County Delays Decision on Zip Line Project
After questioning applicants who are proposing a zip line project in the Santa Ynez Valley, the county supervisors delayed the hearing until 7/19. The project — consisting of 20 individual zip lines — was unanimously approved by the county’s Planning Commission in January but was quickly appealed to the Board of Supervisors by a neighbor. Several speakers championed the project — “Kids can’t go wine tasting, and that’s all there is to do in the valley,” one said — but last-minute technical information that the appellant brought forward regarding Caltrans requirements necessitated the delay. County planners will review the information in the next month.
