Planning director: board upheld violation for 85 Crestview Avenue; commission calendar set for coastal program and ADU guidebook

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.
