HERE was a good-sized crowd on hand, April 19, following Covid-19 protocols, being safe, and getting their shopping done.

David Mohr from You Bite Camarillo German Gourmet Sausages made the trip

down to the Channel Islands Farmers’ Market and noted differences from the Camarillo Certified Farmers’ Market.

“In Camarillo, we basically have our hometown market, and we know all the people, so it creates a feeling of com­ munity,” he said.

S all of you already know, I’m a little different than most people. I’m a bizarre mix of an obsessed workaholic and SOB that sat around and watched too many so-called journalists dance around the tough questions that put people on their heels. Those journalists, to me, suck.

Too often, people will see a story and say you can’t put that in the paper. I put it in any way because that’s the way I am. The public has the right to know the truth.

With that said, lets’ talk about the big stop the hate protest a couple of weeks ago that I covered, but the truth is that I was a target of a bunch of hate because I dared to cover Republicans and Democrats equally during the political season. Stop the hate but stop all the hate.

Fairness and equality are my job, and it has nothing to do with whether I am Republican or Democrat. The truth is that some of the people calling for no more hate

NEWS Yellow tier could happen soon in Ventura County

By Chris Frost Ventura-- In his report to the Ventura County Board of Supervisors, April 20, CEO Mike Powers thanked the community for the great work they’re doing through the pandemic.

“

VENTURA County is heading in a strong direction,” he said. “We’ve administered over 582,000 vaccine doses, first and second dose, which is over 53 percent of the eligible population in our county that has received at least one dose. Over 85 percent of seniors 65 and over have been vaccinated.”

Powers said Covid-19 testing is a crucial element to fight the pandemic.

“The community continues to get tested at a high rate, over 4,000 a day, which is remarkable, as we’re transitioning to the testing pods,”

he said.

Vaccine task force leader Barry Zimmerman said Ventura County has done a tremendous number of vaccines to date.

“This week, we’ll probably be over 600,000 vaccines total, administered as we work through our appointment first and second dose strategy,” he said. “We’re at first dose, and it’s at 53 percent of the total adult population, which is an excellent rate. We have advocated and fought hard for vaccines, and we’re keeping up at a good pace. Overall, the state is around at 52 percent, so we’re trending slightly about that pace right now.”

The county has experienced a slowdown in the rate of appointments getting filled.

“We release the bulk of the new appointments, Monday morning around 11:30 a.m.,’ Zimmerman said. “In the past, they would be completely filled within the hour.

This week, it took about four

hours to fill them up. This is not an unusual trend. This is happening across the state.”

He does not see any growth in vaccines allocated to the health

department.

“Growth in the county as a whole will be through a thirdparty administrator,” he said.

“Those vaccines will be distributed through other networks, such as pharmacies and other medical clinics that have been established that have not received the vaccine will receive it as well.”

He reminded the public that everyone age 16 and older can be vaccinated.

“The 16 and 17-year-olds are only eligible to get the Pfizer vaccine,” he said. “If someone comes and makes an appointment, they need to be assured that it is a Pfizer clinic where they can receive it. This past weekend, I visited clinics, and quite a number of our youth have made appointments and are receiving the vaccines.”

Public Health Director Rigo Vargas said the county should reach the yellow tier within the next two weeks.

The 7-day average case rate is

2.6, and it is a modest improvement from last week’s 2.8.

“It’s so good that at the beginning of January, it was 82,” he said. “To go from 82 to almost two is astounding. It’s a testament to all Ventura County businesses, residents, and everyone working together to bring down our adjusted case rate. We’re short for meeting the first week metrics for the yellow tier, but we’re right around the corner. It needs to be less than 2.”

The 7-day positivity rate is 1.2, which showed a minor improvement over last week.

“There is still person-toperson transmission in our county, but the rate of positive tests is decreasing,” he said. “We’re especially proud of Ventura County residents, especially our hardest-hit community, the Oxnard community, the 93033 zip code, and 93030. The Santa Clara community has been hit hard.”

DINING

Lemon Chile n e k c i h C t Roas

Last week we grilled a quick and easy Lemon Hoisin Chicken. This week we are talking about the whole bird and a more intricate recipe.

T

HIS recipe really hit the spot for me. I was going for a smokey, slightly sweet, and citrusy whole roasted chicken. So I picked out a couple of my favorite dried chilis from the pantry and grabbed a couple lemons from the tree in the backyard and got to work.

This isn’t actually all that hard to pull off. You grind some chilis (blender works magic), marinate the chicken for a while, and then roast for a while. Well, that is an oversimplification, but not by much! Let’s get into it.

Ingredients • 1 whole roasting chicken • 1 dried chile negro • 2 dried chile morita • 2 lemons, 1 whole and 1 juiced

• 1 tablespoon salt • 1 tablespoon olive oil To Cook

Grind the chile negro and chile morita in a blender. Pat your chicken dry with a paper

towel. Place chicken in a big enough container to fit the whole chicken and be able to put it in your refrigerator. I used a stock pot. Squeeze 1 lemon and pour lemon juice all over the outside and inside of the chicken. Salt the entire chicken inside and out. Coat the chicken in the ground chili blend inside

and out. Refrigerate chicken for 6- 24 hours. Pull chicken out of refrigerator ½ hour before roasting.

Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken and stuff the cavity with a whole lemon and the rinds of the squeezed lemon. Preheat oven to 425⁰.

NOTE: cooking times will vary depending on the oven.

For reference, this was a 6 lb bird. I cooked it at 425⁰ for 45 minutes and 350⁰ for an addition 1.5 hours uncovered and on top of vegetables (onion, potato, sweet potato and beets with sprigs of rosemary). A good rule of thumb is to go higher temp for about 1/3 of the overall cook time. Lower heat for about 2/3 of the cook time. Pull out of the oven and cover with foil. Rest for 20 minutes and EAT! If you liked this recipe please be sure to follow me on Instagram @connor.cooks.

age 16 and above, to register and get your vaccination, please.”

Sites available in Oxnard include the Rose Avenue

Clinic, 2340 North Rose Avenue, and there is also a site at the South Oxnard Public Health Office, 2500 South C Street at Centerpoint

Mall.

“It’s the same thing, schedule an appointment at myturm.ca.gov, or call 833422-4255. The county public

health department is also doing popup vaccines, small sites around the county, including here in Oxnard.

You can schedule at our website, but as you can see, yesterday (April 19), they had a site at Durley Park, and tomorrow, there is a site in the City of Filmore, and Friday, in Santa Paula. On Saturday, they’re back here in Oxnard at the Mission Produce building, 2901 Camino Del Sol. It’s best if you register, but they’re setting up these mobile sites to make it more convenient for people to get their vaccinations.”

The Southwinds Youth Center vaccination site is still available, but it requires an appointment.

The rent program is still active, Nguyen said, which

applies to landlords and tenants.

“You can get help there,” he said. “That phone number is 833-430-2122.

The information is also available on the city’s main page, www.oxnard.org.

Service is available in English and Spanish, as well.”

FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) offers assistance for funeral services incurred if the death is caused by Covid-19.

“You can apply at FEMA,” he said. “Their phone number is 844-684-6333. Their hours are 9 a.m. until 9 p.m. eastern standard time Monday through Friday. You can call FEMA to get information.”

Street sweeping enforcement will resume on

June 1.

“We are spending the rest of April and May notifying our residents,” he said. “I know it has been a long time, but now that our unemployment rate is starting to lower and people are finally going back to work, and young people are going back to school, we should be able to sweep our streets again, which is mandated by the state to keep our storm sewers clean.”

Nguyen reminded people that the pandemic is not over, and residents should continue wearing their face covering, practicing social distancing, and wash their hands as often as possible.

“The governor expects to open the entire economy in mid-June,” he said.

NEWS Supervisors discuss ARP money

By Chris Frost Ventura-- As the American Recovery Plan comes online and is set to roll out, the Ventura County Board of Supervisors has begun its process of where the money will go to help the government and people.

G

OVERNMENTS have experienced fiscal shortfalls throughout Covid-19, and as the money comes in, the Supervisors will be tasked with doing the most good it can for their constituents.

Scott Powers from the executive office presented the plan to the supervisors, and he said there’s an important difference in how the money gets dispersed.

“The CARES Act, which was approved about a year ago, in addition to the American Recovery Plan, both direct fund transfers with guidance,” he said. “The funds are provided, and guidance follows it. We apply those funds, and we are subject to a single audit on those funds.”

The difference, he said, is the FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) portion which is a reimbursement program; the county fronts the funds for these costs that are for FEMA eligible and applicable costs.

“FEMA is slower than they’ve ever been and understandably so with what they’re dealing with from a nationwide perspective,”

he said. “We have many applications come in, totaling about $78 million to date.”

With the recently passed American Recovery Plan, Powers said a significant allocation of money, $164 million, was placed in the Local Recovery Fund.

“Our city partners are expecting to receive over $142 million, so we’re looking at over $300 million in local assistance,” he said. “These funds will be used in different ways. The key portion is the revenue loss, and for the county, we expect it to be significant. The county is primarily funded through property tax and charge for services. The cities have taken a large hit in terms of sales tax, and we expect them to get a lot of that money through lost revenue and into their general fund and apply as necessary to their community.”

There is $15 million designated for community health centers, homeless assistance will get $4.5 million, and the Older Americans Act will get $900,000.

“There’s a lot more to be determined in terms of what funds are coming our way,” he said. “Some are coming from the state, some come direct, and there is an infrastructure portion we are curious about.”

About half of the money should arrive at the county within 30 days.

“The remaining money is within one year after the first installment,” he said. “We’re looking at 2022. The deadline is 3.5

years to spend these funds.”

Powers said in many respects the guidance is the most important part.

“We’re anticipating that anytime in May,” he said. “We’ve heard word that it may be earlier than that, but we’re excited to see that information, create some good strategies, apply them, and come back to your board for those recommendations.”

Powers said they want to focus on things the Board of Supervisors feel are appropriate, including mental health, homelessness, and equity.

“I also want to include the notion of avoiding these long-term commitments, past 3.5 years, without a financially sustainable funding opportunity for these programs,” he said.

Powers said they want to replenish some reserves and lost revenue that’s not in the general fund.

“We do know of some non-general fund departments that have been hit, most namely the parks department and other ones in the county,” he said. “Infrastructure is a key part of this legislation that we’ve seen. We’re curious to see how that reads and what opportunities we have there.”

Supervisor Kelly Long said she liked the CARES Act funding pools and where they’re coming from.

“My focus is agreeing to push this funding to our community and businesses as best as we possibly can about waiving business fees, and we’ve had some meetings about that,” she said. “I’m excited to see what Mr. Mike Powers is coming back with during that presentation.”

Long is concerned with the Great Plates Program and said they’ve all gone through and delivered warm meals to seniors.

“Are we going to continue it for a certain amount of time, even if the feds don’t fund us as much,” she said. “I’m trying to understand the needs of our seniors based on this pandemic and how do we assist that program as best as we can? I know funding is an important aspect, but so are the needs of our seniors. How does that progress once the Great Plates Program goes away?”

She also worried about unemployment.

“With restaurants trying to get employees, I’m hearing that the unemployment checks coming in are nice,” she said. “However, people aren’t wanting to go back to work. How do we assist our businesses with employees getting EDD?” She also asked about evictions.

“We’ve had all this eviction assistance and mortgage assistance,” she said. “Those people are going to have to pay that money back, and then what happens? Are they going to become homeless? At the Administration of Justice Committee that I’m on, we talked with justices about how do we connect people to housing, so they don’t become homeless, and they go down that spiraling hole.”

Powers reminded the board that FEMA funds are 100 percent recoverable for the county.

“At the same time, they’re still paid by the taxpayers,” he said.

“We’re expecting it (the Great Plates Program) to terminate in September. Every month, we extend it four days before it expires for 30 days. I’ve been working with Victoria Jump with the Area Agency on Agency to start winding it down. It’s not an abrupt end for the individuals.”

There more to come, he said, and Great Plates has been “wildly successful.”

“To date, the program has brought in almost 50 restaurants, including the central kitchen in the original Great Plates Program,” he said.

decompress for a while and be in the moment. It’s hard to do that sometimes.”

When the duo goes out on walks, Sebastian can sometimes get distracted if he meets another dog.

“I’m really good at redirecting him with his squeaker ball or treats,” Josefina said. “It’s easy to steer away.”

When asked why Josefina didn’t pursue another career path, she said it didn’t sound like any fun.

“I like interacting with the pet parents, the dogs, and getting to know their personalities,” she said. “It’s a lot of fun to interact with everyone. We’re starting to lose that.”

She hasn’t had a lot of business problems because of Covid-19.

“It has been pretty steady,” she said. “My customers have been

wonderful in supporting me. I’m hanging in there and trying to stay positive through it all.”

She speaks highly of the Channel Islands Farmers’ Market.

“It’s great,” she said. “I started in February, and things have been going great.”

Gary Blum was on hand with his Heritage Succulents of Oxnard at the market, and he was a busy guy answering questions about the plants, giving good advice, and selling people treasures for their home and garden.

“I grow succulents in my backyard, as well as Airplants, and I’m here every Sunday at the Channel Islands Farmers’ Market,” he said. “It’s a passion

gone wild. I have about a quarter acre, so there is plenty of room to grow stuff wherever I want.”

He said he focuses on plants that are easy to grow.

“That’s why I like to grow them because they are difficult to kill,” he said. “The most popular ones I sell are the Echeveria. They’re the ones that people usually ask for.”

The key, he said, is making sure the succulent gets the right amount of water.

“Everyone either overwaters or underwaters,” Blum said. “I tell people to water deeply and infrequently. They want a ton of water, then no water for a long time. “I tell people once a week, and if they forget, it’s not going to die.”

You have a lot more tourists at this market and more foot traffic, but you don’t have as many regulars.”

David said people buy different items at the Channel Islands Farmers’ Market.

“People buy a lot more fully cooked and ready to eat items and take stuff as a snack,” he said.

“It tends to be a little bit more on the spicy side here. They like the ocean air with the spice, so I don’t know.”

He usually arrives at the market at 7:30 a.m., but his day starts at 4:30 a.m. when he gets up.

“I go to the company and pack all the boxes for all the markets we do,” he said. “We have three on Sunday. I work here until 2 p.m., and then I go back.”

Josefina Cantu from JC Dog Accessories had a huge collection of dog items and actively engaged customers as they walked by.

“You have to have fun with it,” she said. “I love dogs, and I volunteer at my local animal shelter. I had dogs growing up, and it was hard for me to find fun accessories that show who you are. I jumped with it and took advantage of this.”

Everything on sale is Josefina’s design.

“My t-shirt says, Crazy Weiner Dog Lady,” she said. “I have a Dachsund, Sebastian, and I just have one. He’s plenty.”

Josefina takes Sebastian on a walk every day.

city’s banner program,” she said. “The acknowledgment of Covid-19 has impacted all traditional activities regarding high school seniors this year. The Oxnard Union High School District has no set plans for high school graduation ceremonies, and they don’t anticipate having a plan in place until the end of April.

Current representatives have requested the city’s permission to recognize the cost of 2021’s graduating seniors by hanging banners from the city-owned streetlights in the public right-of-way in Camarillo’s old town.”

She said these are cityowned streetlights, and the banners need to be installed and removed by the city.

“It will trigger prevailing wage requirements because public funds are used to pay the banner contractor,” D’Anna said. “Based on the amount of streetlights and the criteria for the senior banners, described to staff, they determined the installation and removal of the banners are estimated to cost about $11,250, not including any maintenance expenses that could arise.”

The Economic Development and Land Use Committee recommended that the city staff bring the item to the council.

Councilmember Susan Santangelo asked if the students will incur any costs.

“I feel confident that we will be able to raise the funds,” Chastain said. “We’re also being backed by the Camarillo Old Town Association. I’m also the president of that association. Many of our business members have already said they would be sponsors.”

Council Member Kevin Kildee wanted to know how the kids will be honored.

“At this point, we wanted to put their names and their school, but it would be too much time and tedious work to put into 800 students and get the names for everybody,” Chastain said. “Rather than having the possibility of an error, we decided to group the schools. Camarillo High School would be notated at the top, as the class of 2021 with their color.” Individuals or companies who want to donate to the project can send it to the Camarillo Old Town Association.

approximately 36,500 residential wastewater accounts affected, including townhomes, condominiums, and single-family residential connections.

“This change will not include apartments, mobile homes, commercial, multi-family residential or industrial customers,” she said. “The County of Ventura is anticipating a charge of 21 cents per parcel for each direct assessment.

This change will cost the city approximately $7,700 per year for the County of Ventura to collect singlefamily residential wastewater service charges on behalf of the city. It would need to provide data to the county, including the assessor’s personal number and the sewer service charge being levied on each property.”

Biotech plays a huge role in Thousand Oaks’ success

By Chris Frost Thousand Oaks-- The conversation about the city’s top 10 goals and priorities continues with Public Works Director Cliff Finley reviewing the Rancho Road Bike and Sidewalks Project.

T

HE project will provide bike lanes and sidewalks on both sides of Rancho Road from the transit center to Thousand Oaks Boulevard.

The project also has on and offramp improvements, including a traffic signal, at the southbound 101 on and off-ramps.

“The total estimated cost of the project is $2.2 million, and the project has received just under $2 million in grant funds,” Finley said.

“Construction is also anticipated to start on this project next week.”

The traffic division continues evaluating intersections to install flashing yellow arrows.

“We typically budget for six or seven per year; our actual number installed varies, based on the age of the existing equipment and whether an upgrade to the control panels is required,” he said. “The traffic commission recommended approval of seven new installations at their last meeting. Staff continues to apply for grants for sidewalks, bicycle, and safety equipment. Today, we received notification that the city has been awarded nearly $900,000 for additional traffic safety improvement projects.”

The city continues to conduct performance tests on the well at Los Robles Golf Course, which would be the first municipal well in the city and help Thousand Oaks reduce its dependence on imported water.

“The performance test, preliminary design report, and environmental documents will be completed and shared with the council later this year,” he said.

Finley said the operations staff continues providing annual maintenance for the infrastructure, including water, wastewater, storm drains, sidewalks, roadways, and city landscape.

“Their dedicated work is what makes Thousand Oaks a wonderful place to live and work,” he said.

The master plan for the Hill Canyon Treatment Plant is complete, he said, including the maintenance proj-

ects identified in the master plan; the proposed capital improvement plan will come before the council.

“We will also be bringing this to the council as a separate agen-

da item to provide an overview of the findings and make recommendations, included in the plans,” he said. “Many of the projects identified in the plan were already a part

of the current capital improvement plan budget and are underway. Active projects for this year include the cleaning and rehabilitation of digester number one, which is the final digester to be cleaned, reactor electrical upgrades, fats, oil, and grease station upgrades, secondary clarifier number three rehab, sewer interceptor improvements, and the battery storage project, which is $2.5 million that was fully funded by a grant.”

City Manager Andrew Powers brought the focus back to economic development and said there is no better example of what can be done with a strategic emphasis than its biotechnology cluster.

“The council identified growing our biotech as a priority several years ago, and the fruits of that commitment have really borne out through investments and transactions this past year,” he said.

“Westlake Village Bio Partners announced a new venture capital fund totaling over a half-billion dollars to supplement their existing $300 million existing fund.

These dollars, paired with commitments from bioscience real

estate companies, entrepreneurial biotech startups, property owners, and brokers, are transforming the Rancho Conejo Industrial area of our city, resulting in hundreds of new jobs and millions of new investment. I cannot overstate how impactful the city council and city steps in this focus have been.”

The city had regular dialogue with biotech companies looking to expand its footprint and new companies looking to locate in Thousand Oaks.

“The critical mass of biotech investment is not only important economically, with average starting salaries at $117,000 a year, it supplements the job market for an industry anchored by the county’s largest private employer, Amgen,” he said.

“The broader societal benefit is also immeasurable. Cures and treatments for a wide variety of diseases may originate out of these labs.” Thousand Oaks’ economic development plan seeks to balance jobs, housing, and the environment, he said, which finds the intersection where there is a true quality of life.

“This is at the heart of the general plan that is underway,” he said.

minute; God rest his soul since he had a big heart attack and died. However, while we worked together, he taught me a few things, starting with asking questions for everyone. If I don’t ask the questions, no one will, The Hawk used to tell me that, and I believed him, so that’s what I do. He also told me to get multiple views of a story and ask many people how they feel about a topic. That’s my niche, multi-layered stories.

Those of you who’ve spent time talking to me know that I’m a mix of SOB and goofball.

I was raised by a long line of executives who were born at age 21 and smoked Chesterfields without filters, led by my father, who would have turned 95, April 15. They were tough and made no excuses.

At the same time, my mother’s dad, Jack McGurr, my beloved Pop-Pop, performed on Vaudeville and had an outrageous sense of humor. I have all of that in me, and I don’t feel bad about it. That’s how I was raised.

So here it is. Respect diverse points of view, and don’t be a hypocrite. If you preach no hate, look in the mirror and say can I do better. I mean, are you looking for honesty, or are you looking to make a poignant speech based on the headlines and hope no one calls you to the mat?

What would The Hawk say to me today? My guess is that he would tell me to stand tough, strong and

draw from the Chesterfield crowd that played a big part in developing my personality. If there’s an issue that will challenge someone, my father would tell me to ask the question, and if they don’t like it, tough nuggies.

Street Address or other common designation of real property: 2137 Paseo Girasol Camarillo, California 93012 Described as follows: As more fully described on said Deed of Trust A.P.N #.: 163-0-080-265 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court,

pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale.

If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (866) 266-7512 or visit this Internet Web site www.elitepostandpub.com, using the file number assigned to this case 20-61358. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (866) 266-7512, or visit this internet website www.elitepostandpub.com, using the file number assigned to this case 2061358 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

TRI-COUNTY SENTRY, FRIDAY, APRIL 23, 2021

NEWS Council rejects appeal to stop hotel

By Chris Frost ries or 88 feet.

The Oxnard City Council, April 20, rejected an appeal of the Tru Hilton Hotel Project t­ he Planning Commission approved for Planning and Zoning Permit No. 19­500­03 (Special Use Permit) located at 180 West Esplanade Drive, subject to certain findings and conditions.

T

HE appeal rejection allows for the construction of an 88-room hotel in the Food 4 Less Shopping Center.

The hotel will be 41,422 square feet and five stories, and 88 parking spaces.

A modification allows the building to exceed two sto-

Project Planner Joe Pearson presented the item to the council and said the owner and operator of Gold’s Gym filed for the appeal.

The general plan land use is commercial general for the property, and the zoning designation is general commercial.

“The hotel is allowed in the C2 zone, pursuant to Oxnard City Code which allows for all related uses permitted in the commercial office zone,” he said. “That allows for hotels to be permitted in the C2 zone, subject to the approval of a special use permit.”

He said there would be minimal site improvements needed.

“These improvements will be located in the back of the building where parking spaces are being removed to allow a hotel pool and out-

Councilman Bert Perello door amenity area, as well as the expansion on a trash enclosure,” Pearson said. “Access to the site will continue to be provided off Esplanade Drive.”

The five-story building will have a height of 70 feet at the elevator tower and 60 feet at the top of the parapet.

(File photo) The planning commission held a public hearing, February 18 to consider a special-use permit allowing for the development of the Tru Hilton Project.

“Based on the analysis in the planning commission staff report, the staff recommended approval of the proj-

ect,” he said. “At the hearing, the planning commission heard public testimony, deliberated, and approved the project as they made all the findings required to grant the special-use permit.”

On March 8, after the planning commission approved the project, the appellant filed a timely appeal with the city because the project was not consistent with the 2012 project approvals for the shopping center and said a new mitigated negative declaration should have been prepared because the hotel was not anticipated.

This is incorrect, Pearson said, and it was noted in the staff report because the Food 4 Less Shopping Center Redevelopment Project did not prohibit or limit any uses within the shopping center.

“Only the gas station and Food 4 Less were identified and proposed at the time of the development; all other future uses were to be allowed on the uses allowed in the C2 zone,” he said. “This includes the current gym use and the proposed hotel.”

“The state CEQA guideline allows for an addendum to a previous environmental document, subject to the provided state guidelines,”

he continued. “The appellant failed to identify, pursuant to the State CEQA Guidelines, why the addendum was not sufficient, and a new environmental document should have been prepared.”

As a result, the staff still finds that the state CEQA guidelines and addendum are appropriate environmental documents.

“The project is consistent with the 2030 general plan,” he said. “The project is an infill development located along two commercial corridors, and it will also further the redevelopment efforts of the Food 4 Less Shopping Center with the approval of the planned development permit.”

The project will be located on one of the two remaining loading pads, he said, that was originally approved under the planned development permit.

“The shopping center has a shared parking agreement, which allows for provisional parking based on demand, as opposed to strict standards,” Pearson said. “That allows for the most efficient use of commercial land and the adequate provision of parking.” for the complete story, visit tricountysentry.com
