About

Cielito

Cielito, located between Mission Canyon and the Riviera, is a hillside and residential Santa Barbara neighborhood with winding lanes and canyon views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Mission Canyon Road corridor near the Santa Barbara Mission, where trailheads, garden paths, and low-key cultural stops set the pace. Spanish Revival and mid-century homes sit on terraced lots, with mature oaks and stone retaining walls shaping the streetscape. The Santa Barbara Botanic Garden and Old Mission Santa Barbara act as local anchors for walks and weekend routines. Nearby, the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History adds a campus-like feel at the canyon edge. A short drive down the slope connects to State Street’s dining and galleries without changing the quiet, elevated atmosphere.

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.
