The Miramar Hotel was removed from the 7/28 Montecito Board of Architectural Review (MBAR) agenda after owner Rick Caruso said members of his staff couldn’t attend. Consequently, the Montecito Planning Commission will rule on the project without hearing again from the MBAR, even though the commission decided on 7/15 that the project should go to MBAR for review.
