The deal made on March 10 followed several protests and demonstrations on the West Mesa grounds earlier this year. Sean Crommelin / Daily Nexus Save the San Marcos Foothills (SSMF) made a deal with the Chadmar Group, the development company in ownership of the currently undeveloped land, to purchase the West Mesa on March 10. If the Chadmar Group honors the purchase, it will halt the planned development of luxury homes on the 101-acre West Mesa property and add the land to the directly adjacent 200-acre San Marcos Foothills Preserve. The existing preserve is owned by Santa Barbara County.
