"We approved three projects, which provide a variety of housing types. They provide amenities to their own residents, as well as to the general public. The proposed projects would help pay for completing portions of the citywide bike trail and parks system. The developments would also offer entry-level housing in a new apartment complex and move-up opportunities for home buyers."
"The process for doling out the city's Residential Growth Management Program allocations involved the community more this year than in the past. Public workshops were held, and developers were encouraged to involve residents of communities near the proposed projects. Consequently, [developers] had a lot more community support than we normally see in this process."
"The Ashkar/Weston project, planned for the northeast corner of Telephone Road and Saratoga Avenue, includes 100 one- and two-bedroom apartments. A bicycle path and greenbelt area encompassing the eucalyptus trees along Saratoga Avenue would also be created."
The Ventura Planning Commission unanimously approved three housing developments for east Ventura, distributing 245 annual housing permits among them. The projects include a 100-unit apartment complex with one- and two-bedroom units, plus 76 upscale homes and 69 high-end homes in two separate single-family developments. These projects provide diverse housing types and amenities while supporting completion of the citywide bike trail and parks system. The allocation process involved increased community engagement through public workshops and developer coordination with nearby residents, resulting in greater community support than previous years. The developments offer entry-level housing options and move-up opportunities for homebuyers.
