The October 18th Montecito Planning Commission (MPC) meeting, scheduled for the purposes of discussing the Rosewood Miramar’s proposed expansion for mixed-use housing, abruptly ended when Commissioner Sandy Stahl recused herself halfway through, causing the commission to lose its required quorum. The mixed-use housing development plan being considered, in advance of next week’s scheduled County Planning […]
Friday, October 18 was a dark day for those who care about the principles of integrity and fairness in Montecito. This was the day the Montecito Planning Commission utterly failed in its mission to faithfully abide by its legal and ethical obligations in representing our community. Their unfinished hearing amounted to a self-inflicted wound that […]
Mr. Hazard, let’s begin with your 1st point (MJ Vol. 30_40, October 3-10, 2024) that the Rosewood expansion will provide “Workforce Housing for Employees.” Yes, affordable Housing is GREAT but only when it’s available to the community at large, not for self-serving interests taking advantage of a poorly written bill; SB-330. So 26 affordable housing […]

What will the CPC be […]
On the cover of the previous issue (Sep. 26, 2024), we inadvertently used a rendering from a group opposed to the Rosewood Miramar development instead of the proposed rendering that had been provided by Caruso’s team to the County Planning Commission. This was unintentional and accidental. The image had also been modified without notification by […]
I was dismayed to see the Journal’s front-page headline stating that the Miramar “short circuits local process and heads to county,” accompanied by a fabricated image of the project. The Miramar has done nothing except recognize, along with the County, that the law leaves the jurisdiction of this matter with the County rather than with […]
I was one of many people who spoke in favor of the Miramar project at a recent Montecito Association Board Meeting. There were a significant number of residents who joined me, reflecting what I believe to be the consensus among many in the broader Montecito community; this is a great plan that will improve the […]
The latest industry win for the Rosewood Miramar Beach, Montecito’s only (open) luxury oceanfront resort, is a rare triumph, and on a global scale. The striking 16-acre property has been awarded a triple five-star rating by Forbes. The listing in Forbes’ 2024 Travel Guide includes the coveted top-of-the-list five stars for the hotel, another five […]
