Calle Real Campus Master Plan

Calle Real Campus Master Plan

The Santa Barbara County’s (County) Calle Real Campus (project site) located near the Santa Barbara City/Goleta City border in California, encompasses approximately 323 acres from Hollister Avenue, south of US 101, to an area just north of Cathedral Oaks. A Master Plan for the Calle Real Campus was prepared by Gensler Associates, Inc. and was approved by the County’s Board of Supervisors on September 13, 2022. The purpose of the Calle Real Campus Master Plan is to develop a long-range vision for the future of the campus. The proposed Master Plan divides the project site into five sections, from north to south: Public Safety Campus (53.9 acres), County Yards Campus (140.8 acres), Jail Campus (43.6 acres), Health and Governmental Center Campus (23.2 acres), and Community Services Campus (61.5 acres). The Campus has approximately 791,700 gross square feet of County facilities existing. Many buildings are underutilized and past useful site life. There are also eight different non-County entities located on campus. Goals of the Master Plan include: eliminate buildings beyond their useful lives, identify departmental synergies to streamline services and maximize current vacant space. The main priority of the Master Plan is to consolidate County functions in the two central sections of Calle Real—that is, the Health and Government Center Campus and the County Yards Campus—for streamlined service delivery and to make the best use of the County’s land. By consolidating external-facing services and potentially relocating the County government seat from Downtown Santa Barbara, these two campuses will function as the Calle Real core. In total, nearly 485,400 square feet of existing buildings will remain and be renovated, with 538,800 square feet of new or expanded space being added over the life of the Master Plan—that is, approximately 2025-2050. The total building square footage at the project site at complete buildout would be approximately 1,024,200 square feet. The County as Lead Agency has prepared a Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR) as required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for the proposed Calle Real Campus Master Plan Project.
