Dear Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors,
For years, local nursery and agricultural landowners have sought county approval to build housing for their employees and families on their properties, only to be consistently denied.
I was alarmed by a recent Coastal View article on proposed housing projects: a community seemingly facing a predetermined outcome, likely orchestrated by developers with tacit approval from local government. This move aligns with a state mandate that disregards our unique environment and contradicts community preferences, violating our slow-growth policy and hastily eliminating agricultural zoning.
