Slippery Rock Ranch Modification

The Slippery Rock Ranch Modification project seeks a reduction of the standard 50-foot street centerline setback to 30.9 feet on a 165.93-acre parcel zoned AG-II-100 located at 1735 N. La Patera Lane in Goleta, California, within the Eastern Valley Community Plan area of Santa Barbara County’s Second Supervisorial District. This adjustment enables the development of five agricultural accessory structures under a separate land use permit, including three 198-square-foot animal barns, one 120-square-foot animal barn, and the relocation of a 440-square-foot existing haybarn, with no tree removal proposed. The parcel is serviced by the Goleta Water District, an existing septic system, and the Santa Barbara County Fire Department, with access provided via N. La Patera Lane. The project has been determined to be exempt from environmental review under CEQA Section 15305 as a minor alteration in land use limitations with no potential for significant environmental impact, and it complies with local zoning and land use ordinances. The modification is formally identified as Case No. 25MOD-00001, with a Notice of Exemption filed on July 24, 2025, and officially recorded on August 14, 2025. The project is not a competitive procurement and does not involve federal acquisition regulations, contractual pricing, or commercial delivery terms; rather, it is a ministerial land use adjustment handled by Santa Barbara County with no associated contract value, payment obligations, or procurement clauses. Point of contact for the project is Kevin De Los Santos, Planner with the County, and the applicant is Mark Lloyd acting on behalf of Slippery Rock Ranch, LLC. No federal certifications, small business status, acquisition data, or contractual performance metrics are applicable, as the action is purely local and administrative in nature.
