The Community Development Department (CD) is responsible for planning and zoning, economic development, housing and redevelopment for the City of Ventura. Our department works to ensure that new construction and additions to existing structures meet the policies and guidelines that have been established for public safety, zoning and development. CD also works with various city commissions that help guide and advise the City Council regarding growth in the city.

Many projects that come before the city for review are presented to one or more commissions or committees for recommendations to the City Council. The department is also involved with special events, regional planning, and open space.

Ventura Summer Concert Series

Plans are underway to manage the potential impacts of this exciting series and take advantage of the potential economic boost to Ventura’s downtown. Concert promoters are proposing to host up to twelve concerts at the Ventura City Hall Upper Parking Lot beginning in July with the last show in October 2012; attendance to the event is estimated to be up to 1,900 per concert. 

PowerPoint presented at the April 30, 2012 meeting.
