We are pleased to be working on behalf of the Housing Authority of the City of Santa Barbara for a new 63 unit apartment complex located at the City’s commuter parking lot at 400 West Carrillo Street. The project aims to provide housing for the “missing-middle” (Moderate Income level, AMI 80-120, and Middle Income level, AMI 120-160) income groups that are currently underserved in our community. The intent of the project is to preserve as many of the Tipu trees as possible, especially along the north edge where it will maintain a buffer to the residential neighborhood, but otherwise the existing features are proposed to be demolished. The project proposes 63 onsite parking spaces as both 38 surface, uncovered, spaces and 25 spaces located in single and double garages. The vehicular parking meets the 1:1 ratio required as an AUD project and is proposed as unbundled to create flexibility for the residents. Covered and secured bicycle parking is also proposed as a 1:1 ratio as required by the AUD standards.
