The Ventura County Civic Alliance through its Livable Communities working group believe we can build communities that enhance – instead of degrade – the quality of our environment and our quality of life.
The Alliance advocates for a more sustainable approach to development in Ventura County. We have adopted a nationally respected set of principles. These include promoting a range of housing choices; walkable, close-knit neighborhoods; repurposing of historic buildings; preservation of open space, farmland and critical environmental areas; and a variety of transportation options. Called the 10 Tenets of Livable Communities, these are not lofty, academic theories but sound practical strategies to serve as planning guidelines. Through our Livable Communities Newsletter, we highlight projects – already built or approved – that follow these tenets.
