“I guess, could we ask staff to bring back both options? Yeah. works for me or you know some findings um at this point i'm not wouldn't be supportive of that but you can we could have staff to have those ready for for you if you could get three votes but i think we should also be looking at other options um to put on the table as well So I guess the motion from Previsor Lavagnino is to continue this to 825. But we're not asking the treasurer tax collector. I think they're trying to figure out, are we asking them to figure out where the... So let me clarify here. So let's clarify this. So we're…”
“okay so that's usually would be the treasurer tax collector would be that department that's correct we'll work very closely with that you'll look work very closely uh treasurer hagan are you guys comfortable with working county i guess okay just sorry clear we're not experts in this kind of field though okay yeah why and i think since this motion or this portion the motion is coming from supervisor hartman I think her office could work with you on some of those potential findings. Is that appropriate or not? Maybe it's not appropriate since it's a quasi-judicial role.”
“I think that would not be appropriate for the Treasury Tax Collector to work on other options to pay for this. But I do think that if Supervisor Hartman would be willing to help look for those funds as an option in their office.”
“We're all trying to figure out a way to make it work, right? It makes sense that your office might be the lead on that.”
“Okay. I think it's an option. I think DSS, I mean, there's some nutrition systems there as well. And I think, again, some of us that are, I think we all want to see this be successful. So I think we all can make some phone calls to see if we can bridge that gap. All right. So the motion to continuance, and there's been some direction from the board on a request from staff to come back with some options on the meeting on the continuance to H25. That's a motion from Supervisor Labanillo, right? Okay, can I get a second on that motion? Second. Is there any further discussion on that motion?…”
“Are they okay with the continuance? Okay. All right. Yeah, thank you Supervisor Lee for checking on that. So we have a motion, we have a second, we have a discussion. All in favor of the continuation signify by saying aye. Aye. Opposed? Motion passes unanimously. All right, thank you guys. And we'll go ahead and... Okay, we're gonna take a quick five minute break and then we'll get onto item number seven. All right, welcome back to the July 7th, 2026 regular scheduled meeting in the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors. We will be now beginning Department item number seven of eight. And…”

“Right now back to the board. Any further deliberations or questions or actually questions? I do, I guess I have a question for staff. So with this new zoning, what is the maximum residential potential on that property?”
“Okay. Thank you. And that'd be another process that they'd have to go through. That'd be a subdivision map at that point, because it'd be greater than four.”
“Tracked map, if they wanted to go to full build out.”
“All right, any other questions? Kick it over to you, Supervisor Capps, the senior district.”
“Awesome. So I also support that when somebody makes a motion on that. I think that it's clear that's surrounded by residential on three sides. Somebody who is a huge supporter of agriculture, I can tell you that that's not a viable ag parcel anymore. It's very constrained by urban creep and it was residential at one point in the past too so it just it does seem like it was an odd parcel the way it was and I actually think this is what good planning looks like good zoning looks like and and um the whole reason why we have zoning is to eliminate conflicts and this i think will will further…”
“Capps, any further discussion on the motion? Seeing none, all in favor signify by saying aye. Aye. Opposed? Motion passes unanimously. Thank you, staff. Thank you, applicant. Thank you, Supervisor Capps. All right, now we're gonna go ahead and roll into our eighth and final item here. Thank you guys for sticking with us. I know some of you expected for us to hear this item earlier. Okay, Madam Clerk, will you please read item number eight into the record?”
“All right, let's kick it off to Director Plowman.”

“All right, any other questions from Supervisor Lavagnino?”
“All right. That was questions from the board. I think at this time we will have this item open for public comment. Madam Clerk, do we have any public comment on this item?”
“And we'll also go ahead and close public comment on this item this time.”
Not quoted here: it may name a member of the public. Hear it at the meeting.
“YOU'RE RIGHT ABOUT THAT. YOU HAVE TO CHANGE OUR GENERAL PLAN, WHICH IS A MASSIVE PROCESS. IT'S GOING TO GO ON A LONG RANGE WORK PLAN.”
“Further questions or deliberations? Supervisor Capps.”
“SO I CAN SUPPORT THAT MOTION AS SO I CAN SUPPORT THAT MOTION AS LONG AS YOU DO THE MORATORIUM LONG AS YOU DO THE MORATORIUM AFTER THAT POINT, WHICH I AFTER THAT POINT, WHICH I THINK IS WHAT YOU'RE THINK IS WHAT YOU'RE PROPOSING HERE. PROPOSING HERE. SO I CAN SUPPORT YOUR MOTION. SO I CAN SUPPORT YOUR MOTION. YES. YES. PERFECT. PERFECT.”
“So if I understand the motion, receive and file, determine this is not a project under CEQA, direct planning staff to alert the board and council when there is a proposal if it when and if there's a if there's a proposal yes we're not necessarily encouraging one we're just saying if that happened you would alert us yep and council and then the board could operate from there um at that point any any board member can bring an item to the agenda at that point so it's not prejudicing us with a direction already on a moratorium it's just saying that we want to know so more information is always…”
