Yesterday's News: Goleta Council Backs Inclusionary Exemption for Planned Assisted-Care Facility

Noozhawk/Applicants for Mariposa at Ellwood Shores got the nod from the Goleta City Council on Tuesday, which directed city staff to move forward with the General Plan Amendment the proposed 99-resident assisted-care facility would require.

The project drew a 4-0 vote of approval, with Councilwoman Margaret Connell abstaining.

Mariposa would be built at 7760 Hollister Ave.; Dixon’s Goleta Storage currently sits on the property, which is just under three acres in size.
