Barrancas below, foothills above

County flood-control channels cut through 93003, among them the Arundell Barranca and the Harmon Barranca, a Santa Clara River tributary. The City’s Safety Element maps 100-year flood areas beside the Arundell south of Main Street and the Harmon south of Telegraph Road, plus land just north of the river near the Buenaventura Golf Course. Uphill, the City’s Very High fire zones sit against the northern foothills. About 10 of the ZIP’s 20.8 square miles of land lie outside any city (Census 2020), including open hillside north of City limits, where the General Plan calls development unlikely: much of that land is preserved in perpetuity, and the terrain is steep.

93003 questions, answered

Which fire agency covers a hillside 93003 address?

It depends on the city line. Inside City limits, wildfire areas are the Ventura City Fire Department’s primary responsibility, and the City’s interactive hazard map gives each address its zone. Beyond the line, the unincorporated hills are a State Responsibility Area under CAL FIRE and the County Fire Protection District. In Ondulando, the City’s Thomas Fire rebuild rules call for a grading permit on property identified with settlement issues, so ask for any soils reports.

Could the land around Pacific View Mall change?

It may. Ventura’s 2021 to 2029 Housing Element could meet the state housing target without rezoning, yet it named the mall and the Johnson Drive corridor, both in this ZIP, as added rezoning sites, noting that most of those owners had shown interest in redevelopment.
