First, please accept my apologies for the mass email but I wanted to make an important announcement...
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: Join us for tiny homes meeting at Ojai's City Hall! This is your last chance to legalize Tiny Homes as ADU's in Ojai!
WHEN: Tuesday, Aug. 28th at 7pm
WHERE: 401 S. Ventura Street, City Hall
Many of us have been working hard for the past 3 years on the proposed ADU ordinance to include tiny homes. The City has steadily moved forward making modifications and listening to public concerns... The last meeting was a pivotal meeting - Planning Commission gave recommendation to City Council to move forward with the ordinance.

It was a narrow margin with 3-2 vote. Planning Commissioner Chester Jagiello gave a compelling speech in favor of tiny homes, and Bobbi Corbin broke the tie, who was originally not in favor of the ordinance. She said "It empowers homeowners to have a choice."

VOICE YOUR SUPPORT: If you're a local resident and in favor of the ordinance, we urge you to attend the meeting! At the start of the meeting, you can pick up a speaker card in the lobby and hand it to the City clerk. Nervous? Don't know what to say? You can simply give your name and state that you support the ordinance.
If you cannot attend, write a letter to the City Council members BEFORE the meeting. The more feedback they receive, the better.
May this inspire change to legalize tiny homes in your own communities!
