Growth limit and water ban clash on county board
The Santa Barbara Board of Supervisors faced heated debate as North County labor leaders attacked Supervisor David Yager’s plan for a one percent annual growth limit, while South Coast opponents blocked a water well ban in Goleta Montecito and Summerland. The panel postponed action, with Yager proposing a broadly based committee and possible outside legal aid, and county counsel disputing a blanket private well ban as a taking without health findings.
