Background
In October 2017, the California Coastal Commission (CCC) told Ventura County and the developer, Channel Islands Harbor Properties, LLC (CIHP), that a Local Coastal Plan Amendment (LCPA) from the City of Oxnard was required before the CCC would consider their request for an amendment to the harbor’s Public Works Plan (PWP).
In March of 2019, the City agreed to start its public review process of the County’s LCPA. During this review process, the City will decide if they will approve or deny the County and developer’s request for an LCPA.
If the City would have approved the County’s LCPA, the City would no longer have any jurisdictional say about what the project should be or put any conditions on it. The County and developer would have then proceeded to obtain approval for a PWPA from the Coastal Commission to build the 400-apartment complex at Fisherman’s Wharf.
We are pleased that the City staff, City Planning Commission and City Council all voted to DENY the Amendment.
