The site is currently a vacant lot with a billboard sign that was constructed in 1952. It is 0.48 acres over all. Plans call for a five story building, with 55 units inside. 48 units will have two bedrooms and one bathroom at 930 square feet, and seven units will be studio, 500 square-foot designs. Six of the units will be low income housing.

4,500 square feet of commercial space will be on the ground floor. Amenities will include a recreation room and 2,678 square-feet of open space. 36 parking spaces will be provided. Improvements will be made to the adjacent alleyway to create a woonerf, which will promote pedestrian and bicycle safety, and minimize vehicle conflicts.

This ugly building appears day after day…..like another 1960’s design for Oxnard. I’d landmark the billboard and leave it for perpetuity.
(Miami – breathtaking new building every day….LA – bland, boxy, clumbsy dumb buildings every day). So curious.
