Coastal Commission allows residential use

After finally getting approval from the Coastal Commission to allow residential use (2008-10 and again 2012-14) and obtaining local permits, grading has started on the large “triangle lot” residential project. This development (off of Sanjon on the location of the former Crabshack Restaurant) will link Ventura to the beach and includes a new bluff-top public promenade with an overlook area fronting onto the Freeway.

The 231-unit multi-family residential apartment project is on approximately 11 acres. The project includes 137 one-bedroom units, 91 two-bedroom units, and 3 three-bedroom units.

Additionally, a 20,000 square foot publicly accessible park space is to be developed at the western edge of the project site adjacent to the Southern terminus of Ash Street. The project will have a new two-lane street with public parking available. Sidewalks are located on both sides of the street for pedestrian access.
