Building height limits in unincorporated Ventura County are set by zoning district under §8106-1. Height is measured per §8106-1.3. Accessory structures are limited to heights specified in §8106-7.4. Exceptions exist for roof structures, antennas, and wireless facilities.
Height limits vary by zone under §8106-1.1 (residential) and §8106-1.2 (commercial/industrial). Height on flat grades is measured per §8106-1.3.1 and on sloping grades per §8106-1.3.2. Exceptions in §8106-7 cover non-commercial antennas (§8106-7.1), roof structures (§8106-7.2), airport height limits (§8106-7.3), accessory structures (§8106-7.4), wireless communication facilities (§8106-7.5), and retaining walls (§8106-7.6). Height variances require application to the Planning Commission.
Exceeding height limits without a variance is a zoning violation. Building permits will be denied for non-compliant plans. Structures exceeding limits may face demolition orders.
