Planning Commission seeks two year delay for General Plan conformance
The County Planning Commission adopted a resolution urging a two year delay in aligning county zoning with the General Plan. They asked the Board of Supervisors to push legislation to conform by January 1, 1975, instead of the current 1973 target, citing unfinished mandatory elements and a heavy workload for 1972. Commissioner Boyd Bettencourt discussed five acre zoning near Santa Ynez Valley, noting consistency with agriculture and existing precedents. Insignis revised from 470 to 427 units, but planners rejected the density as too high. proximity to Solvang’s suburban area was cited as a factor in rezoning considerations.
