The said affordable housing project would also come with supportive services such as medical care, training for job opportunities, and amenities like on-site maintenance and a community garden.

Ventura County Board of Supervisors

In a published article by Ojai Valley News, the Ventura County Board of Supervisors is set to decide on whether to revoke the conditional use permit for Santa Clara Waste Water, the site of a devastating explosion in 2014.

This explosion caused injuries, evacuations, and legal actions. The property has gone through foreclosure auctions and recently changed ownership.

The Planning Director is suggesting the permit be revoked following the withdrawal of the applicant’s application. A public hearing is scheduled for March 26.
