Board rejects downzoning clash over 330 acres along Alamo Pintado Rd
The Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors, by a 3-2 vote, upheld a Planning Commission decision to drop rezonings of 330 acres of farmland along Alamo Pintado Road between Ballard and Solvang from five-acre limited agricultural to current zoning. The vote also rejected a move to rezone the north portion to 20-acre limits, while advisory and resident groups argued for and against broader parcels. Local landowners cited hardship and scenic value. opponents framed the land as suitable for homesites or preserved as farming. The decision followed a year of dispute involving 27 owners and petitions to rezone, with the board agreeing to drop the 40-acre plan and defer some actions pending future development plans.
