This month\, we will be hearing from Ellen Kokinda\, Santa Barbara City Planner & previous Design Review Supervisor\, who will be joined with Santa Barbara’s new Architectural Historian. \nEllen Kokinda is an urban planner with over a decade of experience in community development\, land use policy\, and public engagement. She currently serves as City Planner with the City of Santa Barbara’s Community Development Department\, having previously served as Design Review Supervisor. In both roles\, she has guided applicants through the City’s permitting and design review processes and advised on how to keep projects moving forward. Ellen is currently overseeing the City’s Single Family Streamlining Project — an initiative to simplify the approval process for single-family residential projects through Zoning Ordinance and Single Family Design Board amendments\, balancing greater flexibility for homeowners with Santa Barbara’s tradition of quality architecture and neighborhood character. Prior to moving to the West Coast\, Ellen worked with the City of Cambridge’s Community Development Department\, leading the development of a Net Zero Action Plan — a multi-stakeholder process that resulted in the City adopting a 25-Year roadmap toward net zero carbon emissions from building operations. Ellen holds a Master of Arts in Urban & Environmental Policy & Planning from Tufts University and a Bachelor of Arts in Media Arts & Design from James Madison University. \n  \n \n\n\nAIA Women in Architecture (WIA) is dedicated to fostering relationships among women in the design industry\, supporting career growth\, and increasing the visibility of women in architecture. Our group includes a diverse range of architects and allied professionals – from firm owners to recent graduates – working together to make a positive impact in our profession and community.
