Heart House Ready for New Life

INDEPENDENT REAL ESTATE

COURTESY

s we inch closer to the one-year mark of the COVID-19 pandemic, we each have our list of things we miss. In addition to family, friends, and travel, I’ve missed the opportunities to bump into acquaintances and visit with “work friends” at meetings and networking events. One of the last fundraisers I attended before the shutdown was the annual Go Red for Women luncheon. Held on Valentine’s Day 2020 by the American Heart Association (AHA), it was an especially inspiring occasion full of friends, learning, and laughter. If you’ve volunteered with the local chapter of AHA, you’re probably familiar with its headquarters on West

The Independent table from the 2020 American Heart Association Go Red for Women luncheon

Figueroa Street. Over the years, I have attended board meetings, planned fundraising events, and stuffed gift bags galore on the huge conference table in its main room. Affectionately known as “The Heart House,” this cozy cottage has been the central hub of the organizations efforts to educate our community on the risks of heart disease and stroke. Like many others, the heart association has had to pivot this year. The Central Coast chapter has been folded into a larger regional effort. The local work will continue, but the office was closed in 2020. The end of this era means an opportunity for someone new. The 1,400-square-foot downtown cottage is now available either for lease or for purchase. Zoned commercial, it can be used in the current configuration as an office or be converted back into a residence. Sitting above the street, surrounded by a sandstone wall and a white picket fence, it’s obvious that this charming building was originally constructed as a family home. Built in the 1930s in the Craftsman style typical of many of the houses in the area, its raised porch, arched entryway, and signature red front door welcome visitors inside. Converted to office space in 1982, the house now boasts enclosed offices around the perimeter of the building, with a large central open space in the middle and a bathroom and kitchen toward the back. Wood-beamed cathedral ceilings soar overhead, a huge skylight lets in sunlight, and an enviable amount of storage has been worked into the design. The layout and features leave flexibility for a variety of future uses.

ADDRESS: 212 West Figueroa Street STATUS: On the market PRICE: $1,450,000 The house sits on a deep lot with a cute, compact yard in the front and a private patio in the rear. A long driveway leads back to a generous parking lot surrounded by a tall fence, with a storage shed on the far side of the lot. This substantial parcel offers potential for expansion or ADU possibilities.

The surrounding neighborhood is mostly residential, with a sprinkling of commercial buildings that become more plentiful as one moves closer to State Street. Either use will be right at home on this block, with the legacy of “The Heart House” and its years of good works and camaraderie echoing through the walls. February is designated as American Heart Month, and the American Heart Association’s National Wear Red Day is Friday, February 5. Learn more at goredforwomen.org.

212 West Figueroa Street in Santa Barbara is listed for sale or lease by Mitch Stark of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties. Reach Mitch at (805) 689-2429 or mitchell.s.stark@ gmail.com.

will the interests of the architect and client be presented, but the community can also rely upon the architect to respond to their needs as well. The American Institute of Architects and its California Chapters encourage government agencies and regulators to

remember that free expression is not only crucial for a free society but also essential in our collective efforts to support those who are the most creative in our midst. Creating spaces that are beautiful, engaging, and lively cannot be the product of a formula.

VILLAGE PROPERTIES WELCOMES BILLY GOLDSTEIN Director of Business Development and Strategy He has more than 15 years of experience in the real estate business, including in building and managing effective teams, maximizing sales production, developing business strategy, streamlining operations and project management, and leveraging market research. A graduate of Union College of New York, Goldstein launched his real estate career at Corcoran Sunshine Marketing Group, an industry leader in luxury residential development sales. Over eight years at the company and its affiliates, he worked in various roles, including as a research analyst, project manager, and salesperson. In 2014 he joined Compass as the Director of New Development, and later served as Managing Director, helping grow the company from a small rental firm to a national, full-service brokerage.

“Everyone I’ve met is incredibly friendly, supportive and engaged. I’m really excited to meet more of the agents and understand how I can help each of them uniquely expand their businesses, gain more market share, and expand the Village Properties brand,” Goldstein said. “My role is to add value through constructive refinements to an already stellar business. I’m looking forward to being a part of and complementing this amazing team.” Goldstein moved to the Santa Barbara area last year, with his fiancée Sara. When not working, Goldstein enjoys going to the beach, playing golf and tennis, and hiking. He is a member of the Urban Land Institute, the oldest and largest network of cross-disciplinary real estate and land use experts in the world. For more information, visit villagesite.com

REAL ESTATE SCOOP

FEBRUARY 4, 2021

Standards set forth the placement of buildings on lots, which can be constructed, where, and how. They provide examples of architectural styles, proportions, and composition. If the Standards could be created in a computer application, all one would have to do would be enter the square footage, the number of units, and preferred architectural style — and a few minutes later, a set of drawings would be spit out. Where is the creativity in that, and who wants to live in a community produced by a computer formula? This is also the central point about a city with a “brand,” like Santa Barbara’s Spanish Colonial Revival or Palm Springs’ Mid-century Modern. There is no way to avoid the codification of design standards, and the city is actively working to establish design standards. However, we should value the free flow of design and provide in these new regulations the expression of design. Our Republic is based upon the free expression of ideas, and while we don’t all have to agree, those engaged in design take their efforts at expression to a more tangible cause. Some do this well, and others not so much. But in the hands of a skilled and talented architect, we can trust that not only

o one likes to be told what to do or how to accomplish something, especially architects. The act of design is the free flow of creative energy and thought, not easily given to a checklist of standards. Technical standards are widely used in many aspects of our lives: medicine, technology, engineering, food service, and education, to name a few. So why would we not expect to have standards in architecture or design review? The purpose of establishing standards is so that there is a benchmark to measure from and at least a minimum expectation for our communities’ creation. There are plenty of standards in the practice of architecture, not the least of which is the voluminous regulations of the California Building Code. The challenge occurs when regulators wish to impose a narrow list of requirements upon architects’ creative efforts. Dictating to the design community how they are to design a building thereby narrows the architect’s innovative efforts in spite of their First Amendment right of self-expression. Design Standards dictate the shape, size, and arrangement of building elements. The

MAKING SENSE OF THE EVICTION MORATORIUMS

t can be confusing for renters and property owners alike when it comes to understanding and following the eviction moratoriums in place due to the COVID-19 pandemic. On Friday, Governor Newsom signed SB 91, a new bill that will use $2.6 billion in federal funds to help pay Californians’ rent. The current eviction moratorium was due to expire at the end of January and did not do enough to help property owners still struggling with trying to collect current and past due rents. The new bill, passed with bipartisan support, aims to help that situation.

mercial eviction moratorium through the end of March. This affects commercial properties in the unincorporated areas of Santa Barbara County. Businesses within the cities of Santa Barbara and Goleta also extended their commercial eviction moratoria through the end of March. For more information on other locations, it is advised that property owners and tenants consult their city’s website or offices.

INDEPENDENT REAL ESTATE

Under the previous eviction moratorium legislation, known as AB 3088, tenants had until January 31, 2021 to pay 25% of all back rent due since September 1, 2020. If they did not they would be subject to eviction. What SB 91 does is to extend those protections to June 30, 2021. The major difference is that the bill will use federal funds to pay property owners up to 80% of all back rent unpaid, going back to April 1, 2020. The program will cover property owners through the end of March 2021. In order to be eligible to receive the 80% funds a property owner will have to forgive the remaining 20% of all back rent due up through that same period. There are rules and

stipulations for this program including income eligibility limits, noticing requirements and waiting periods.
