Hope Ranch

Hope Ranch

Hope Ranch estates sit under County rules, Coastal Zone policy and the neighborhood's own review. We coordinate all three.

What to know

Planning in Hope Ranch.

Projects here typically involve private association approval alongside County design review and, closer to the shore, a Coastal Development Permit.

We sequence these approvals so each informs the next, and keep the owner updated in writing throughout.

Local questions

Hope Ranch, answered.

What approvals do Hope Ranch projects involve?

Typically three: the neighborhood's private association approval, Santa Barbara County design review and, closer to the shore, a Coastal Development Permit. We sequence them so each informs the next.

Does the association review come before or after the County?

It depends on the project. We plan the order with you at the start so that comments from one review don't force a redesign at the next.
