Luxury Remodeling in Oak Park

Oak Park is the largest unincorporated community in Ventura County, so building permits come from the County's Resource Management Agency and land use follows the Oak Park Area Plan. Its first 600 homes went up in the mid-1960s, and a court-approved agreement in 1974 cleared the way for the rest of the community in return for more than 1,843 acres of donated land for a fire station, a County administration building, schools, parks and open space. The community reached build-out in 2002, and the open space within and around it is permanently dedicated parkland. For a remodel or backyard project today, three rules come first: the Area Plan holds development to the setback standards in the adopted Oak Park Development Plans, oaks and sycamores near the work bring in the County tree ordinance, and under County Building Code Section 712A an addition or alteration to a house built before the July 1, 2008 wildfire exposure standards must meet those standards in the area of work.

A planned community built in stages from the mid-1960s to its 2002 build-out, under Development Plans the County approved for four planning zones between 1974 and 1991. The Area Plan provides for a mix of apartments, attached single-family homes and conventional detached houses, with residential designations ranging from one to twenty dwelling units per acre, and the tracts sit within and against permanently dedicated open space.

One team designs, permits and builds every project, and our own crews self-perform the work, so the people who plan your Oak Park project are the people on site building it.
