What Happened in Montecito Last Week?
June 11th – June 17th
weekly spotlight
Coast Village Road seems to be in the midst of many different upgrades and the most recent thrown in the mix is a planned remodel of the former Cava Restaurant building. The remodel plans were in front of the Santa Barbara City Architectural Review Board last week and they purposed a whimsical facelift by the iconic, local architect Jeff Shelton.
The plans propose renovating the façade of the restaurant building and adjacent office on the site, as well as proposing to remove two diagonal parking spaces that will be relocated. Shelton’s plans include his quintessential decorative tile in blue and yellow colors, cement plaster, ironwork, decorative pots, signage, and awnings.
Comments from the ABR were mostly positive, with board members calling the project “delightful” and in compatibility with the surrounding neighborhood. The project received design approval, and will need to return for final approval. Click here to learn more.
That sums it up for last week!
