Join Us for the October 15 City Council Meeting

Topics Include: City Tile, Dos Pueblos High School Mock Trial Team Proclamation, Santa Barbra Airport Master Plan Presentation, General Plan Amendment Initiation and Stow Grove Park Renovation

We hope you will join us for the Goleta City Council meeting this Tuesday, October 15, at 5:30 p.m. We encourage you to come in-person to City Council Chambers, watch live, or participate via Zoom. Directions for how to do so can be found below.

Items on the agenda include:

• The City Council will present a City Tile to Michael Baris, Emergency Services Coordinator, in appreciation of his six years of service to the organization as he moves on to his next chapter.

• The Council will issue a proclamation recognizing the accomplishments of the Dos Pueblos High School Mock Trial Team who took home 1st place in the prestigious Philadelphia Constitutional Classic Championship! The event took place from September 27 – 30, 2024, and included 36 elite teams from the United States, Canada, and South Korea.
  
  
• The City Council will receive a presentation on the status of the Santa Barbara Airport Master Plan by Santa Barbara Airport staff. The City of Santa Barbara is preparing a new Master Plan Update (MPU) for the Airport. The MPU will guide future development at the Airport and will be updated to reflect Airport development changes in the last 10 years, such as the completion of the runway safety areas, creek relocation, the tidal circulation project, and the airline terminal expansion.

• The Council will consider Initiation of a General Plan Amendment for 6483, 6485, 6487, and 6489 Calle Real. The current General Plan land use designation and zoning at the 3.56-acre subject site is Office and Industrial (I-OI). The GPA initiation request is to study a change to the land use designation, from I-OI to Business Park (I-BP). The existing land use designation does not allow for Limited Industrial (i.e., Microbreweries and Wineries), which is the use category that is needed for several of the existing businesses to be able to expand including outside.

• The City Council will consider the location of the new restroom for the Stow Grove Park Phase One Renovation. In December of 2023 Council adopted the Stow Grove Park Master Plan to renovate the nearly 100-year-old park facility. The Master Plan includes the addition of a new restroom facility to be located near the new Universal Playground, both of which will be constructed in Phase One.
