Single Family Design Review Board - September 21, 2026

The City of Santa Barbara's Single Family Design Review Board convened on September 21, 2026, to review multiple residential design projects, including accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and home additions. Key procurement-related discussions focused on project design approvals, neighborhood compatibility findings, and hillside findings for new construction and remodels. The board approved the design for a new ADU at 3102 Ccliffe, emphasizing compatibility with existing architecture and landscape. Another significant project at 2339 Edgewater Way involved abatement of an enforcement case, demolition, and new construction, with the board granting project design approval after reviewing landscaping, screening, and massing details. A third project at 128 Los Alurus Road proposed a third-floor addition to an existing two-story residence; the board provided feedback requesting further study on materials, color palettes, and neighborhood compatibility, and moved to continue the project indefinitely for further review. Throughout, the board addressed environmental compliance, tree removals, and public scenic views, and noted appeal periods for decisions. No direct contract awards or procurement actions were discussed, but the meeting centered on design approvals that could influence future construction contracts and vendor opportunities in the city.
