County Supervisors request Santa Maria City Council Delay Decision of Richards Ranch Development
Next Tuesday, the Santa Maria City Council is scheduled to consider annexing over 40 acres at the intersection Union Valley Parkway and State Highway 135. However, Fourth District County Supervisor Bob Nelson convinced his colleagues on the Board to request that the Council delay a City decision until further negotiations can be arranged.
Nelson said the site is located within the Orcutt Community Plan, “and has been an integral part of the Orcutt community.” He emphasized the annexation presents, “significant regional implications, particularly concerning water availability.”
Nelson maintained over the past few months the City and County have engaged in important discussions. “Moving forward with annexation at this time would risk cutting short these important conversations and potentially disrupt future regional planning efforts between the City of Santa Maria and Santa Barbara County.”
At the November 5 board meeting, Second District Supervisor Laura Capps and Board Chairperson Steve Lavagnino, serving the fifth district representing Santa Maria, supported Nelson’s request to send a letter to Santa Maria Mayor Alice Patino and the City Council asking the council to delay considering the annexation for 90 days so negotiations could continue.
