Document Description
Conditional Use Permit to allow for a helistop with two landing zones to be used for (1) personal use by the property owner and (2) emergency services. Both landing zones will be located on the eastern portion of the property. The first landing zone will be located on an existing 10-acre grass field and the second landing zone will be located on a concrete drive adjacent to an equipment storage building that is currently under construction under separate permits. Personal use of the helistop will be limited to a maximum of two times per week between the hours of 7am and 9pm. Emergency responders that will use the helistop include International Emergency Services, LLC and the Santa Barbara County Sherriff's Department. Helicopters will take the ocean route as opposed to the mountain route in order to avoid any potential disturbance to residences along the mountain route. There will be no refueling or maintenance of the helicopters at the proposed helistop. Restrooms within existing structures on the property will be available for emergency responder aircrews. This project does not propose any construction. The property will continue to be served by the Montecito Water District, Summerland Sanitary District, and Carpinteria-Summerland Fire District. Access will continue to be provided off of Lambert Road, Via Real, and Montecito Ranch Lane. The property is a 19.78-acre parcel zone AG-I-20 and shown as Assessor's Parcel Number 005-210-056, located at 2800 Via Real in the Summerland/Carpinteria area, First Supervisorial District.
