Insignis hearing eyed for May 28 on rezoning plan
The Santa Ynez Valley board of supervisors may set a May 28 public hearing on the Planning Commission recommendation to rezone the Insignis Inc. 121 acre north portion of the large residential recreation community.

The Planning Commission narrowly approved the tentative map with conditions allowing agricultural use for parcels intruding into a golf course easement. Additional items on the agenda include limits on uses in mid zones and professional institutional areas, a circus use permit request, a Maid of Santa Barbara County beauty pageant permit, annexation actions by the Local Agency Formation Commission, an appeal by Jules Berman on large lot subdivisions, a council financing position, and a county employee fringe benefits progress report.
