141 North AvenueSanta Maria, CA 93455Sale Price: $120,000

Pretty trees all in a row on this 1.5+ acres adjacent to an attractive greenbelt! Centrally located, there is water, sewer, and electricity in the paved street.  Dimensions are approximately 628 ft wide by 105 ft deep.  Zoning is REC Recreation.  Zoning permits “outdoor public and/or private recreational uses, e.g., parks, campgrounds, recreational vehicle accommodations,” etc.  A Minor Conditional Use Permit would allow a “residential structure for a caretaker” or “transitional and supportive housing.”  The seller and agent have no additional information on the definitions of these phrases or what this property might be used for.  Interested buyers will want to study the zoning code and then contact the Santa Barbara County Planning and Development Department (not the listing agent) with questions about building requirements and allowed uses.  The buyer might also ask the County about seeking a zoning variance to allow some other use.  Per the county, a variance has not been requested to date.  You can’t beat the price, so roll up your sleeves, do a little independent research, and see what you can do! Terms: Cash or seller may carry the loan with $30,000 down at 6% interest for 10 years. Payments would be $1,321.14 per month. Seller may also consider other terms.
