Kaliner Trust Additions

The project involves a residential modification at 1086 Channel Drive in Montecito, California, under the Kaliner Trust Additions initiative, seeking a Coastal Development Permit to demolish 100 square feet of an existing single-family dwelling and a 440-square-foot detached garage, and to construct a new 485-square-foot attached garage, an 85-square-foot addition to the dwelling, and a 2,165-square-foot partially underground basement within the existing understory. Additional improvements include a 32-foot by 12-foot swimming pool and approximately 2,010 square feet of new outdoor patio areas, with on-site grading involving 515 cubic yards of cut and fill that is balanced without requiring off-site haul. No trees are scheduled for removal, and the property will remain served by the Montecito Water District, Montecito Sanitary District, and Montecito Fire Protection District, with access maintained via Fairway Drive. The parcel, zoned 1-E-1 and identified as Assessor’s Parcel Number 009-282-035, spans 0.48 acres and is located within the Montecito Community Plan Area in the 1st Supervisorial District. The project has been determined to qualify for categorical exemptions under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Sections 15301 and 15303, which apply to minor alterations to existing structures and small-scale construction with no significant environmental impact, and no unusual circumstances or impacts to historic resources, sensitive habitats, or scenic highways were identified during review. The applicant, the 2019 Kaliner Family Trust, is working with Karl Kras, Studio William Hefner, as the construction entity, and the permit application was filed with Santa Barbara County’s Planning and Development Department. The solicitation number 22CDH-00000-00032 was posted on August 22, 2025, with a submission deadline of August 18, 2025, though the filing date is recorded as occurring prior to posting, which may reflect an administrative discrepancy. No contract value, payment terms, invoicing procedures, procurement type, or federal acquisition regulation clauses are present, as the process is a local land-use approval under CEQA rather than a competitive federal contract solicitation; the point of contact for administrative inquiries is Kathleen Volpi, Planner, reachable
