Barber Beach Trust Addition

The Barber Beach Trust Addition project, identified as Case No. 24CDH-00022, is a request for a Coastal Development Permit to modify previously approved plans for a residential property located at 3230 Beach Club Road in Carpinteria, California. The project involves several structural enhancements to a 0.25-acre parcel zoned 8-R-1 within the Toro Canyon Community Plan Area. Key modifications include the construction of a 119-square-foot enclosed space with attached storage on the roof deck, reaching a maximum height of 22 feet above grade, the replacement of a cedar roof deck rail with glass, and the installation of a smaller 209-square-foot cantilevered deck to replace the existing north deck. Additional improvements include a south patio layout modification with a new outdoor cooking area, garage door and window changes, the addition of a gas fireplace in bedroom 1, and the installation of a dumb waiter connecting the kitchen to the roof deck room. Administered by Santa Barbara County, the project is exempt from further environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act CEQA Guidelines Section 15301 for existing facilities, as it does not involve grading, tree removal, or significant environmental impacts. The property is served by the Carpinteria-Valley Water District, the Carpinteria Sanitary District, and the Carpinteria-Summerland Fire District, with continued access via Beach Club Road. The project is managed by Planner Katie Nall and applicant Stephen Ekegren, with a Notice of Exemption filed by the County Clerk on April 22, 2025.
