Vergel Coastal Planned Development Permit Case No. PL24-0085

The Vergel Coastal Planned Development Permit Case No. PL24-0085 involves the construction of a new three-story single-family dwelling on an undeveloped lot located on Santa Paula Avenue in the community of La Conchita, Ventura County. The residence is designed with a total area of approximately 3,097 square feet, featuring a first floor with living space, a garage, carport, and covered porch; a second floor with living space and a deck; and a third floor consisting of a loft and balcony. Potable water will be supplied by the Casitas Municipal Water District, while wastewater will be managed via an onsite wastewater treatment system with advanced treatment. To mitigate debris flow risks, the design includes raising the pad elevation for the dwelling and garage by two feet and installing an engineered impact wall at least two feet high on the northeast slope. The project is overseen by the County of Ventura Resource Management Agency Planning Division, with Aubrie Richardson serving as the Case Planner. It has been granted a categorical exemption from further environmental review under CEQA Guidelines Section 15303 Class 3 for new construction. Project approval was recorded on September 10, 2025, and a Notice of Exemption was filed on September 24, 2025. Administrative filing fees were handled by SPH Design Architecture Inc. Access to the site will be provided via a proposed driveway adjacent to Santa Paula Avenue.
