The Buellton City Council approved its consent calendar on July 10, including minutes from its June 26 meeting and the list of claims for the fiscal year. Council also approved a security reduction release related to a two-lot project at 43440 Central Avenue that will result in six total living units (each lot: a duplex with an accessory dwelling unit).

Public Works Director Rose Hess told the council the project had received planning, engineering and building approvals and that zoning clearance was the applicable ministerial entitlement (no development plan was required). The council asked whether the project had been posted on the city's Build In Engage page; staff said ministerial zoning clearances are generally not posted because they are not discretionary.

Council members asked clarifying questions about the number of units (staff confirmed six total units across two lots) and then approved the security reduction release. The items on the consent calendar were approved by unanimous roll call.

Ending
Minutes and claims were ratified and the council moved on to presentations; no further action was requested on the Central Avenue project.
