3. NEW CITY COUNCIL MEETING TIMES – EVENING MEETINGS ONLY STARTING TUESDAY, OCTOBER 1.
Goleta’s major Zoning Plan revision will potentially impact every single property in Goleta, where you live and shop, own or rent. Just take a look at the major topic list in the paragraph after next that we culled from the staff report (you should really look at the agenda and staff report for yourself to review sections you are most interested in.)
Major zoning code areas that will be covered at the Planning Commission meeting(s) include environmental, development and commercial issues. Below, see just SOME of these issues and the intent of the recommended changes.
TO MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD: If you can’t attend, you can submit comments to the Planning Commissioners via the City Clerk at cityclerkgroup@cityofgoleta.org;
Or mail: Attn: Planning Commission and City Clerk at 130 Cremona Drive, Suite B Goleta, California 93117.
ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES:
On the recommendation of Goleta’s volunteer Public Engagement Commission, the City Council approved starting its meetings in early evening. This will make it more convenient for people who work during daytime hours to attend the meetings or watch them on TV. In addition, it is hoped that it will increase the number of people who would consider serving on Goleta’s City Council.
This new meeting schedule will begin at 5:30 PM, October 1, 2019, (with their closed session taking place at 4:00 PM). You can view the October 1 meeting agenda here. Meetings will continue to take place on the first and third Tuesdays of each month and will start at 5:30PM on those dates.
There are several ways to watch a meeting: –
Come in person to City Hall Council Chambers (130 Cremona Drive, Suite B); Live or at any time on the City’s website (https://tinyurl.com/GoletaMeetings)
Channel 19 live on Tuesday meeting dates, or rebroadcast on Wednesdays at 10AM and 5PM.

Mayor Paula Perotte said, “In addition to the recently opened Jonny D. Wallis Neighborhood Park in Old Town Goleta, this field shows the City’s commitment to creating spaces for the community to gather.”
Besides the ribbon cutting, there will be fun activities for children. Mayor Perotte will also give a walking tour of the renovated one-acre site which includes new natural grass turf with gopher mesh for the field, new irrigation, a walking perimeter path, and a fitness station.
