Our Plan
Proposed land plan for the 1,616 acre site.
4,000 Homes
71% Designed for Working Families and First-Time Buyers
The Solomon Hills community will feature a distinctive collection of neighborhoods with a variety of homes. Whether you prefer a single-family home, a duplex or a townhome, you will find plenty of options to suit your needs and lifestyle.
Work Campus
2,000 Jobs at the Center of the Community
The Solomon Hills community will feature a state-of-the-art work campus at its heart, integrating work as a core element of the community. This dynamic space will support up to 2,000 new jobs, providing ample opportunities for growth and collaboration among various employers and local businesses. Residents will also benefit from productivity-enhancing remote work facilities, making it easier to balance work and life within the community.
Carbon Neutral by 2040
Beneficial for Both the People and the Planet
If approved by Santa Barbara County, Solomon Hills will be a carbon-neutral residential community by 2040. This means the total carbon emissions produced by the residential community are balanced by the amount of carbon removed or offset through renewable energy sources, smart technologies, resource conservation, environmental preservation, sustainable construction materials and sustainable building practices.
Being carbon neutral is beneficial for both people and the planet. Carbon neutrality is achieved through efficient energy use and reduced fuel consumption, both of which lead to significant savings on utility bills. In addition to reducing environmental impacts, it improves air quality and promotes the health of everyone living and working in Solomon Hills.
Renew
Giving the Land a New Purpose
Like many California communities safely built on land with an oil and gas production past, homes in Solomon Hills will be built on land where all oil-related infrastructure has been carefully removed in compliance with local, state, and federal requirements.
Repurposing the land’s use is the first of many sustainability practices that will be implemented, such as:
Community Wide
Solar Integration
Aligning With
Santa Barbara County’s
Climate Action Plan
Energy Efficient
Building Standards
Incorporating Central Coast Community Energy 3CE Green Energy Initiatives
Aligning With California’s Comeback Plan to Achieve Carbon Neutrality by 2040
