Governor Announces New Restrictions Due to COVID-19

This afternoon, Governor Gavin Newsom announced new restrictions for Ventura County and other counties that have remained on the state's Monitoring List due to elevated COVID-19 figures. These restrictions will apply for a minimum of three weeks but may be extended based on epidemiological indicators. The additional restrictions, effective immediately, are:
  • All bars are closed, regardless if they are indoor or outdoor
  • The following may not operate INDOORS:
  • Restaurants (Take-out and outdoor seating are still allowed)
  • Wineries and tasting rooms
  • Movie theaters
  • Family entertainment centers (such as bowling alleys, miniature golf, batting cages, and arcades)
  • Zoos and museums
  • Cardrooms

Ventura County officials are reviewing the Governor's announcement, so further changes may follow in the coming days. For more information, please visit the state's COVID-19 website.
Restaurants Can Expand into Sidewalks, Parking Lots with Free Permit

The City is offering restaurants a FREE Outdoor Dining Permit to help restaurants (and similar establishments) that are losing seating due to the loss of seating capacity. These permits allow outdoor dining service in parking lots, on sidewalks, and in other outdoor spaces located adjacent to their storefronts.

Restaurants must have property owner permission to obtain an Outdoor Dining Permit, and outdoor dining areas cannot block walkways. To apply, please contact Freddy Carrillo by E-mail or by calling (805) 517-6224. You can complete the entire permitting process by phone and E-mail, so no physical visit to City Hall is necessary.
