City of Camarillo Adopts Lighting Fixture Ordinance |
Lighting is an important component of community safety and quality of life. The City Council adopted an ordinance on Jan. 25, 2023, that established one unified municipal code Chapter 19.47 dedicated solely to lighting regulations and applicable throughout the City except within the public right-of-way. The new ordinance did not change the intent of the previous requirements, rather it re-established the goals of ensuring safety, updated standards to reflect current practices for modern development projects, and preserved standards for reducing glare and light trespass and spill over. This ordinance is consistent with design guidelines for lighting that are included in Camarillo’s General Plan.

If It's on the Ground, It's in the Watershed |
|
The City of Camarillo requests your help in keeping Camarillo and its creeks beautiful. Not only is trash unsightly, but it can also clog storm drain lines and contribute to flooding on public and private property. Most trash does not decompose for years in the environment. Cigarette butts and other trash that are not properly disposed of will eventually travel by stormwater runoff through drains and pollute our creeks and ocean, which may harm aquatic life.
The table below outlines the time it takes for each type of litter to decompose in the environment.
To keep Camarillo beautiful, properly dispose of trash and cigarette butts in designated waste receptacles. A clean and healthy watershed is a beautiful watershed, which is why it is important to prevent litter from entering our storm drains and waterways.
