S.O.A.R. is a local nonprofit organization dedicated
to making Ventura County a better place to live by limiting urban
sprawl, protecting open space and agricultural lands, and promoting
livable and sustainable communities in Ventura County. |
Once cities sprawl together — each city loses the unique
character vital to a real sense of community.
• SOAR guards against runaway, ill-planned
growth before the problems associated with urban
sprawl get out of hand.
• SOAR ensures well-planned cities that work
— focusing development
within existing urban areas.
• SOAR protects farming and our greenbelts
|
The first SOAR Initiative was approved by the
voters in the City of Ventura in 1995. Since the 1995, SOAR
initiatives have passed in all major cities in Ventura
County, and also on a countywide basis throughout Ventura County.
No other county in the United States has more effective protections
against urban sprawl. None!
