Are ADUs allowed in Mandalay Bay - Channel Islands Waterfront Homes? NO [read more]
Within the City of Oxnard, Accessory Dwelling Units are not currently allowed in the Coastal Zone.
- The CCC staff encouraged us, and other coastal cities, to allow ADUs within the Coastal Zone. CCC staff suggested that we look at Santa Cruz’s ADU Coastal regulations which provide ADU restrictions / reasons for denial based on lack of parking.
- As part of the Housing Element, City staff did not propose and City Council did not provide direction to amend our LCP to allow ADUs in the Coastal Zone.
- For any additional questions regarding ADUs, please contact Planning Manager, Scott Kolwitz, at 805-385-3919.
