Shall the City Charter be revised by amending Charter Section 814 to reduce the number of Members on the Architectural Board of Review (the "ABR") from nine (9) to seven (7) members and to allow the City Council to appoint up to three (3) ABR members from persons registered to vote within Santa Barbara County and not necessarily just within the City of Santa Barbara as currently required?

Impartial Analysis from Steven P. Wiley, Santa Barbara City Attorney
This measure would amend City Charter section 814 to decrease the size of the City's Architectural Board of Review (the "ABR") from nine (9) board members to seven (7) board members. The measure also would allow, but not require, the Santa Barbara City Council to appoint up to three (3) ABR members who live outside the City so long as the persons appointed to the ABR are voters who are registered within Santa Barbara County. Otherwise, existing Charter section 802 requires all persons appointed to the ABR to be registered voters residing within the City.

This measure would provide that the City Council may adopt an ordinance to establish a method for appropriately transitioning the ABR from nine (9) board members to seven (7) board members.
