About the General Plan

The General Plan is the embodiment of the community’s vision for the future of Ventura.  It is the City’s comprehensive framework of guiding policies on land use, housing, roads, recreation, historical and natural resources, balance of adequate water supply infrastructure, public safety services, and noise, and serves as a basis for decisions that affect all aspects of our everyday lives from where we live and work to how we move about.  It is implemented by decisions that direct the allocation of public resources and that shape private development.
