Redistricting Approved Shifts Buellton to Third District
The Board of Supervisors approved a redistricting map moving Buellton from the Fourth to the Third District and bringing Los Alamos into the Fourth. Santa Barbara remains in the First and Third Districts, Isle Vista stays in the Third, and Goleta Valley seeks to keep its influence. The plan calls for an ordinance to legalize the changes and prompts questions from planning commissioners and local groups about district boundaries.

Lompoc Planning Commission Action on Utilities and Parking
The commission recommended the city require Valley Medical Group to build a 10 inch water main on Walnut Avenue near the proposed medical center. If a similar main is needed on Third Street to Ocean Avenue the city should bond and pay to recover costs. They also urged changing the policy against public bonding of water mains. They approved a new offstreet parking and loading ordinance reducing stalls from eight to five in many uses and from six to four in professional offices, with a 300 foot parking radius provision. An R L Holloway use permit was approved for a combined garage storage building and patio at 529 S E St. Nicholas Bevilacqua noted the total square footage exceeds ordinance limits but the buildings will cover 24 percent of the lot. Building permits were approved for General Telephone Co additions on Pine Avenue, Security Pacific National Bank drive‑in window, and Lompoc Lumber Yard.
