About

Samarkand

Samarkand, located between State Street and Las Positas Road, is a residential and garden-like Santa Barbara neighborhood with mid-century ranch homes and leafy, walkable blocks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the De La Vina Street and Las Positas Road corridor, where small cafés, studios, and everyday services set a low-key rhythm. Samarkand Bowl stands out as a longtime social hub with a classic, neon-lit feel. The Santa Barbara Golf Club adds a broad green edge and a steady weekend cadence. Streets mix tidy bungalows, ranch houses, and mature landscaping, with mountain views appearing between rooftops. Nearby parks and bike-friendly routes shape an outdoors-forward routine without leaving the grid.

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.
