The board continued the item for further refinement, with direction to study chimney proportions, exterior lighting, window proportions, and landscaping.

Staff said the project includes substantial redevelopment of an 848‑square‑foot single‑story primary residence and multiple exterior improvements, plus a new 77‑square‑foot shed and a privacy wall. Staff noted that the detached accessory dwelling unit on the property is being permitted under Assembly Bill 2533 (AB 2533) and is not part of the local design review because unpermitted ADUs constructed prior to Jan. 1, 2020 are exempt from local denial under that state law.

The applicants presented a substantially revised Spanish‑Mediterranean concept to better match the existing ADU and neighborhood character: mission clay barrel tile roofing, hand‑trowel plaster, copper gutters and downspouts, custom transoms, and a plaster wall/gate and arbor at the entry. The board generally supported the shift in architectural direction but asked the design team to raise and study the chimney shoulder heights and base detailing, study window proportions (particularly side elevations), and refine exterior lighting choices and placement for consistency across elevations.

No written correspondence or public commenters were recorded for this item at the hearing. The board voted unanimously to continue the project; staff and applicants will return with revised drawings, material samples, landscaping and lighting details.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Single Family Design Board - August 25, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Single‑Family Design Board continued review of a redesign at 4821 Bond Avenue intended to abate code violations and permit as‑built work, asking the applicant to refine chimney proportions, exterior lighting, window proportions, and landscaping; the board noted the ADU is being permitted separately under state law.","taxTitle","Santa Barbara City, Santa Barbara County, California","taxId",4209,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6506505,"Neighbors urge privacy protections as board continues second‑story addition at 1129 Crestline Drive to staff hearing officer",2622,3650000,6272000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5671229-33e18d7bd7c9470c7c97d9704e7402be&start=3650&end=6272","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5671229-33e18d7bd7c9470c7c97d9704e7402be/thumbnail_3650000.jpg","/articles/6506505/Santa-Barbara-City/Santa-Barbara-County/California/Neighbors-urge-privacy-protections-as-board-continues-secondstory-addition-at-1129-Crestline-Drive-to-staff-hearing-officer","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6506505-c4f4256cb1381cfd4f3414ee6d8a00c9/orig.mp4?Expires=1773700470&Signature=kKlp0hmeNEONwPooY01nt~CYKY-CPPABDiP1NHYWTudu-nmvT~5kbMZ3tZrxv08Pf1aaudydrf3ZWL9QrZblLrG5sVe5TBt4~SP4h6aYgd19R5MqLTileBxOyMv~bPio1EJnFQo2gjYfY2wWKcwsK~vqWg9ZYiFKm5MfS3JoKecpz41-ZRPXAHC81n1h4qU4D8B94bRYCffx6UkotES3hdhNOeljKvY~9vbPD0X0ez1Ihhvn022pw1arDnDxYm-QLKa0LwMYbtZtWmEkeVOBrydcqFJioEhYiZHC7NyU~kcrn~qE~z7BydST6di9Fbe2PDT6b0NWgGkWXGMg5gxLhQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Santa Barbara Single‑Family Design Board on Aug. 25 continued the second concept review for a 752‑square‑foot second‑story addition at 1129 Crestline Drive to the staff hearing officer for additional review and neighbor coordination.

The project seeks a 752‑square‑foot second story and an 18‑square‑foot garage addition; the resulting total of 2,948 square feet on a 13,503‑square‑foot lot was stated as roughly 71% of the maximum allowable floor‑to‑lot ratio. Staff noted the project requires review of proposed front and interior setback modifications and that the applicant is close to the local threshold for “substantial redevelopment,” so the team requested the board’s comment before that staff hearing officer review.

Several nearby residents spoke in opposition during public comment, saying upper‑level windows would directly face and reduce privacy for adjacent properties and arguing the addition could affect morning sunlight and views. Speakers included Steven Bush (neighbor at 1116 Crestline Drive) and homeowners Cynthia and Richard Castaneda (1137 Crestline Drive), who provided written comments as well.

Applicants said they had removed a proposed third‑floor roof deck, eliminated exterior west‑side stairs, reduced second‑floor square footage by about 80 square feet, and lowered the overall height by roughly 11 inches. The applicants also said they simplified the material palette (stucco on lower level, horizontal siding on upper level) and adjusted window locations to reduce privacy impacts.

After board discussion — in which members noted the removal of the roof deck and other design changes and urged the applicant to continue neighbor outreach — the board voted to continue the project indefinitely to the staff hearing officer and requested outreach to adjacent property owners. The board said story poles were not required given the proposed plate heights and roof configuration.","After multiple public comments raising privacy and view concerns, the Single‑Family Design Board continued a proposed 752‑square‑foot second‑story addition at 1129 Crestline Drive to the staff hearing officer for further review and encouraged continued applicant/neighborhood outreach.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6506509,"Board continues 1st‑floor remodel and second‑story addition at 1740 La Coronia Drive to consent with CMU wall and ridge adjustments",1435,2214000,3649000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5671229-33e18d7bd7c9470c7c97d9704e7402be&start=2214&end=3649","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5671229-33e18d7bd7c9470c7c97d9704e7402be/thumbnail_2214000.jpg","/articles/6506509/Santa-Barbara-City/Santa-Barbara-County/California/Board-continues-1stfloor-remodel-and-secondstory-addition-at-1740-La-Coronia-Drive-to-consent-with-CMU-wall-and-ridge-adjustments","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6506509-a10885fd941995492acc2c06bf75235a/orig.mp4?Expires=1773700470&Signature=Dm~CttFkOL-SQD5le6OTrGWmYd8WSFt2NXmyvzJ904km1CZABtvA3G5~xHNEVNa4HKfs~5b0fQQzaL5QHE4JuLhEp3WQ67GC4Bp7p8zvSgAXmb2vXakUQQBwz-hCfYMuqkjMRqfm3iPxJIh0UFidm~Su95ws3xX-VocrLUoEzdzkFArCDTWBsBDShRjZWUC7bbFXg7afHtoRYW-Wp-1Axmg6hxevJMt7PQyQJVSAlMLOeg2s4NKBw1KMvL9LMHUBZmYAsB8Mj8MJ3D4Vfm4g8Zbp1ftTVzGFtnUOi~HQEMhFZ98sT0iUgY1J8qTLimyVwJpAVEWO21Ft1FuMWJMQOg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Single‑Family Design Board on Aug. 25 continued a proposal for a 470‑square‑foot second‑story addition to an existing single‑story home at 1740 La Coronia Drive to a consent hearing for final approval, with specific comments on site details.

Case staff confirmed the project qualifies for a California Environmental Quality Act exemption under section 15301 (existing facilities). The applicant said the project adds tile roofing details to match existing S‑tile roofing, pulls back an overhanging rake that exceeded guidelines, adjusts window sills for visual cohesion and documents as‑built site elements including an exposed CMU retaining wall and sections of existing fencing and hardscape.

The board requested that the applicant paint or otherwise address the exposed CMU retaining wall to match the house plaster, trim the ridge beam/chamfer at the gable to better match the plans, and return to the consent calendar for final review. The board noted the project was previously given a waiver of FAR requirements; public commenters did not appear and staff reported written submissions were not received for this item.

The board voted unanimously to continue the project to a date‑certain consent hearing (applicant and staff discussed scheduling for a September meeting) and asked the applicant to return with final details, color/material samples and the CMU treatment noted.","The board continued project design approval for a 470‑square‑foot second‑story addition at 1740 La Coronia Drive to return to consent/final with conditions that the exposed CMU retaining wall be painted to match the house and that ridge beam ends (chamfer) be trimmed to match the drawings.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6506514,"Single‑Family Design Board approves garage and rooftop ADU at 1726 Sir Few Drive with wrought‑iron railing condition",1438,777000,2215000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5671229-33e18d7bd7c9470c7c97d9704e7402be&start=777&end=2215","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5671229-33e18d7bd7c9470c7c97d9704e7402be/thumbnail_777000.jpg","/articles/6506514/Santa-Barbara-City/Santa-Barbara-County/California/SingleFamily-Design-Board-approves-garage-and-rooftop-ADU-at-1726-Sir-Few-Drive-with-wroughtiron-railing-condition","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6506514-ade2ca7d6a1d4fe701995687bea64e4f/orig.mp4?Expires=1773700470&Signature=hwN~DzGXFyLnjPFMQ8peSPfyqXBQZ2cjM-BDSe9gJL6c2gmbjDjbBL-KQZW6f0kSbS4gw0keOQGVPY1OZTYruKUBKfyowCstbTEpIq4GuG288~W2tAHNmmOnhL7Z8xhxzIQo0JkqVSTQCLuGiS80cs-QMuI~7rs~8Wz0ipUio-1uKUJksPQC0wBB5ZiITMbcyjruxoV~9Z2wKK9v89Ci2cDeAY8LGkfrkV3Ge5CvlJh6G6wyse3nNIYLUp~d9q8KBY2IfqvN7wgci0beMo6qCQEdVer9aPRMQgoCE-OuW0jx3w8hYQNx2EECWUMiEJnqvqqhdn5-mSjjtPdEKOGNBA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Santa Barbara Single‑Family Design Board on Aug. 25 approved project design approval and final approval for an attached garage with a two‑bedroom accessory dwelling unit above at 1726 Sir Few Drive. The motion included a condition that all railings be wrought iron and that the Juliet balcony details match the elevation shown rather than a more ornate manufacturer detail.

Board action came during the board's full meeting after a presentation from project representatives and staff. The project proposes demolishing an existing detached garage and constructing a 749‑square‑foot attached garage with a 749‑square‑foot ADU above. The applicant presented plans showing matching exterior materials, a Trex deck providing access to the ADU, and details for windows, wrought‑iron Juliet balconies, and a light fixture described as dark‑sky compliant.

The board cited prior approvals by the staff hearing officer for two front setback modifications and a garage size modification (approved 07/09/2025) and said the project conforms with neighborhood preservation and hillside design district findings required for final approval. Public comment and written correspondence were not submitted for this item.

Board members voted unanimously to approve the project with the railing condition. Staff advised the applicant that the 10‑calendar‑day appeal period would start and, absent an appeal, building permit submittal could proceed after the appeal period.

The board discussion included clarification that the stair railing would match the Juliet balcony railing style and that the manufacturer detail shown on the drawing would be replaced by the simpler railing shown on the elevation. The applicant confirmed materials and colors would match the existing residence, including lime plaster, a brown window/trim color, Owens Corning Desert Rose roofing, and Venetian paver stone for hardscape.

The board recorded no outstanding requests for further study or story poles for this item and directed staff to begin the appeal period.","The Santa Barbara Single‑Family Design Board on Aug. 25 approved project design and final approval for an attached garage with a two‑bedroom ADU above at 1726 Sir Few Drive, with a condition that all railings be wrought iron matching the approved elevations.","actionData","errors"]
