A special meeting of the City Council to be held at the Performing Arts & Convention Center (800 Hobson Way) on Monday March 25 beginning at 6 PM.
Since March 2016, the City has been actively engaging the public, the Planning Commission, and most recently the Housing and Economic Development Committee in order to devise a framework for an STR Ordinance. This engagement began with a survey of Oxnard residents, a community workshop (Aug. 2016), a Planning Commission Study Session (Nov. 2016), and a public hearing before the Planning Commission (June 2017). These activities are summarized in the Staff Report for the June 1, 2017 hearing (see Attachment C). Additionally, staff researched other jurisdictions ordinances in an effort to develop some best practice regulations. The results of this research are included in Attachment D.
