Welcome to the Mesa Village Planning Website,

created by the Mesa Architects, a neighborhood volunteer group.

The Mesa is part of the City of Santa Barbara, California, USA.

We consider the Mesa to be a prototypical “village” within our coastal city, one that can offer its inhabitants an ideal semi-urban living environment.  The goal of the Mesa Architects is to help strengthen the community, self-sufficiency and sustainability of this village.

With this website we hope to support a Mesa Village planning process by providing information about existing conditions on the Mesa, offering ideas for improvement, and providing a forum for comment on these ideas.  The website offers our vision for the future of the Mesa, but it is a work in progress.  We want it to evolve with input from the community so that we can reach a common vision of what our village can become.  This site can be a tool the community can use to help create change now, and influence our future through the Mesa Land Use Planning section of the coming City General Plan update.
