City Council - 5/19/2026 - Agenda Item M1 - Avalon Homes Planning and Zoning Permit

The City of Oxnard City Council held a meeting on May 19, 2026, to consider the Avalon Homes Planning and Zoning Permit, which involves a residential development project and preserved open space. The project proposes subdividing vacant land into 10 lots, including 56 detached single-family homes on a private street, along with a privately maintained open space with public walking paths and parking. The project underwent extensive environmental review under CEQA, including a recirculated Environmental Impact Report (EIR) addressing updated guidelines and vehicle miles traveled impacts. The Planning Commission approved the project with a modification requiring six affordable housing units on-site instead of an in-lieu fee, a decision the City Council was set to consider for final approval. The Council was also to adopt resolutions certifying the EIR, approving the tentative subdivision map, and upholding the Planning Commission's coastal development permit with modified conditions. No specific contract awards or procurement actions were discussed, but the project involves future homeowners association management and private maintenance arrangements.
