Unincorporated Ventura County areas within the California Coastal Zone require Coastal Development Permits under the California Coastal Act. The county administers a Local Coastal Program covering coastal communities including portions of the Rincon, Pierpont, and Solimar areas.
The California Coastal Act requires Coastal Development Permits (CDPs) for most development within the Coastal Zone. Ventura County's Local Coastal Program (LCP) includes a coastal zoning ordinance with specific zones (C-R-1, C-R-2, C-R-P-D, C-R-E). Public access to the coast must be maintained. Environmentally sensitive habitat areas receive heightened protection. Appeals of local CDP decisions go to the California Coastal Commission. Contact Planning at (805) 654-2488 for coastal zone verification.
Development without a CDP violates the Coastal Act. The Coastal Commission can issue cease-and-desist and restoration orders. Administrative penalties up to $11,250/day per violation. Violators may be required to restore sites at their own expense.
