Condition Compliance ProgramThe Planning Division's Condition Compliance Program seeks to maintain compliance with conditions approved with land use permits operating in the unincorporated areas of Ventura County. Condition Compliance Officers enforce the rules and regulations outlined in the County Zoning Ordinances as well as the conditions approved with issued permits. It is the intent of the Condition Compliance Program to work with the residents, tenants, and the businesses of Ventura County to promote and maintain a safe and desirable living and working environment through compliance with approved conditions of approval. Condition Compliance Officers respond to written complaints and do not proactively look for violations. However, per Sec. 8114-3.5 of the County’s Non-Coastal Zoning Ordinance, all permits issued by the County of Ventura are subject to review no less than every three years, unless the terms of the permit require more frequent site inspections. Thus, standard policy is to conduct a comprehensive condition compliance review of existing permits on a rotating basis, as staff time allows. What are "Conditions of Approval"?Conditions of Approval are adopted at the time a project goes through a use permit or subdivision process. These conditions may be such things as operational requirements, or requirements for landscaping plans, parking, or road improvements that must be completed before the project may be issued a building permit or given its final inspection. Operational conditions continue to apply to the use as long as it exists, unless written specifically to expire. For example, a condition that limits the business hours of a use would be considered an operational condition.
