The Coastal Commission simply follows a mandate spelled out by the 1972 state-wide voter initiative that was its genesis (and which was reinforced by legislation in Sacramento in 1976). It's a matter of the people getting exactly what they asked for (and a GOOD thing, in my book!). Kudos to the responsible landowners and agriculturalists on Gaviota (keep up the GOOD work!), but it's rather naive to think that Coastal Act protections have nothing to do with how SBC looks and feels today....

Thanks for shining a light on this, Nick. SBCAG needs to get its act together in a big way. Show some leadership! FYI, the Community Environmental Council is a great resource for folks interested in local implementation of SB 375.

Beautiful sentiments for a beautiful life. Thank you, Marjorie, for sharing, and thank you, David, for being. Santa Barbara will most certainly miss you.
