CP Land Investors LLC - Housing Development

The project involves the development of a 24-unit multifamily residential complex on a 0.82-acre vacant parcel in Isla Vista, Santa Barbara County, within the Goleta Community Plan area. The development consists of two three-story apartment buildings totaling 24,144 square feet gross, with 21,816 square feet net living area, and includes six deed-restricted units—three for very low-income households and three for moderate-income households—qualifying the project under the Housing Accountability Act and State Density Bonus Law. The applicant has secured eligibility for density bonusing, allowing for increased height, reduced parking ratios, and higher unit density, with the site required to meet a minimum density of 29 units per acre. The project provides 37 parking spaces, including tandem and uncovered configurations to meet the approved ratio of 1.5 spaces per unit, along with 72 enclosed bike lockers and 72 unenclosed bike rack spaces. Access is via a private driveway off Camino Pescadero, and the parcel is served by the Goleta Water District, Goleta West Sanitary District, and Santa Barbara County Fire Department. A single existing Oak tree will be preserved, with no other trees removed, and grading will involve 97 cubic yards of cut and 1,238 cubic yards of fill. Stormwater management requires a Tier 3 plan with 14,841 square feet of permeable pavement and a 9,308-square-foot underground retention tank, accompanied by a long-term maintenance plan. The fire department mandates a full-building automatic sprinkler system and a new on-site fire hydrant. The project must conform to County Environmental Thresholds, CEQA, NPDES, Clean Water Act, and Title 24 standards, with construction subject to inspection and final acceptance by the County of Santa Barbara, approved on September 3, 2025. The planning and development department issued a notice of exemption under CEQA and granted the Coastal Development Permit and Development Plan approval, with no federal contracting clauses or procurement mechanisms applicable, as this is a local land-use and entitlement process under California law.
