Proposed Expansion from Rosewood Miramar

Rosewood Miramar reps were in front of the Montecito Association Land Use Committee on Tuesday presenting on a newly proposed project to add more employee housing as well as 12 new resort shops plus a café, and 15 market-rate apartments that would be available for long-term rent. The employee housing would be located on what is currently the eastern parking lot, and the new shops and market-rate apartments would be located on the western corner of the property, at the corner of South Jameson and Eucalyptus Lane. 

While the project is still in early stages, Miramar reps report the affordable housing component would have a maximum income requirement around $80,000/year. The market-rate units would be for long-term rent, and would appeal to those who want to live on the grounds of the Miramar and access Miramar amenities. No word yet on the specific retailers for the shops, or the cost of the long-term rentals. 

The permit application is newly submitted, and the project will be required to be seen by the Montecito Planning Commission and Montecito Board of Architectural Review. We’ll have much more on this project as additional information is released.
