January 8, 2019 - The Revised Citywide Goleta Historic Context Statement is now available for review. On March 12, 2018, the Planning Commission provided input on the draft Context Statement. The Planning Commission directed that revisions and additional information, where possible, be included in the revised Context Statement. The additional information/revisions requested by the Planning Commission included:
- Expansion on topics such as the Santa Barbara Airport, the electronics/aerospace industries, immigrant communities, and influential local women;
- Expansion of the Native American/archaeological chapter to include stories and reflections from the Barbareno Band of Chumash Indians (BBCI), particularly about people and places;
- Removal of subjective language; and
- Recognition of the City’s adopted Urban Forest Management Plan.
Revisions have been incorporated into the revised document. In addition, staff and the consultants have worked closely with the Barbareno Band of Chumash Indians and individuals who have interest in the Native American/archaeological portion to augment the Context Statement.
Lastly, on Monday, January 28, 2019 at 6:00 pm, the revised Historic Preservation Context Statement will be presented to the Planning Commission for their input. A meeting notification will be sent to all subscribers of the Historic Preservation List when the agenda is available for the January 28 meeting. If you are not subscribed, please sign up here.
Questions regarding the Revised Context Statement and the overall project can be directed to Current Planning Manager Lisa Prasse at lprasse@cityofgoleta.org or 805-961-7542.
