The City of Santa Barbara wants to put solar panels atop the Granada Garage, but the Historic Landmarks Commission doesn t want them to be seen at least from Anapamu Street.
The proposal is for a 500-kilowatt solar photovoltaic system that also would function as a parking canopy on the upper level of the Granada Garage.
