About

Westside

Westside, located between State Street and the Santa Barbara Harbor, is a residential and industrial Santa Barbara neighborhood with hillside views and a working waterfront edge. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Castillo Street corridor near the U.S. 101 underpass, where auto shops, small studios, and corner markets set a practical, lived-in tone. Low-slung bungalows and Spanish Revival cottages mix with light-industrial blocks and newer infill. Shoreline Park and Leadbetter Beach shape daily routines with blufftop paths and open water. The Santa Barbara Maritime Museum and the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History Sea Center anchor local culture by the harbor. Cafés and bakeries along nearby corridors keep the pace casual and walkable.

RS-7.5

PUD

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.
