Project Title: Maulhardt-Stiles Sub-Neighborhood Plan Project

Lead Agency: City of Oxnard Community Development Department, Planning Division 214 South C Street, Oxnard, California 93030

Project Location

The approximately 107-acre Project Site is located in the Northeast Community Specific Plan (NECSP) area. The Project Site is generally bounded to the north by Cesar Chavez Drive, to the east by Gibraltar Street/East Village Park, to the south by Camino Del Sol, and to the west by North Rose Avenue. The Project Site includes one Assessor Parcel (APN) owned by Oxnard Union High School District (OUHSD) (APN 214-0-020-635) and two parcels (APNs 214-0-020-615 and 214-0-020-625) owned by the Applicant. Regional access to the Project Site is provided via U.S. Route 101, approximately 0.7 miles north of the Project Site. The zoning for the Project Site is Multiple-Family Residential Planned Development (R-2-PD), General Commercial Planned Development (C-2-PD), and Community Reserve (C-R), and its General Plan land use designations are Residential Low-Medium (RLM), Commercial General (CG) and Park (PRK).

Project Description

The Project proposes to implement the City of Oxnard 2030 General Plan and the NECSP by regulating development of up to 950 residential dwelling units, a maximum of 40,000 square feet of retail and general commercial space, and public parks on the undeveloped portions of the Project Site north and southwest of Del Sol High School. Proposed buildings would vary from one- to four-stories tall.

As Sub-Neighborhood Plans are adopted by amendment to the NECSP, the Project also includes an amendment to the NECSP and a corresponding General Plan Amendment to change the land use designation for the Project Site and a Zone Change to change the zoning for the site to be consistent with the Sub-Neighborhood Plan. A vesting tentative tract map to subdivide the site in conformance with the Sub-Neighborhood Plan is also proposed.

The proposed NECSP Sub-Neighborhood Plan identifies three planning areas referred to as Areas A, B and C, within the 107-acre Project Site. The proposed Project would regulate the development in Planning Areas A and C. Planning Area B contains the existing Del Sol High School, opened by OUHSD in July 2023, which occupies the central 50.7 acres of the Project Site. OUHSD, acting as lead agency for the Del Sol High School Project, prepared and certified a separate EIR, New High School No. 8 (Del Sol High School EIR) (SCH # 2019029101) in November 2019 for this high school.

Area A, the North Neighborhood, includes the northern 44.5 acres of the Project Site and is planned as a residential neighborhood including various housing types, multiple parks, and open spaces, with neighborhood commercial uses.

Area C, the Southwest Neighborhood, includes the southwestern 11.8 acres of the Project Site, and is planned to include attached and multi-family housing, along with neighborhood parks and open spaces.

The Project’s proposed Tentative Tract Map would create a minimum and  maximum number of residential dwelling units that would be allowed within the 12 master lots within the Project Site. Each lot could be developed within these ranges provided that the total number of residential units does not exceed 950 units

The Initial Study is available at the City’s Community Development Department located at 214 South C Street, Oxnard, California, 93030 and at the Oxnard Public Library, 251 South A Street, Oxnard, CA 93030.

Public Review Period and Scoping Meeting

The City has established a 30-day public review period from February 13, 2025, through March 17, 2025, for this NOP. During this review period, the City aims to share Project information with the public and gather feedback from agencies, organizations, residents, business owners, and other stakeholders on the EIR’s scope, content, mitigation measures, and potential Project alternatives to reduce environmental impacts.

During the 30-day public review period, the City will also hold a public scoping meeting on March 4, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. at Oxnard Public Library located at 251 South “A” Street Oxnard, CA 93030. The public scoping meeting will provide an additional opportunity to receive and disseminate information, identify potential environmental issues of concern, and discuss the scope of analysis to be included in the EIR. The scoping meeting is not a public hearing, and no decisions on the Project will be made at this meeting. It is an additional opportunity for agencies, organizations, and the public to provide scoping comments in person or virtually on what environmental issues should be addressed in the EIR.
