The City of Oxnard is planning a huge residential and commercial development project on land currently used for agriculture, at Ventura Rd. to Teal Club Rd to Patterson Rd, to Doris Ave. It will be 990 residential units, with single(220) and multi-family(770) units, and some commercial and light industrial use areas, if approved as planned.
Some of the concerns that have already been shared are:
Permanent loss of prime agricultural land
Traffic and safety
Air and noise pollution
Water supply, solid and wastewater increases
Increased crime and trash
Esthetic changes to views, and “small town” character of Oxnard
to name a few.
Since this proposed development is adjacent to the Cabrillo neighborhood, and will impact our quality of life, not only in Cabrillo, but Oxnard as a whole, I urge everyone to get informed, and share comments and concerns.
Here is a link to more information:

There is an opportunity for public comment on the project from 12/17/21 to 02/1`5/22 (before 5:00p.m.) Time is short, so do not delay. Send comments to:
