SANTA MARIA, Calif. (KEYT) - The City of Santa Maria is getting set for what is projected to be a very busy period of growth over the next two decades.
At the recent 2026 Santa Maria Valley Housing Summit, a presentation delivered by Santa Maria Community Development Director, Chenin Dow, showed housing development is already extremely active and will continue to be for years to come.
Key numbers Dow relayed show there are currently 5,631 housing units that are currently in the development pipeline, the vast majority of those classified as either multi-family or accessory dwelling unit (ADU).
Dow added that looking ahead to the year 2045, Santa Maria is planning to add 16,140 housing units over that time period, along with a population growth of 58,265 more residents.
With very little open space left within the city limits that is zoned for housing, Santa Maria is preparing to facilitate future growth with the potential annexation of land on the east side of Highway 101.
The city is now looking at 985-acre annexation of land that is currently within unincorporated Santa Barbara County.
