Westside
Westside & North Avenue Community Plan and Code
The Westside revitalization process began in 1998 with Ventura Vision and was carried through by City staff and the Comp Plan Advisory Committee from 2001-August 2004. Concurrently, the Westside community devised Shaping our Community's Future: Revitalizing the Westside in 2002. The momentum continued with City Council's adoption of the Economic Development Strategy in 2005, which highlighted the Westside as focus area number three and the Upper North Avenue as focus area number four.
In August 2005, Ventura adopted its new General Plan. This plan will serve as a citywide blueprint for growth and development for the next twenty years. The westside and North Avenue Communities are areas where the city has identified the need for a new community plan and development code. As a valued member of the community, you're encouraged to attend upcoming "Avenue to the Future" community meetings. Your involvement and feedback will help to ensure that Ventura's Westside continues to be a great place to live, work and play!
