Ministerial Modifications
On September 16, 2025, the County Board of Supervisors adopted a ministerial process for change of use projects and for minor changes to existing, approved and active discretionary entitlements that are consistent with the standards outlined in Sections 8111-6.1.1 and 8111-1.1.1(b) of the Non-Coastal Zoning Ordinance (NCZO), and the conditions of approval of the related discretionary entitlement. This ministerial process is for those proposed changes that do not rise to the level of a discretionary Permit Adjustment or other type of discretionary modification.
Ministerial modification applications shall be submitted through the Citizen Access web portal. The portal can be accessed at: https://vcca.venturacounty.gov/citizenaccess/Default.aspx. Please refer to the Ministerial Permits webpage for details on how to submit an online application, which is the same process as Zoning Clearance applications. Please contact the Planning Division at (805) 654-2488 or via email at Plan.Counter@venturacounty.gov if you have any questions.
