Design Review Board
There is one vacancy on the Design Review Board for a Design Professional Position (City-Resident) to fill an unexpired portion of a term ending February , 2026.

The Design Review Board has some of the most complex membership and quorum qualifications of all the City’s Boards and Commissions. At times this has proved to be difficult in both finding appointees and conducting business due to quorum requirements.

A quorum for this body is made up of four members as follows: a minimum of one licensed architect and one additional professional. A quorum must also include two City residents.

A professional who is also a City resident will satisfy both of these requirements.

As noted above, in June 2024, Elizabeth White (Design Professional) resigned from the Design Review Board . There is an opportunity today for Council to consider moving James van Order, (resident and current At-Large member) to the Design Professional position. B y doing so this will fulfill the quorum requirements left by the vacancy of Elizabeth White (Design Professional) . Should Council agree with staff’s recommendation, there would be only one vacancy to consider, the At-Large member.

Staff has confirmed the following interview times for the Design Review Board Applicant:

Scheduled Time Candidate Position Applying for
7:05 p.m. Jonathan Eymann At-Large

Ratification of the Mayor’s appointments will come before the City Council on November 19, 2024.

FISCAL IMPACTS:

There is no direct fiscal impact related to this recommendation.

ALTERNATIVES:

Council is under no obligation to make an appointment at this time. Taking no action would mean that existing Commissioners would continue to attend meetings until a new appointment is made . Council may desire to see further advertising done in order to ensure a greater applicant pool prior to a selection process.

Interests & Experiences
Question applies to multiple boards
Why are you interested in serving on a board, commission or committee? I want to join the commission because it seems like a good opportunity for youth to get involved in the city government, and I want to make a difference in the parks, trails, beaches, and open spaces that my family, friends, and I enjoy spending time in. I have grown up going camping and spending time outdoors so I think this would be a chance to help preserve the local parks so other people can enjoy them as I and many others have.

Question applies to multiple boards
Describe your qualifications, experience, and education, and list any technical or professional requirements you have relative to the duties of the board, commission or committee to which you are applying.

I spend a lot of time in the local parks and other recreational areas. I could contribute a lot from a youth perspective to help improve our city’s open spaces. While I do not have any technical/professional experience with this yet, I have plenty of real-life experience in the city’s parks and I am interested in contributing that knowledge to the commission and the city.

Lucas G Kuyper
14 Question applies to multiple boards
What are your goals in serving on the board, commission, or committee to which you are applying?
I hope to get more local hiking trails in the Goleta area and make our city parks a better experience for the people who use them so that kids will be outside enjoying the parks instead of inside on a screen. Secondly, I want to make some of the parks more usable partly by finding a non-toxic way to deal with the hazardous gopher holes so nobody gets injured and people can more easily use the fields for sport practices and playing in. My final goal is to learn more about my city’s government and get more involved in it. I want to make a difference in my community.

Question applies to Parks and Recreation Commission
List your relevant experience as it relates to your experience in parks and recreation activities.

I have played many sports, including lacrosse, tennis, baseball, pickleball, and soccer, so I know the importance of having good open parks and more opportunities for kids to participate and enjoy our parks. I hike a lot, and I spend a lot of time in our city’s open spaces so I understand the many uses of our local recreational areas. I think I could improve people's experiences with them since I spend a lot of time there.

Question applies to multiple boards
Have you obtained any memberships in professional organizations? I am a member of the Outdoor Alliance for Kids (OAK), an organization that helps connect children with the outdoors.

Question applies to multiple boards

Interests & Experiences
Question applies to multiple boards
Why are you interested in serving on a board, commission or committee? When I learned about this position, I was excited to apply. Having lived in Goleta my entire life I’ve witnessed both its growth and areas that could benefit from improvement, but I've always wondered how I could be involved and make a meaningful impact. With this opportunity I believe I could effectively bring issues from the community to the table and work with the fellow council members in order to address them. Additionally this role would deepen my understanding of city government and maintenance, and allow me to share that information with my local residents, especially youth. My passion for environmental science and connecting with others would also drive my contributions. I have also noticed a disconnect between the city and Goleta's youth, who are eager to be involved but need effective leadership to involve them. I am interested in being a part of that leadership if chosen for the role.

Alyssa K Flores
26 Question applies to multiple boards
Describe your qualifications, experience, and education, and list any technical or professional requirements you have relative to the duties of the board, commission or committee to which you are applying.

At school, I'm actively involved as the Asb sophomore class historian. In this role, while my primary responsibility is to photograph school events, I also work together with the other ASB members to coordinate details of activities and regularly attend school events to assist with setup and/or cleanup operations. I also maintain open lines of communication with fellow students, helping to address their questions or concerns. This role has strengthened my organizational and communication skills Through the Dos Pueblos Engineering Academy, I work to improve my critical thinking, design, and problem-solving abilities. The program’s project-based learning involves writing technical summaries and requires effective collaboration with peers and doing independent troubleshooting. I also participate in art club and journalism. In journalism, while new to the program , I’ve developed skills in interviewing, researching, and writing across various genres. In the art club, I connect with other students across all grade levels through our shared interest in art, planning fundraisers and working on projects like campus murals.

Question applies to multiple boards
What are your goals in serving on the board, commission, or committee to which you are applying?
If granted the opportunity to participate in this position my biggest priority would be to serve as an effective communication line from people my age and around me to the council/city government. This would help bridge the gap between local youth and the city government.

When young people feel heard, they are more motivated to make a meaningful impact in their community. Another one of my goals is to organize an event that engages youth while also benefiting the environment, such as a clothing swap or a gardening workshop for smaller children where they learn where their food comes from. I also want to build on community outreach. From butterflies to bike trails, by telling people about the environmental changes around them. Clear communication through social media or any monthly post would help everyone stay connected with the community and understand ongoing improvements.

Question applies to Parks and Recreation Commission
List your relevant experience as it relates to your experience in parks and recreation activities.

Though I haven't had formal experience in parks and recreation, I've witnessed how it's important to the community. Through my experience of living in goleta i've seen how meaningful these spaces are to the health and connection of the community. For example when the Johnny D Wallis park was built. I've witnessed the impact of this park where kids all over the Goleta area could come and have a nice clean space to play and connect with others. No matter how packed it was it always felt welcoming and changed the way I felt about how my community connects. The recent sidewalks have also had a positive effect, not only on my own street but through the entire community. People are more encouraged to exercise because they feel safer, it also makes it easier to form relationships with your neighbors when your able to walk down your street. These experiences have given me valuable insights into how our environment influences community behavior and overall well- being.

32 Question applies to multiple boards
Describe your qualifications, experience, and education, and list any technical or professional requirements you have relative to the duties of the board, commission or committee to which you are applying.

I attended Laguna Blanca High School for three years, where I was actively involved in various extracurricular activities, including participating in sports teams and community service projects. These experiences helped me develop strong leadership, communication, and organizational skills that are crucial for effective public relations work. Recently, I transitioned to an online learning platform, which has allowed me to enhance my adaptability and self-discipline. This shift has also provided me with a more flexible schedule, enabling me to dedicate ample time and focus to the responsibilities of the board. My online education has equipped me with a strong foundation in digital communication and media, which is particularly relevant to the work of public relations in today’s increasingly digital world.

Question applies to multiple boards
What are your goals in serving on the board, commission, or committee to which you are applying?
My primary goal in serving on the Board of Public Relations for the City of Goleta is to engage and inspire younger generations, particularly my peers and young adults, to become actively involved in public service and civic life. I am passionate about encouraging these individuals to recognize the impact they can have on their community and to feel excited about making meaningful changes within our city. Additionally, by using my voice and experiences, I want to contribute to shaping a narrative that highlights the significance of public service and demonstrates the tangible ways in which individuals can effect change within their community.

Question applies to Parks and Recreation Commission
List your relevant experience as it relates to your experience in parks and recreation activities.

I have a strong connection to our local parks, particularly Girsh Park, which has been an integral part of my experience in the community. I have attended numerous park functions at Girsh Park, enjoying the variety of events and activities that bring people together.

Additionally, I frequently use the parks for walking my dog, which has allowed me to appreciate their importance for both recreation and community well-being. Moreover, I have performed dance performances at various parks during Fiestas, including Girsh Park, which has given me a deeper appreciation for these spaces as venues for community events and artistic expression. My personal experiences with the parks have underscored their value and strengthened my commitment to supporting and enhancing public spaces in our city.

Question applies to multiple boards
Have you obtained any memberships in professional organizations? I have not yet obtained any memberships in professional organizations.

I have actively participated in beach clean-up activities, which has been a significant part of my volunteer experience.

Through these clean-ups, I’ve gained hands-on experience in organizing and leading volunteer initiatives, as well as an appreciation for the impact that collective action can have on maintaining and improving our natural spaces.

What are your goals in serving on the board, commission, or committee to which you are applying?
My goal in serving on the Goleta Parks and Recreation Commission is to be the bridge between the local government in Goleta and the youth. I want to be the one who is not afraid to speak up on the issues most pressing for Goleta youth and their families who may not have the ability to get involved. Access to open space and recreational opportunities are also important to me. At FLA, I was able to experience the outdoors by having our youth leadership conferences at a campsite, but I know that's not something many youth of color have access to, and its something I would like to change in my community. I also want to be a positive role model for other youth so they can also find ways to get involved in their community.

List your relevant experience as it relates to your experience in parks and recreation activities.

My experiences in parks and recreation activities include helping lead Future Leaders of America’s Youth Leadership Conference for the past 3 years, with my most recent being this August 5th-10th as a Facilitator where I lead leadership development workshops where incoming FLA youth learned more about creating a college-going culture, the importance of voting, and organizing while being in an outdoor environment.

I have done a good bit of preservation work with government in Japan. I instigated a movement to restore and preserve an old samurai home that was in danger of destruction.

The process took over ten years and I was involved at many stages. I have also served for about a year on the Goleta Historic Preservation Comission.

Question applies to Historic Preservation Commission
What do you believe to be the role of the Historic Preservation Commission? The Commission should evaluate the historical preservation opportunities in the region and make priorities among them. It should advocate for the importance of preservation and utilization of such resources. It should do this in consultation with community members and strive to incorporate community interests. It should also hunt up grant opportunities to enable relevant projects.

Question applies to Historic Preservation Commission
Why should be you be appointed to the Historic Preservation Commission ? I am interested and a capable historian and I would like to do it. I can also be a link to the Public History Program and History Department at UCSB and hopefully get students engaged.

Interests & Experiences
Question applies to multiple boards
Why are you interested in serving on a board, commission or committee? The built environment has a profound effect on the social world—it can bring peace or increase stress, enrich lives with beauty or afflict them with ugliness, foster prosocial interactions or divide groups and suppress activities, increase or decrease resiliency in the face of climate change. I’ve always had a strong interest in architecture and gardens, and not merely the formal beauty of the structures but their social use and context. I’m a lifelong Goletan; I’ve walked the Ellwood bluffs since preschool. I’ve watched the area develop, sometimes with appreciation, sometimes with regret. I love this place and I plan to live here the rest of my life. Especially with the influx of building projects I would like to contribute my vision to how the city develops. I can’t bring the wisdom of professional experience but I believe I could brings a valuable perspective to the planning process as a non-driving, disabled millennial who grew up the trailer park.

Krista L Rodkey
70 Question applies to Historic Preservation Commission Describe your qualifications, interest, education, and/or knowledge regarding Historic Preservation of buildings and structures and /or the preservation of Archaeological and Tribal Cultural Resources?
I have an amateur interest in history, archeology, architecture, and landscape. I also grew up as the beneficiary of previous historical commission work preserving Sextant House through the compromise with the hotel, Barndall Station. Most importantly for me I spent many happy days rambling through the old gardens of Stow House. Linda Foster, the caretaker of Stow House from 90s to the 00s was a family friend and I took art lessons from her from age ten. We would go out and draw plants, old stone walls , the machinery in the stable yard, and views of Los Carneros. Over those many years I watched a lot of changes and heard a lot of gossip about the running of grounds--the decision that the Lemon Festival was too hard on the grounds, the discovery of the old drive lined by olive trees, the competing needs of blacksmith, wedding venue, school tours, Civil War reinactors, train enthusiasts, large and small, plant conservationists, etc. So I would say this has given me a window into how multifaceted historic properties can be--and how richly they can benefit the community.

I’m a recent LEAD Goleta grad and the program educated me on the inner workings of the city. Actually, Peter Imhof’s presentation on the coastal commission and design review board was my favourite and it cemented my conviction that this is a part of city life I would like to participate in. I have a professional background in philosophy—I have my MSt from Oxford University and my PhD from Indiana University, Bloomington. I concentrated in ethics and aesthetics, especially Plato and Hume on the virtue of justice. That might sound inapplicable to a design review board but the nature of the city is of fundamental importance to Plato and I always find it useful to read him alongside Jane Jacobs. I also find the ancient history of the city fascinating—I’m a bit of a Mesopotamian nerd—and again looking at the archeological record always seems to cross-connect with issues from infrastructure channels like Not Just Bikes. My only formal training in architecture was a class on Roman architecture, for which we read Vitruvius’s Nine Books of Architecture and studied a bunch of archeological examples. But I have long indulged an amateur’s passion for architectural and landscape history, formal gardens, mazes, topiary, etc. And I have supplemented books with my own travel experience when possible. In the last five years I’ve been learning a great deal about gardening. I love trees and native plants and I’ve been redoing our my garden to increase the native plants and environmental benefits. I’m signed up to take Environmental landscaping I and II through SBCC Open Extension. I think I will probably get the Green Gardener and environmental landscape certificates within the next year (or two if there are scheduling issues).

Krista L Rodkey
71 Question applies to multiple boards
What are your goals in serving on the board, commission, or committee to which you are applying?
I would try to balance multiple goals 1. Pedestrian friendliness/ bike and bus accessibility— As a pedestrian I often encounter enclosures that prevent a natural path for no particular reason. (E.G. a fence or wall that blocks passage to a bus stop and necessitates a lengthy detour. By looking at plans with a pedestrian eye I would hope to catch and address these spots. There are further issues of shade, shelter from traffic, adequate bike parking, etc, but this would be a start. 2. Lasting architectural beauty—Much as I love the Arts and Crafts tradition and the Spanish-Moorish and ranch styles that currently characterise much of Goleta’s architecture, I would rather have a building with good structural lines outside those styles than one with the trappings of the ‘right’ style but bad proportions. In fact, I personally would be glad to see some buildings of a soft modernist style in a distinctively Goletan style.

E.g. to draw on the Ellwood Station tiling patterns in new ways. 3. Increasing Goleta’s environmental assets—I believe that we can use even the smallest opportunities to increase wildlife habitat and climate resilience. I also think we should look for ways to use impact mitigation measures to create parklet-like spaces with a strong design component and artistic impact. For instance using required tree planting to form a wooded alley, a circle of trees to create our own sort of Ashdome, or a screened nook with a fountain and a tranquil atmosphere. I think green spaces of this sort would have great social, economic, and environmental value. I love the formal gardening tradition and I think it would be exciting to try to bring some of these old forms—hedge maze, topiary, color-themed plantings, etc into being with native plants.

Question applies to Historic Preservation Commission
What do you believe to be the role of the Historic Preservation Commission? I believe its role is to preserve for the community objects (buildings, trees, areas, relics, views, etc) of significance to the landscape and its inhabitants' history. I think the listen and evaluate claims of historical merit from different groups and voice the community's interest in preserving its history when that is threatened by development or neglect. I think is is their role to ensure that multiple communities' history is represented and that historical significance is not restricted just to the what is deemed picturesque by one group. For instance, in the current debate about the old airport hangers I think is is quite important that they should be preserved. My experience with the old machines the in the Stow House stable yard taught me that even rusty farm equipment is valuable and beautiful to a whole host of unexpected people. If it is gone, it cannot be re-created; if it is preserved it can enrich the lives even of those who don't know or care about it. I think it has a special role in ensuring that the Chumash and other tribal heritages are preserved. These are particularly and risk and in light of past losses and injustices it is important that further losses be prevented, and that tribal voices about what is culturally significant are heeded.

Question applies to Historic Preservation Commission
Why should be you be appointed to the Historic Preservation Commission ? I'm a proud Goleta resident, ready to learn and listen to different voices, happy to build consensus and play my part in the commission's advising and fact-finding role. I am also eager to serve my community in this time of mandated building where there will be more pressure than ever to bulldoze anything 'in the way" of new projects. I would be ready to push for halt, abatement, or concession as needed on behalf of the community, present and future. As mentioned above I think my experience with Stow House has given me some insight into what diverse things might be of historic value, from particular trees or old gardens to smithy equipment, old wells, stone walls, a carriage drive, a beloved view, a caboose, a transported station platform, or an old bunkhouse.

Interests & Experiences
Jonathan W. Eymann
89 Question applies to multiple boards
Why are you interested in serving on a board, commission or committee? I love Goleta and have since I originally moved here to attend UCSB in 1968. My three sons were born, raised, and still live here along with my 6 grandchildren. For years I, with many other residents, longed for Cityhood and when we finally won that status I was thrilled that we could guard our unique character from the domination of our neighbors to the south and could have the ability to better chart our own course. After our children grew and left the house, my wife and I relocated to Ventura County to downsize. Throughout our 13 years living an hour away, however, we continued to work in Goleta and care deeply about the community. We have just succeeded, after a year's effort, in purchasing a new condominium in Goleta and are eager to not only return to our family roots but to increase our involvement in and service to our community, especially since I have retired a year and a half ago from full-time civil service employment.

I am very familiar with our community after living and/or working here for more than 50 years. I have a BA from UCSB and an MA in clinical psychology from Antioch University in Santa Barbara. Years of working in my father's photography business (largely involved with commercial and architectural photography) helped me learn the importance of design, balance, scale, composition, light, and texture, and the incredible power of images and appearance. As a psychotherapist and as a team supervisor and manager I have learned to listen carefully to others, assist them to clearly express their own points of view, and help assure that they understand the perspective of others. I am skilled at promoting dialogue, collaboration, and creative problem solving, as well as thinking systemically and balancing competing interests. My 13 years of service in providing mental health care through Santa Barbara County Behavioral Wellness to residents of Goleta has helped me to gain a deeper insight into how some members of our community may be impacted by decisions made regarding projects in their neighborhood and elsewhere within the community. One aspect of the course I have taught on Community Mental Health in the Master's Degree program at Antioch addresses the impact of aesthetics, style and landscaping in a development on those nearby, as well as all who view the final construct, whether the project is a sign or a significant public structure. My limited time on the Goleta City Design Review Board has helped me become more attuned to the City approval processes and the relevant regulations that pertain to development and building modification in our community. In addition, I have had the experience of preparing and submitting an application for a conditional use permit to the County in the 1980s, and of building my own house as owner-builder in the, including working with the building designer on the floor plan and basic design features, exterior materials, elevations, and landscaping. I also served on our Homeowners Association Board for 6 years. My role as a pastor in Goleta for nearly 50 years has helped me understand the concerns of literally hundreds of local residents drawn from a very diverse range of community members.

Question applies to multiple boards
What are your goals in serving on the board, commission, or committee to which you are applying?
I want to help Goleta move into the future in a way that respects our past and our distinct character as a community. For that to happen, commissioners must assist our elected officials "to balance the public good with private rights and interests." I have a great interest in land use and development concerns in that the supply of open space is finite and the important uses to which it may be dedicated are diverse. The design elements of whatever is put on any part of our community have significant and unavoidable impacts on everyone in the community. A balanced and sensitive approach needs to be sought out if we are to continue to be "the Good Land" that I have enjoyed being a part of since first moving here.

Jonathan W. Eymann
90 Question applies to multiple boards
Have you obtained any memberships in professional organizations? I am a member of both the State and local chapter of the Association of Marriage and Family Therapists and was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa in recognition of outstanding scholarship at UCSB.

Question applies to Planning Commission
What do you believe to be the role of the Planning Commission.

To help our local government faithfully and sensitively apply the general plan and pertinent regulations and laws to the use of land and resources in the city of Goleta, and to work with the community and the City Council in regard to any future changes in the General Plan. In addition, to assist our elected officials and city employees in anticipating future trends and needs. To assist the residents of Goleta and other interested parties, especially in the venue of public hearings, in determining how proposals for development or changes in land use may or may not be acceptable in light of the existing general plan and applicable rules and regulations.

Question applies to multiple boards
What civic and/or volunteer activities have you participated in? You may include past or present activities.

Being a lover of local history, and acutely aware how so much of the early days of Goleta had disappeared, my wife and I applied for and obtained County Historical Landmark status for the Sexton House (built in 1880 on Hollister Avenue) and much of its historic botanical gardens. We were privileged to own and live on the property for nearly 10 years in the late 70s and early 80s. When it became apparent that I could not fully restore the house and grounds we realized we would have to sell and move. We decided, however, that we would take steps to try to guarantee its preservation for future generations even though we expected that doing so would reduce the value of the property. For close to 10 years with the support of our church and a number of other churches and organizations I promoted an annual celebration of Goleta each Thanksgiving season by organizing a community celebration called "Give Thanks Goleta". In that non-sectarian event, we extolled the virtues of our hometown. Currently, under my direction, my church also participates in the Old Town Christmas Parade. We also have served our neighborhood as a polling site in elections on about two dozen occasions. I have participated in a number of live community meetings dealing with the problem of homelessness in the Goleta Valley and participated live or online in conversations about several other issues including the design of the new train station and discussions about old town redevelopment and the future of the Community Center on Hollister. I am personally CERT trained and my church is a member of VOAD (Volunteer Organizations Active in Disaster). I personally helped provide mental health services to evacuees during the Thomas Fire.

Question applies to Design Review Board
List your relevant experience as it relates to: A) Reading plans (i.e. site plans, elevations, roof plans, building sections, grading plans, landscape plans, photometrics, lighting cut-sheets, sign plans, and sign sections). B) Making findings (i.e. determining if a project be compatible with the neighborhood in terms of size, bulk and scale; if a project has a well- defined/harmonious relationship to its surroundings; if a project impacts or enhances a viewshed; if a project will respect the privacy of neighbors.

Prior to my 4 years of service on the DRB, my experience in these areas was as an amateur concerned with two significant remodel projects at our churches and others at my homes, as well as helping design and then building a home on Lincolnwood Drive as owner-builder.

Jonathan W. Eymann
91 Date of Birth
Question applies to Design Review Board
Describe your design philosophy for buildings, landscaping, signage and lighting. For Architects and Landscape Professional, in your schooling, which architect or landscape architect influenced you the most and why? In brief, I feel the fundamental issue is context. If the style and scale of a project or sign is departing from the precedent set for the area of the project, the extent of the innovation has to be more carefully evaluated for its impact on immediate neighbors, nearby properties, passers-by on foot and in vehicles. It should also be considered as far as compliance with any overarching community guidelines (like the long-standing preference for red-tile roofs and stucco in much of Santa Barbara) if any. Finding a balance between drawing attention and being intrusive seems to often be a challenge. I value creativity and innovation but have a certain conservative tendency that prompts me to want to look closely at any proposal and not assume that different or newer is better. Neither is the usual always preferable.

Question applies to Design Review Board
What are the reasons why you believe you should be appointed to the Design Review Board?
I was informed of new openings on this commission via an email from the City.

Ethnicity
Gender
My voice as an aesthetically aware, but architecturally non-professional member of the community could be a helpful input into important discussions. I imagine I could help those more highly trained than I stay connected to the values and thought processes of the typical resident of Goleta. My ability to promote clear and calm discussion and help mediate broadly supported conclusions may also be beneficial.
