Why here
Estates with several buildings, and design review outside.
A Montecito or Hope Ranch property is often a main house, a guest house, a pool house and a garden, and lighting control there is a property-wide system: processors linked between buildings, keypads in each, landscape lighting on schedules, and shades on the rooms that face the ocean or the afternoon sun. County Line plans the wiring and the links between buildings at rough-in, alongside the low-voltage backbone.
Montecito and Hope Ranch are unincorporated and permitted by Santa Barbara County. In Montecito, projects subject to design review go before the Montecito Board of Architectural Review, and the county's Montecito Architectural Guidelines include standards for site exterior lighting. Addresses inside the City of Santa Barbara are permitted by the city. County Line plans exterior lighting and its controls for the review that applies.
