Maximum lot coverage in unincorporated Ventura County varies by zone and area plan under §8106-1.4. Area plans for communities like El Rio, Lake Sherwood, Oak Park, Ojai Valley, Piru, and Thousand Oaks establish specific coverage limits and exceptions.
Section 8106-1.4 establishes lot coverage standards. Maximum coverage varies by zone and whether the lot is subject to an area plan. Area plan-specific standards exist for El Rio/Del Norte (§8106-1.4.1.1.1), Lake Sherwood/Hidden Valley (§8106-1.4.1.1.2), North Ventura Avenue (§8106-1.4.1.1.3), Oak Park (§8106-1.4.1.1.4), Ojai Valley (§8106-1.4.1.1.5), Piru (§8106-1.4.1.1.6), Thousand Oaks (§8106-1.4.1.1.7), and Saticoy (§8106-1.4.1.1.8). Lots within existing community boundaries follow §8106-1.4.1.2. ADUs are exempt from lot coverage maximums under state law.
Exceeding lot coverage without a variance is a zoning violation. Building permits will be denied for non-compliant plans. Contact Planning at (805) 654-2488 for your lot's specific coverage limit.
