After more than a year of city review a 42-unit housing project of condominiums, apartments, live/work space and businesses is taking shape along Carpinteria Avenue.
Officials hope the proposed Craftsman-style homes coupled with storefronts along the main avenue will revitalize that end of town, where Coco’s Restaurant recently went under and most agree a bit of polishing wouldn’t hurt.
Plans include 5,116 square feet of commercial space, 32 three-story market-rate condominiums, six low-income apartments and four live/work space units for residents who will run businesses from home.
