In conducting her survey, Ms Uribe could have asked a third question: "Do you know that the Goleta Design Review Board has reviewed plans for another hotel at the corner of Storke Road and Phelps Road?" This hotel was long planned as a part of the Camino Real Marketplace complex, along with a soccer field and an ice skating rink that have yet to be built. Notices that the DRB would be reviewing each of these three proposed hotel projects appeared in the Goleta Valley Voice and in the DRB agendas posted on the City of Goleta website http://goleta.govoffice.com/

One reason this part of the Bishop Ranch hasn't been farmed for many years is they have no water. Their water supply from Lake Cachuma is instead being given to Goleta Water District (delivered to the District's Corona Del Mar Water Treatment Plant in the foothills on the ranch on the north side of Cathedral Oaks). In exchange, the District is providing water to the Camino Real Market Place. So water that was originally intended for agriculture is instead being used for commerce. And this transfer is perfectly legal, according to the parties involved.
