The Conejo Development Code (TOMC Title 9) governs zoning across Thousand Oaks with several specific plans tailoring rules for areas like the Civic Arts Plaza, Thousand Oaks Boulevard, and Newbury Park.
The Conejo Development Code adopted as Title 9 consolidates zoning, subdivision, and design rules with chapters on residential, commercial, mixed-use, and open-space districts. Specific Plans overlay base zoning in targeted geographies including the Thousand Oaks Boulevard Specific Plan promoting walkable mixed-use, the Civic Arts Plaza area, and Newbury Park corridors. COSCA open space and hillside protection overlays add environmental controls. Specific plans modify height, setback, parking, and use lists from base zones. Project applications must demonstrate consistency with both base zoning and any applicable specific plan.
Use or construction inconsistent with the CDC or applicable specific plan triggers stop-work orders, permit revocation, and abatement actions through Community Development.
