The following regulations shall apply in the C-L Limited Commercial Zone unless otherwise provided in this
chapter. (Ord. 3710, 1974; Ord. 2585, 1957.)
28.57.005 Legislative Intent.
The C-L Limited Commercial Zone is designed to be applied to a particular area of the City because of that area's
unique characteristics and its relation to other zones and activities in the community. The land classified in this zone
is located on State Street, which is described by the General Plan as being the principal street in the community
reflecting the character of Santa Barbara and requiring, therefore, special treatment. State Street connects the
Shoreline and Harbor areas, the Central Business District and Civic Center and the northside commercial and
residential district.
The particular section of State Street for which this zone is designed is located above and adjacent to the Central
Business District in close proximity to residential areas. General office, hotel and related commercial uses are
appropriate and the General Plan so indicates. Also, certain commercial activities of a low intensity nature may be
compatible in the commercial community established by this zone.
In all developments in this area, however, the City must exercise sufficient design, construction and operation
controls to assure that the desirable characteristics of State Street in this area are maintained and enhanced and that
the adjacent residential environment is protected and preserved, especially in terms of light, air and existing visual
amenities. (Ord. 4005 §10, 1979; Ord. 3710, 1974; Ord. 2585, 1957.)
28.57.030 Uses Permitted in the C-L Zone.
A. Any use permitted in the R-O, C-O and R-4 Zones and subject to the use restrictions and limitations
contained in the respective zone, except that any such use specifically mentioned hereafter shall be subject to the use
restrictions of the C-L Zone.

1. Antique shop.
