Here’s a reminder for the community of a special Architectural Board of Review meeting on Friday regarding the new Santa Barbara Police Station.
The virtual meeting will take place on Friday at 1:00 p.m. and residents can login here. Project details are available here.
Here’s the ABR description:
Proposal for a new three-story, approximately 53-foot high, 65,000 square foot Police Station, and associated 37.5-foot high, 86,000 square foot parking structure to accommodate 244 parking spaces, at the existing 1.61-acre Cota Commuter Parking Lot. Each structure would also have a subterranean level. Eight additional surface parking spaces would be provided. Existing Police operations, currently located at four separate sites, would be consolidated at the new project site. Grading includes 22,000 cubic yards of export. A total of 24 Tipuana tipu trees and 6 oak trees would be removed. The existing plaques commemorating the old Lincoln School would be relocated. Following ABR Concept Review, the Planning Commission will conduct a public hearing to consider the required findings for a Community Benefit project to exceed 45 feet in height. Project requires Development Plan approval by the Planning Commission.
