Planner questions SY Valley growth attitudes amid cases near Solvang
County Planning Commissioner Boyd Bettencourt of Santa Ynez Valley voiced confusion over valley sentiment on growth. He cited two cases near Janin Acres in Solvang involving a 30 horse breeding use permit later dropped, and opposition to both agricultural and residential use in adjoining lands. He noted residents’ contradictory views and described a surprising election result at Solvang Municipal Improvement Assn with top candidates in growth and limited growth each receiving 35 votes.
