Ventura General Plan Update
Ventura, CA




Description
Raimi + Associates is leading a team of consultants to comprehensively update the City of San Buenaventura's General Plan, Climate Action Plan, and Local Coastal Program. As the administrative center of Ventura County, the City San Buenaventura ("Ventura") is home to quaint single-family neighborhoods, regional employment and educational hubs, and historic landmarks like the San Buenaventura Mission. In recent years, the coastal community has been beset by many issues impacting its quality of life, such as housing affordability, homelessness, traffic congestion, wildfire risk, and sea level rise. Because its current General Plan was last updated in 2005, the City is interested in reinventing it as a forward-looking document that tackles these issues head-on with the support of residents not traditionally involved in community planning processes.
