Phase II Amendments to the Non-Coastal Zoning Ordinance (Ordinance No. 4650)

Ventura County is amending Articles 1 through 15, 17, and 19 of its Non-Coastal Zoning Ordinance through Ordinance No. 4650 to implement clerical, clarifying, and minor regulatory updates across all unincorporated non-coastal areas of the county. The amendments aim to improve the consistency, clarity, and enforceability of existing zoning regulations without introducing new land-use policies or substantive changes. The project is administratively managed by the Ventura County Planning Division under the Resource Management Agency, with Franca A. Rosengren serving as the primary point of contact. The initiative is being processed under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), specifically exempted under Guidelines Sections 15061(b)(3) and 15303(e) due to the minimal environmental impact of the changes. Supporting documentation includes a USGS map and the full text of Ordinance No. 4650, which are attached to the Notice of Exemption filed with the county. All project-related submissions are handled through the Ventura County Clerk-Recorder’s Office at 800 S. Victoria Ave., Ventura, CA 93009, with no electronic invoicing or federal procurement systems involved. Payment for environmental filing fees is made directly to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife via check, cash, or credit, and there are no formal contract line items, pricing structures, or external contractors engaged. The effort is entirely internal to county government operations, requiring no performance metrics, inspection criteria, packaging standards, or contract administration procedures as defined under federal acquisition regulations. There is no solicitation number assigned, no contract type defined, and no representations or certifications from external offerors, as no procurement process is taking place. Approval of the ordinance was completed on September 16, 2025, with public notice posted on September 25, 2025, and all actions tied to administrative compliance rather than competitive procurement.
