Tarlton Demolition

The project at 6747 Del Playa Drive in Goleta, California, involves a Coastal Development Permit application to demolish approximately 496 square feet of an existing multi-family dwelling and reduce the deck by three feet, resulting in a final dwelling size of 1,716 square feet positioned 19.6 feet from the bluff edge and the deck two feet from the edge. A six-foot-tall safety fence will be installed along the bluff top, with no grading, tree removal, or other earthwork proposed. The 0.16-acre parcel, zoned SR-M-8 and assigned Assessor’s Parcel Number 075-193-044, is served by local utilities and accessed via Del Playa Drive. The project has been evaluated under the California Environmental Quality Act and qualifies for categorical exemptions under Sections 15301 and 15303, as it involves the demolition of a portion of an existing structure and the construction of a minor accessory structure without triggering any exceptions related to environmental hazards, historical resources, or unusual circumstances. The County of Santa Barbara is the lead agency, and the application was formally filed on July 3, 2025, with the Notice of Exemption issued following review and approval by the agency on June 26, 2025. There is no federal contract or procurement structure involved; the process is purely regulatory, governed by local coastal and environmental regulations, with no pricing, payment terms, contract type, or federal acquisition regulations applicable. The project applicant is Tarlton Residential LLC, represented by Jamie Myer, and the primary county contact is Planner Kevin De Los Santos. The project does not require competitive bidding, evaluation factors for award, or federal contracting clauses, and all actions are administrative and environmental compliance-based within the jurisdiction of Santa Barbara County.
