Riviera, located between Downtown Santa Barbara and the Santa Ynez Mountains, is a hillside and coastal Santa Barbara neighborhood with terraced streets and ocean-view overlooks. The character concentrates around the El Encanto area on Mission Ridge Road, where a quiet, resort-like pocket meets winding lanes and garden courtyards. Spanish Colonial Revival estates and midcentury view homes line the slopes above Alameda Padre Serra, with palms and stone walls shaping the streetscape. The Riviera Theatre and the Santa Barbara Bowl act as cultural anchors for film nights and live music. Mission Canyon’s trailheads and the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden add a nature-forward rhythm to the neighborhood.

RS-1A
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.
