About Oak

Park

Oak Park, located between State Street and the Santa Barbara waterfront, is a residential and walkable Santa Barbara neighborhood with Craftsman bungalows and leafy park space. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Oak Park bandstand and lawn, where picnic tables, playground energy, and weekend gatherings set the tone. Architectural details lean early-20th-century, with front porches, mature street trees, and compact blocks that keep errands on foot. The park’s open green anchors daily routines, while nearby downtown streets add coffee counters and small galleries. Community pillars include the Santa Barbara Bowl for live music, the historic Arlington Theatre, and the Santa Barbara Museum of Art. The setting links hillside views to the beach without losing its calm, lived-in feel.

Residential Multi-Unit And Hotel District

This zone is intended to provide areas for a variety of multi-unit housing types.

Regulations for this zone are designed to control activities of a retail nonresidential nature and those which would tend to be inharmonious with housing.

Permitted uses

Include but are not limited to:

Agriculture
Livestock production
Garden center
Housing-Group
Housing-Single unit
Housing-Multiple units
Housing-Senior
Hotel / motel
