WelcomeWelcome to this Bright Cheerful French Country Home This very special home was built in 1929 by acclaimed architect A.B. Harmer. The home is in pristine condition, retaining the original open beam ceilings, hardwood floors, archways, windows and fireplace. New paint throughout, inside and out. The owner/designer has made many improvements including adding rain gutters, regrading the entire property so rain runs away form the structure, adding decomposed granite patios reminiscent of the south of France, upgrading electrical fixtures and adding custom made shutters. Plans for converting laundry room into 2nd bathroom with stackable W/D. Permit expired but could be resubmitted. There is an automatic drip system for the drought tolerant mediterranean gardens, and the centuries old cobblestones from England came from Oprah's house in Montecito.

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.
Permitted uses
Include but are not limited to:
Agriculture
Livestock production
Garden center
Housing-Group
Housing-Single unit
