Summerland Planning Area

MontecitoThe Summerland Planning Area is located on the South Coast between the communities of Santa Barbara and Carpinteria and includes the community of Summerland. The planning area is bordered by Ortega Ridge Road on the west, East Valley Road to the north, Greenwell Avenue on the east, and the Pacific Ocean on the south. Summerland was originally subdivided in 1888 as a spiritualist community. In 1898, Summerland was the first place in the world to have an offshore oil well.  Remnants of Summerland’s past may still be seen in its beaches and inland areas.
