Every lot in the City of Santa Barbara is zoned for a second unit
Why not install a 1, 2 or 3-bedroom pre-fabricated (off-site built) home for under $100,000? Increase the value of your property and make more decent housing available for renters at affordable prices! Imagine a home for your parents or kids, right next door!
Or, how about building "Granny Flats" around town, managed by the Prospective Homeowners Association, in fact, possibly "paid for" by this organization - for the purpose of leasing to prospective buyers of our other homes on other properties, but in the "Granny Flats" these prospective buyers could save funds for their eventual purchase elsewhere! These Granny Flats built on properties that have existing homes might lease for an amount that would pay off the cost of building the Granny Flat, but any amount charged to the tenant/prospective homebuyer could apply towards a down payment fund for that individual prospective homeowner.

Assembly votes to override cities’ rules for ‘granny flats’ (06/12/2004)
Please support the passage of this bill - Call Hannah-Beth Jackson, State Assembly District 35, Santa Barbara & Sen. Tom McClintock
Steinberg’s bill allows cities to require that applicants for a second unit either own the main home or live in the second. But it bans most other requirements that cities have created to discourage them, including covered parking, units no larger than 325 square feet and a ban on renting the unit. The bill now goes to the Senate for consideration. It must pass by Aug. 31 and be signed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger by Sept. 30 to become law.
