The Palms Restaurant-Retail to CPC and The Surfliner Inn to Carp ARB
Their reopening anxiously anticipated, The Palms Restaurant project at 701 Linden Avenue is scheduled for the Carpinteria Planning Commission on December 2. The project cleared the Carp Architectural Review Board (ARB) in October. Currently it is an 11,453 square-foot lot with a 10,508 square-foot, two-story building on site. Renovations include a new third story addition to the existing building, a restaurant and market cafe retail area on the ground floor, a banquet/event space on the second floor, and its center opened up for natural light.
The controversial Surfliner Inn on City Parking Lot #3 will have its day with the Carpinteria ARB on December 12. Story Poles will be placed November 25, and two thirds of the parking lot will be closed. After the ARB meeting, the project must be reviewed for Environmental Impact prior to the City Planning Commission meeting(s). These public meetings are held at Carp City Hall, 5775 Carpinteria Ave and via their online simulcast.
