Urbanization hearing delayed until next year
Community Development Director Jack Lam announced a postponement of public hearings on a proposed urbanization plan for vacant land until after the new year. The Planning Commission had set Dec 12 for the hearing, but officials will wait as data collection continues and a sphere of influence study proceeds. The plan targets annexing more than 2,700 acres including Lampoc River Park and lands in the Santa Ynez floodplain with zoning changes toward low density residential and residential agriculture, while keeping growth away from existing city boundaries.
