Environmental Documents

The basic purposes of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), as established by the California Code of Regulations (CEQA Guidelines, Section 15002), are to:

Inform decision-makers and the public about potential, significant environmental effects of a proposed project.
Identify the ways that environmental damage can be avoided or significantly reduced. # Prevent significant, avoidable damage to the environment by requiring changes in project through the use or alternatives or mitigation measures.

Disclosure of information

For projects that are not exempt from the environmental review process, CEQA requires the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for a project which may have a significant environmental effect (CEQA Guidelines, Section 15064(a)(1)), or of a Negative Declaration (ND) or Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) if no significant environmental effects will occur (CEQA Guidelines, Section 15070).

The environmental documents listed below have been prepared and are available for public review.

The public review period ends at 5:00 p.m. on the last day of the Review Period.

All comments should be provided in writing to the Staff Planner, and received by the planner before the end of the public review period. Written comments can be mailed or faxed (805) 385-7417 to the Planning Division, 305 214 S. C Street, Oxnard, CA 93030. Postings may be removed once the review period has been expired.
