Santa Barbara City Planning Commission Puzzled by Paseo Nuevo Proposal

The plan to redevelop Paseo Nuevo shopping mall was criticized by members of the City of Santa Barbara’s Planning Commission on October 9.

Boardmembers pointed out problems with the city's plan to use publicly owned land, which includes building 233 units of market rate housing on the Macy’s side of the mall and 80 units of affordable housing on a city parking lot.

The City Council will decide whether to approve a development agreement in December.
