The "Guidelines for Orderly
Development" have been adopted by the
Board of Supervisors, all City Councils within
Ventura County, and the Local Agency
Formation Commission ( LAFCO). They
refine the guidelines adopted in 1976 and
maintain the consistent theme that urban
development should be located within
incorporated cities whenever and
wherever practical,
The adoption of these Guidelines in
March 1985 culminated an effort during the
previous year by the County, Cities and
LAFCO to improve the clarity of relationships
between local agencies with respect to
urban development projects. The Ventura
AFCO has directed that its staff use the

The following policies apply within Areas of
:r,aerest where a City exists, but outside fhui
iv �nnere of Infll genre•
HppilCOTlons for iana use permits or
entitlements shall be referred to the
City for review and comment
• The County is primarily responsible for
local land use planning, consistent
with the general land use goals and
objectives of the City.
• Urban development should be
allowed only within existing "com-
munities" as designated on the
County General Plan,
• Unincorporated urbanized areas
should financially support County -
administered urban services which
are comparable to those services
provided by Cities.
POLICIES WITHIN
AREAS OF INTEREST
Local Agency Formation Commission
( LAFCO) - A regulatory commission empowered by
State law in each California county to coordinate
logical and timely changes in local government
boundaries; conduct special studies which review
ways to reorganize, simplify and streamline
governmental structure; and prepare Spheres of
Influence for each city and special district within each
county.
Development Standards - Local regulations
which determine the provision of essential services
and infrastructure within designated land use districts
or jurisdictions and which control the architectural
and engineering design of buildings, structures, and
roadways.
Spheres of Influence - Plans adopted by LAFCO
which designate the probable ultimate boundaries of
each city and special district in Ventura County. The
adoption of Spheres of Influence is required by
Section 56425 of the Government Code.
Areas of interest - A plan adopted by LAFCU
wruch divides the Gounty into major geographic areas
each Area of Interest, thero is to ba no more then onc
iiy (but there will nu[ necessarily oe a city in each
Area). Areas of Interest also serve as planniny:
aferral boundaries for tho Cuur?ty Plann,ng D v;s on
Ventura County "Rural Communities"
Existing residential, commercial and /or industrial
"communities" occurring outside of designated Urban
Areas which may include uses, densities, and zoning
designations normally limited to such Urban Areas.
The Rural Community designation has been applied
oy the Board of Supervisors to the following: Bale
Canyon, Home Acres (Moorpark), Mission Rock
Road, North Coastal Area (including Faria, La
Conchita, Mobile Rincon, Mussell Shoals, Phillips,
Rincon Point, Sea Cliff and Solimar), Rockotdyne,
Santa Susana Knolls, Saticoy Country Club, Somis,
South Coastal Area, and Summit (Upper Ojai).
DEFINITIONS
LT.s+.l...._." i:1�1,.3:1�':.:7cL::Y :...�:.c.... ��.._ �. ___.__.. .....� ..... ».
The following policies shall apply within City
Spheres of Influence:
• Applicants for land use permits or
entitlements for urban uses shall be
encouraged to apply to the City to
achieve their development goals
and discouraged from applying to
the County.
• The City is primarily responsible for
local land use planning and for
providing municipal services.
• Prior to being developed for urban
purposes or to receiving municipal
services, land should be annexed to
the City.
• Annexation to the City is preferable to
the formation of new or expansion of
existing County service areas.
• Land uses which are allowed by the
County without annexation should be
equal to or more restrictive than land
uses allowed by the City.
• Development standards and capital
improvement requirements imposed
by the County for new or expanding
developments, should not be less
than those that would be imposed by
the City.
POLICIES WITHIN
SPHERES OF INFLUENCE
The Guidelines for Orderly Development
emoody two general policies:
• Urban development should occur,
whenever and wherever practical,
within incorporated cities which exist
to provide a full range of municipal
services and are responsible for
urban land use planning.
• The Cities and the County should strive
to produce general plans, ordin-
ances and polices which will fulfill
these Guidelines.
GENERAL POLICIES
The intent of these Guidelines is to clarify the
relationship between the Cities and the
County with respect to urban planning, to
serve to facilitate a better understanding
regarding development standards and
fees and to Identify the appropriate
governmental agency responsible for
making determinations on land use
requests.
INTENT OF GUIDELINES
TN. Guidelines are a unique effort to
encourage urban development to occur
witnin cities, enhance the regional
responsibility of County government, and
facilitate the orderly planning and
development of Ventura County by:
• Providing a framework for coopera-
tive intergovernmental relations.
• Allowing for urbanization in a manner
that will accommodate the develop-
ment goals of the individual commu-
nities while conserving the resources
of the County.
• Promoting efficient and effective
delivery of community services for
existing and future residents.
• Identifying in a manner under-
standable to the general public the
planning and service responsibilities
of local governments providing
c..irban services.

Internal consistency
65300.5. In construint, th( provisions of this article, the Legislature intends that the general

(Added by Slats 1 ,),;,' Cir 11(tJ_ i
Local implementation
65300.7. The Le gi slat are i i rids that the diversity of the state's communities and their residents
requires planning agent ie3 and legislative bodies to implement this article in ways that
accommodate local ( ors litirms and ( ircumstances, while meeting its minimum require-
ments.
(Added by Slats P)8f Ch. 337. )
Balance of local situ-
65300.9. The Legislature: rcx;ognizes that the capacity of California cities and counties to
ation/compliance with
respond to state planning laws varies due to the legal differences between cities and
state and federal laws
counties, both charter and general law, and to differences among them in physical size and
characteristics, population size and density, fiscal and administrative capabilities, land use
and development issues, and human needs. It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this
chapter to provide in of portunity for each city and county to coordinate its local budget
planning and local plarirung for federal and state program activities, such as community
development, with the oval land we planning process, recognizing that each city and
county is required ut c tablish its own appropriate balance in the context of the local
situation when allocatir�5 resources to meet these purposes.

Your letter does not indic,te precisely what types of
information the City Counci would like regarding Spheres
of Influence and Areas of Int.ere.,t. If after reviewing
this letter you feel that additional material would be
useful, we would be pleased t , ,oc,per ite further.
Areas of Interest
Areas of Interest were adopt, -d ty LJAFC0 in the late 1960s.
They divide the lower half of the County into geographic
planning areas. (Note: The north half of the County is
primarily Los Padres National Forest..) The concept is that
within each area of interest 'here will. be no more than one
city. In this way the numbe cf Potential cities has been
limited to a manageable number
These planning boundaries h 7e se:r „,ed very effectively to
reduce potential competi -ior between cities for
annexations. For example, ,'prior to adopting Areas of
Interest, LAFCO received co ,urrent proposals from two
cities to annex the same =rritory. These "annexation
wars” have been effectively iddrest,ed through the area of
interest plan.
Perhaps of more direct interest to the City Council, by
adopting a Moorpark area of interest many years ago, this
geographic area was r're erved" for the eventual
incorporation of the City of M )mark
