County 9-17

A plan to add a 65-room cottage hotel to Mattei’s Tavern in Los Olivos was discussed at the county’s Historic Landmarks Advisory Commission (HLAC) on 9/14. The project would add more than 60,000 square feet to the tavern. Though the restaurant, which is along Highway 154, does not have a historic designation, other buildings on the property do and county staff is looking into what HLAC’s legal jurisdiction over the project would be.
