Orcutt Planning Area

The Orcutt Planning Area (OPA) is located immediately south of the City of Santa Maria and contains approximately 14,650 acres within 10,300 assessors parcels. Consistent with State law, the planning area boundary contains both the unincorporated urban areas of the community of Orcutt and adjacent rural unincorporated areas which either have some potential for urbanization during the next 20 years (e.g., west Orcutt), or are related to the urban area from a resource perspective (e.g., Solomon Hills).
