I am sure Bishop Ranch was not pleased to see Paula sign up. The mega neighborhood planned for Bishop Ranch is not dead unless we elect people like Paula and Aceves this fall.

"37 residential condos, a market, and commercial retail space, altogether occupying about 100,000 square feet of space" where the old Safeway was? = OMG times 10

Wow, the shear size of this should be a red flag. Seems the main focus is on the views of the Arlington not what is going to happen, smashed in elbow to elbow below the views? Why not be weary of the impacts of so many uses on this parcel? Do we now have endless water supply, for example? I am sure Starbucks will like one of the retail slots if that is what we want.

The folks on the planning commission fell pray to this "Urban Crap" talking developer and her wordsmith Architect. I sure hope SB can demand a better use for this property without adding so many uses. Look at how Whole Earth finally fit in. Do we need a tear down and more expensive condos with big city underground parking? Did you know the open space for the condos is on the roof of the market? No ground level open space can be found! Parking is all underground, and about 1/2 as many as on level ground now since the other 1/2 will be behind a gate for condo owners. Can this be the future of plan Santa Barbara?.
