I. Overview Vision Statement Over the next ten years, Ventura will emphasize our history, culture and unique character to sustain the Downtown as our city’s authentic heart – the pre-eminent arena for civic and artistic life and a preferred location for retail and office commerce. “Downtown Ventura is to be a thriving and integrated district of civic, cultural, commercial, recreational and residential activities.” So began the 1993 Downtown Specific Plan which guided more than a decade of successful revitalization: • Main and California Streets have come back to life as the “central spines of activity”, fulfilling the 1993 vision that the-then struggling Downtown would one day be the “logical place to go find one’s friends, have a cup of coffee, buy a book or simply relax and watch the people go by.” • A new cineplex, public parking structure and streetscape improvements have served as catalytic drivers of renewed vitality, achieving the goal of "infusing the streets with activity throughout the day and evening.” • Major new housing developments are finally underway, not only living up to the aim of “insuring a diverse residential population” but also the standard of “demanding the highest quality in new development.” Downtown Ventura street scene This 2007 Downtown Specific Plan builds on the first plan’s accomplishments, assesses our new challenges, and spells out what is needed to succeed in the decade ahead. It also addresses the limitations of the 1993 plan, particularly through the new formbased code that through interim use has brought greater clarity and discipline to the goal of engendering buildings that “insure the continued liveability and vitality of the Downtown and contribute to a memorable city identity.” City of San Buenaventura D O W N T O W N S P E C I F I C P L A N I-1
