing materials, tree reduction requests, and circulation improvements, ultimately supporting the project with conditions to enhance landscaping and approve a reduction in tree requirements. Both projects will proceed to further planning commission review and staff approvals. No contract awards or procurement decisions were made during this meeting.
