I. PROJECT SUMMARY

A. APPLICANT
Sinclair Real Estate Company
Stephen Holding
550 East South Temple
Salt Lake City, Utah 84102
B. LOCATION
  • The subject property is an approximately 265-acre oceanfront property bounded on the south by the Pacific Ocean, on the north by Vieja Drive and Mockingbird Lane, on the west by Orchid Drive, and on the east by Hope Ranch (Via Roblada).
C. REQUEST/DESCRIPTION
  • The applicant has requested preparation of a biological resource study to examine the biological sensitivity of More Mesa.
  • The study shall include a recommendation on areas to be subject to development, potential numbers of units, and those areas to be preserved as permanent open space.
  • The study is required prior to accepting any increase in the developable area of More Mesa (40 acres) depicted in Figure 10 of the Goleta Community Plan (Attachment A) or any increase in the number of allowable residential units over 70 (up to a maximum of 100 units as identified in LUDS-GV-1.2).
D. BACKGROUND
  • More Mesa contains a wide-variety of critical habitats.
  • The GCP designates approximately 40 acres along the eastern edge of More Mesa as suitable for development with Planned Development-70 zoning, meaning a maximum of 70 dwelling units would be allowed on this portion of the site.
  • As discussed above, in order to reconsider the 70-unit development limitation on More Mesa and the extent of the developable area, a biological study analyzing the site must occur as a first step.
