City of Ventura Community Development Department Transparency and openness are key principles of City of Ventura Community Development Department.

We will post meeting information, provide information on new and pending projects and other key initiatives of our department. The Community Development Department (CD) is responsible for planning and zoning, economic development, housing and redevelopment for the City of Ventura. Our department works to ensure that new construction and additions to existing structures meet the policies and guidelines that have been established for public safety, zoning and development. CD also works with various city commissions that help guide and advise the City Council regarding growth in the city.
