Ventura County Holding Series Of Public Hearings To Develop New General Plan

It’s the plan which serves as guidance for future development in a community, and all cities and counties in the state have them.

But, it’s been nearly three decades since Ventura County has updated its General Plan. The County is in the process of developing a new version of the plan, which is set to expire in 2020. The 20 year plan being created will serve is the planning blueprint for the unincorporated areas of the county.

This week, the County Planning Division begins a series of 12 public hearings to get public comments on what should go into the plan, which addresses issues ranging from open space to transportation and housing.

The kickoff meeting begins at six tomorrow night, at the Rancho Santa Rosa Property Owners Association Clubhouse in Camarillo.
