The county ordinance states: Sec. 8107-41.3.3 – Standards for Farmworker Housing Complexes c.

AMCAL is not an agricultural employer and is perceived as lacking concern for farmworker safety and the well-being of their families; otherwise, they would relocate this project to a site that is safe and convenient for farmworkers. Upon reviewing the VHFHSZ Local Response Area Fire Map, it seems unlikely that a wildfire would bypass Ventura Ranch, as common sense suggests the contrary. Farmworker Justice has been asked to intervene, as AMCAL appears to be acting out of self-interest.
