Community Development staff member Joe Pearson introduced the segment and passed the presentation to Roy Solis and Christopher Murillo, assistant planners who walked commissioners through project maps and status summaries. Solis and Murillo said the figures presented are approximate because most projects remain in development.

Key residential projects noted include North Shore at Mandalay Bay (183 single-family residences), Edding Road apartments (58 units, of which staff said 57 would be affordable), Lockwood senior apartments (Lockwood 1: 173 units; Lockwood 2: 168 units), Encanto (27 single-family homes, 7 affordable), Cypress Place at Garden City (150 units), Casa Aliento (conversion of former Vagabond Inn into 70-unit supportive housing), Panorama Apartments (333 units) and F Street condominiums (40 units).

Mixed-use and shelter projects included the Navigation Center at 241 West Second Street — a five-story building planned to provide 56 affordable supportive units with a permanent 13,078-square-foot shelter space on the ground floor — plus several midrise mixed-use apartment projects in plan check (Billboard Lofts, C Street, Sandpiper, Aspire, Rio Urbana).

Commercial and industrial items counted projects ranging from a U-Haul facility, a 88-room hotel (True Hotel), multiple drive-through coffee and quick-serve restaurant conversions, hotels at the Towne Centre/landing area, and large logistics/warehouse projects, notably the 101 Logistics Center at Sachioka Farms and a planned cold-storage facility on Arturas Avenue.

Commissioners asked detailed follow-up questions. Commissioner Nash asked about the Edison Canal; staff said they were not aware of any status change or associated development affecting the canal. Vice Chair Doctor Stewart requested the presentation materials by email and asked whether staff could include typical unit square-footages for housing projects; staff said they would share the larger presentation package posted on the city website and could provide unit-size information for specific projects on request. Chair Arejo and other commissioners asked about parking in the Wagon Wheel area; staff clarified that much of the parking behind Wagon Wheel Brewery and the nearby parking structure is open to the public, while residential parking areas are reserved for residents.

On timelines, Pearson told the commission that most development approvals carry an initial three-year time frame to begin construction, with an administrative one-year extension available and additional time often granted through state actions or COVID-era extensions. He said the city has used the code’s 36-month start window plus administrative extensions and recent state legislation (an additional 18 months for some residential projects) to allow developments more time to begin construction.

Commissioner Nash praised the city’s progress on housing, saying the presentation showed strong delivery of housing and affordable units within Oxnard’s urban boundary and thanked staff and the City Council for advancing projects tied to the 2030 General Plan. Commissioners asked to receive the slide packet and additional project-specific details by email.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Planning Commission Meeting - 9/4/2025","oneSentenceSummary","City planning staff presented an itemized update on active residential, mixed-use, commercial and industrial projects — including several large affordable-housing developments and logistics warehouses — and answered commissioners' questions about timelines, parking and the Edison Canal.","taxTitle","Oxnard City, Ventura County, California","taxId",3809,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6468645,"Oxnard planning commissioners approve alcohol special-use permit for Magna Vino Cellars expansion",704,226000,930000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5781869-ea25c7ace56cf59b13d4a4809502db02&start=226&end=930","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5781869-ea25c7ace56cf59b13d4a4809502db02/thumbnail_226000.jpg","/articles/6468645/Oxnard-City/Ventura-County/California/Oxnard-planning-commissioners-approve-alcohol-special-use-permit-for-Magna-Vino-Cellars-expansion","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6468645-1fd54a7b74857d9e54832bff4422b848/orig.mp4?Expires=1771160282&Signature=CyEomA4ta5yRSLw522loJHMGGEovDUSbcBbDY2HfkeLE0Za960GDbdY6ZcNGG4nah7lANQeCgqgxGllFlWoVMbdWgsBSGkIpIUbXtNp0~wfLlA5rBfpmY9H7x5qmvH4i0j5ucM4gJ1fvKrk-P2274nnxiht3R1G0XitRU76ZhO1P8B8OdgxIIvpf0fli6wuOZ2UbrADo~APWTDL8n75uZqLd1Qt-UPLNv9hz1ueUvh4eC2gKnE1qTyTm9sN51i-OjC7gjncsysI44WlawbTvyMZJ98tM9qthHaQrdbGdsyi3Hhe3N258z8QwGF4edVk392Mw4jfv4a3rXC8CjQvAAg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Oxnard City Planning Commission voted unanimously Thursday to approve a planning and zoning permit (25-510-01) that modifies an existing special-use permit for Magna Vino Cellars to add brewery operations and two new Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) license types.

Staff presented the item as an amendment to the existing permit (09510-06) for the site at 961 North Rice Avenue and recommended approval. John Dalby, associate planner, told the commission the project “meets the standards set forth by the city,” noting site parking was adequate and that the added ABC licenses would expand business on the site.

The applicant, David Rice, described the expansion as an addition to the long-established winery. “Public Realm Brewing Company…where connections are made and kept through craft beer,” Rice said, adding the owners plan to host music, local events and family-friendly community activities and to partner with local nonprofits.

Why it matters: Commissioners said the record shows few public-safety or parking concerns and local businesses contacted by staff did not object. Commissioner Nash read findings from the staff report and legal reference material into the record, saying, “there is not an undue concentration under the provisions of California Business and Professions Code section 23958.4.” That assessment and the lack of public opposition in the record were central to the commission’s vote.

During deliberations, commissioners noted two written comment letters in support from employees of Magna Vino Cellars and asked staff about police conditions that had been removed from the staff report; staff clarified those lines were omitted from the report and no changes to recommended conditions of approval were necessary. Vice Chair Doctor Seward and Commissioner Nash moved and seconded the recommended action.

The motion, as stated on the record, was to “find the project to be categorically exempt from environmental review 25, double X, approving planning and zoning permit number 25-510-01 for an alcohol special use permit subject to certain findings and conditions.” The commission recorded aye votes from Vice Chair Doctor (Stewart/Seward), Commissioner Nash, Commissioner Lopez and Chair Arejo; the motion passed.

No members of the public spoke during the hearing; staff said two supportive comment letters had been received earlier in the day. The approval allows the property owner (listed in the staff report as Mallard Properties Company) and the applicant to add a brewery/taproom and two ABC license types to the existing winery, subject to the standard findings and the conditions listed in the staff report.

The commission’s action was limited to the alcohol special-use permit and the environmental finding stated on the record; the commission did not take separate actions on building permits or other approvals that would be required for construction or operations. Staff noted the Measure M–related presentation for the item had been prerecorded and posted per city practice.","The Planning Commission voted unanimously to approve a special-use permit to modify an existing winery at 961 N. Rice Ave. to add brewery operations and two Alcoholic Beverage Control license types, after staff found parking and public-safety conditions met and the record included supportive comment letters.","actionData","errors"]
