Thousand Oaks Conejo Development Code regulates single-family home bulk through floor-area ratio, lot coverage, height, and setback rules. Hillside overlays, view-protection standards, and oak tree protections further constrain mansionization in established neighborhoods.
The Conejo Development Code (CDC), part of the Thousand Oaks Municipal Code, sets floor-area ratio caps, lot-coverage limits, building height, and stepped-back upper-story requirements that limit mansionization on single-family lots. Hillside overlays and slope-density standards apply to Conejo Valley hillsides, and the city's Oak Tree Protection Ordinance (TOMC §5-15) and view-protection standards further constrain bulk. Larger projects often need design review and may trigger neighborhood notification, particularly in older neighborhoods such as Wildwood or near scenic view corridors.
Exceeding FAR, height, or coverage limits leads to redesign requirements, denial of permit, stop-work orders, and possible removal of nonconforming construction.
