Summary

Planning Director Ward reported the Board denied an appeal in a de novo hearing (5–0) regarding a commercial event venue violation at 85 Crestview Avenue and previewed upcoming commission items on Aug. 20 (Local Coastal Program and ADU guidebook) and Sept. 17 (NCZO reform work plan).

Planning Director Ward told the commission that the Board of Supervisors recently held a de novo hearing on an appeal tied to a code enforcement action at 85 Crestview Avenue in unincorporated Ventura County and declined to overturn the violation.

"The decision on this was a 5 0 to, not grant the appeal, hold to the violation," Ward said, noting the matter will proceed with the county’s code enforcement division.

Ward also reviewed upcoming calendar items for the commission: Aug. 20 will include a follow-up Local Coastal Program item addressing property-rights-related policy language (affecting Districts 1 and 5) and a receiving-file presentation on an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) tools and resources guidebook; Sept. 17 is scheduled for presentation of a reform work plan on amendments to the Non-Coastal Zoning Ordinance per board direction.

Ward closed by saying there were no items set for Sept. 3 at this time.
