Montecito
Montecito projects face some of the most careful review in the county: design review, community plan standards, the Coastal Zone near the shore, and hazard review after 2018.

Estates here involve the Montecito Community Plan, the Montecito Board of Architectural Review and, for many properties, Coastal Development Permits and fire and debris-flow considerations.
