Building in Santa Barbara
Santa Barbara has its own Building and Safety Division and one of the most rigorous design review processes of any city we work in. The city's Architectural Board of Review and Historic Landmarks Advisory Committee must approve exterior changes to many properties, particularly within the El Pueblo Viejo Historic District and on the Riviera. Santa Barbara's Spanish Colonial Revival architecture requires period-appropriate materials — stucco finishes, clay tile roofing, and wood windows — that must be approved by the design review board. Coastal properties face salt-air exposure and may require coastal development permits. Hillside properties in Mission Canyon and the Riviera require soils engineering and retaining wall design.
