Moratorium on ag preserves debated as Merlo proposal advances
Santa Barbara County Planning Commission voted 6 2 with one abstention to recommend approval of a 69 acre agricultural preserve near Santa Ynez while urging supervisors to consider an extension of the Davidge Preserves system. The Merlo farm would extend the Davidge along with nearby Bettencourt and Gainey preserves, meeting prime land criteria and linking to existing preserves. The Board of Supervisors planned a second moratorium while awaiting Sacramento legislation and tax impact studies.
