An A-list singer is aiming to bring a massive youth camp to the Goleta Valley, though not all of the neighboring residents are too pleased about it.

Katy Perry and her Firework Foundation have their sights set on a tract of land near Santa Barbara, California for what will be called Gratitude Canyon, located at 183 Winchester Canyon Road in Goleta, California.

The camp, founded by the 41-year-old pop star and her sister, Angela Lerche, would be located on a 110.37-acre lot, with the foundation’s proposal set to go before the South Board of Architectural Review on Friday.

While it’s unclear if the proposal will go through, some neighboring residents have voiced concerns for the project as of late.

Winchester Canyon resident Dave Root sent a letter to the board, where he said that he and other neighbors were concerned about the impact on local traffic, fire hazard risk, water supply and wastewater capacity if the camp is approved.

He added that the project, “appears inconsistent with the core purpose and requirements” of the agricultural zoning designation.

The foundation claims they will preserve the property’s, “agricultural heritage and natural landscape through a low-impact design that maintains rural character, protects neighbor privacy, and fully aligns with County land use policies.”

The camp is, “envisioned as a place of inspiration and access for underserved youth from the surrounding region and local community, offering programming rooted in the arts, nature exploration, and creative expression.”

​They are intending to build new structures that will cover approximately 3% of the site, “preserving approximately 97% of the property as open landscape including restored habitat areas, orchards, pathways, outdoor recreation spaces, and nature-based use areas.”

The camp will include, “eight cabins, counselor housing, a director’s residence, a gymnasium, a dining hall, a pool, and landscaping improvements of nearly 55,350 square feet,” via EdHat.

The area will also include, “restored habitat areas, orchards, pathways, outdoor recreation spaces, and nature-based use areas.”

The site currently houses 22,833-square-feet of residence, agricultural storage and accessory structures.
