Montecito Approves Miramar Hotel Project

KEYT  reported today that the Miramar Hotel project resolved some parking issues before the Montecito Planning Commission voted 3 to 2 to give the project the green light. Members of the Commission received a 5,000-page document that describes the 170-room hotel with valet parking, a private membership club, a public beach, and a banquet hall.  The story poles viewed from 101 can come down. Developer Richard Caruso has been in an eight-year battle over the project. Possibly, the Miramar Hotel could be “up and running” by 2017.

In 2014 this was a reconfigured proposal for the Miramar Beach Resort and Bungalows (may not reflect the final outcome)
