SOAR Protects Our County’s Open Space.
SOAR is a series of voter initiatives that require a majority vote of the people before agricultural land or open space areas can be rezoned for development. The eight voter-approved SOAR initiatives passed by the cities of Camarillo, Fillmore, Moorpark, Oxnard, Santa Paula, Simi Valley, Thousand Oaks and Ventura require voter approval for urban development beyond a City Urban Restriction Boundary (CURB), or, in the case of the City of Ventura, before rezoning agricultural land within the city’s sphere of influence.

Along with the defeat of Measures A & B, then allowing 2 more oil wells to operate on antiquated permits issued back in 1957. and now the repeal of 20 year old campaign finance rules, it is easy to see that the County Board has certainly tipped. Big money in Ventura County politics has arrived.
