“The Hitch Ranch plan is well thought through, providing a mix of affordable rental housing, starter homes for first time buyers and multi-family homes. The mix of housing types also provides opportunities for residents to live and work in our community, reducing commute impacts. Please approve this project — it will make a tremendous positive impact on our community.”

“Adding a full variety of housing in this region will bring vitality and strengthen our local businesses, economy and community. Eastern Ventura County has seen very slow growth, and a well-thought-out development like Hitch Ranch will encourage orderly growth and development that will support our local community. For this reason, I would like to express my deep support for the Hitch Ranch project.”

“This project gives the community a variety of different housing opportunities at a range of price points, but it will also help address the cities much needed low-income housing. Moorpark may not have a large homeless population yet, but if you see the neighboring cities, you know it is coming. These much-needed, low-income houses will help curb those concerns.

This project has been in the works almost 40 years. It’s time.”

“Ventura County suffers from a severe housing shortage that pushes people into overcrowded homes, longer commutes, and in many cases, out of California altogether. By creating multifamily housing near transit, Hitch Ranch will make Moorpark and our broader region more affordable, sustainable, and inclusive.”
