Avalon Homes Subdivision

The Avalon Homes Subdivision project in Oxnard, California, involves the development of a 38.33-acre site divided into residential and conservation components. The residential portion consists of 8.75 acres where a maximum of 65 dwelling units will be constructed across 17 lots, including 35 clustered condominium units and a mix of single-family or duplex residences. The remaining 29.6 acres in the northern area are designated as open space for resource protection to preserve sensitive habitats, specifically the Northern Dunes Area, and will remain undeveloped except for minimal public access improvements. The project also includes five open space lots for drainage mitigation, a gated entry, and a private community recreation area. Managed by the City of Oxnard, the project has undergone extensive environmental review under CEQA, including a Recirculated Draft and Final Environmental Impact Report. Key environmental focus areas include transportation impacts, air quality, and the protection of biological resources such as mock heather scrub. Compliance requires a coastal development permit and adherence to a restoration plan for the Northern Dunes Area, with revegetation starting within one year of construction and monitoring continuing for five years. Project oversight includes site inspections for dust control and equipment standards, the potential requirement of performance bonds for improvements, and strict adherence to CalOSHA and OSHA standards for lead-based paint abatement by certified personnel.
