Housing and Sustainable Communities Committees
Look at the Future
Join the Housing and Sustainable Communities Committee on Friday, May 6, as we look at the future of housing in the South County that maximizes affordability while minimizing environmental impacts. The Housing Elements from Goleta to Carpinteria get updated every eight years, and the next three months will be the most important and interesting time to provide community input for the next eight-year cycle.
The Sustainable Communities agenda, 11 a.m. to noon on Zoom, will include a discussion of the Climate Action Plan for the City of Santa Barbara and how housing advocates and environmentalists can work together to identify the best sites for affordable housing developments. We invite anyone with environmental or sustainable housing interests to join us.
The Housing Committee Agenda for noon to 1 p.m. will focus on the City of Santa Barbara’s Housing Element goals, policies and programs with City of SB planner, Jessica Metzger. We will also have a presentation by Red Tail Acquisitions, the developer of both Heritage Ridge in Goleta and the Bailard Avenue Workforce Housing Project that is on school-owned property in Carpinteria. The development will include affordable units managed by the Housing Authority of the County of Santa Barbara. To get the zoom link (shared by both committees) email [email protected]
