The Czuker’s two giant- home development project is too large and complicated to have had a so-called “ministerial decision” rather than full EIR made for a Land Use Permit in the Painted Cave community, which is zoned “very high fire severity” with no public pressurized water supply.
The two small lots are zoned “highly sensitive habitat” where endangered Santa Barbara honeysuckle and protected oaks are found and would be removed.
The County Board of Architectural Review had no input so the community had no say on size, bulk, scale, fences, community compatibility, etc.
