Santa Barbara, California.

Santa Barbara's Architectural Board of Review (Spanish-Mediterranean design standards) layers on top of city plan check and, for coastal parcels, the Local Coastal Program.

Plan check runs through Santa Barbara Building & Safety, with submittal, corrections, and inspection scheduling all handled in our license — CSLB #1145233. Coastal Zone parcels need a Coastal Development Permit (CDP) on top of the building permit, which we file in parallel with plan check to keep timelines tight. Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone triggers Chapter 7A exterior assemblies (Class A roof, ember-resistant vents, ignition-resistant siding) and a defensible-space site plan as part of the permit package. Historic-overlay or HPOZ-equivalent review applies to exterior alterations in designated districts and adds a design-review step ahead of building plan check.
