About Bel
Air
Bel Air, located between Las Positas Road and State Street, is a residential and hillside Santa Barbara neighborhood with mid-century ranch homes and canyon-view streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Las Positas Road corridor near the Las Positas Tennis Club, where morning walkers, cyclists, and court time set a steady, outdoorsy rhythm. Curving roads and mature landscaping frame a mix of single-level houses and larger view properties, with a calm, tucked-away feel above the city grid. Parma Park adds trail loops and open lawn for a low-key afternoon reset. The Santa Barbara Golf Club and the Santa Barbara Tennis Club anchor local recreation with a classic, members-and-guests atmosphere. Foothill light and ocean air shape the daily pace without leaning on downtown bustle.

RS-6
One-Family Residence Zone
This zone is intended to provide areas for single-unit housing on individual lots at appropriate low densities of one unit per legal lot with allowances for an Accessory Dwelling Unit or Two-Unit Residential Development when certain standards are met. Designators (e.g. -25, -15) refer to minimum lot size in thousands of square ft or, in the case of RS-1A, acres. The regulations for the RS Zone are intended to limit activities which would be inharmonious with or injurious to the preservation and character of a residential environment. Nonresidential uses are limited to those that support daily life of neighborhoods and complement surrounding residential development. Nonresidential uses are strictly limited in order to mitigate impacts associated with nonresidential uses such as: traffic, increased parking demand, light, glare, and noise.
