===Incorporation=== [[File:Camarillo Ranch House 2.jpg|thumb|right|The [[Camarillo Ranch House]], built by the Camarillo brothers on their Rancho Calleguas.]] Plans were made for the incorporation of the city to control the rapid expansion. Camarillo became a city in 1964 and soon put into place a General Plan and building codes. In 1964 the closest traffic signal was {{convert|2|mi|km}} from the city center on the road to Point Mugu, and the first shopping center and supermarket were under construction.{{citation needed|date=February 2022}} Many of the home buyers during the 1960s were military veterans, who had been stationed at one of the local bases. The temperate climate and the living conditions lured them back. With the establishment of both the Pacific Missile Range at NAS Point Mugu and the Naval Civil Engineering Laboratory at Port Hueneme many found employment that utilized their military training. Other newcomers were those who worked and lived in the [[San Fernando Valley]] and were willing to endure the commute for the opportunity to raise their families in a smog-free, semirural environment. Still others relocated here with their employers, like 3M, and [[Harbor Freight Tools]] who built facilities in and around the city to take advantage of the large workforce. [[Technicolor]] Video Services Inc. was the largest DVD duplicator in the world.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.technicolor.com/GlobalEnglish/Corporate/About/Pages/default.aspx|title=Technicolor Home Page}}{{dead link|date=July 2016}}{{cbignore}}</ref> In 2014, the council voted against an {{convert|895|acre|ha|adj=mid| project}} that would have extended development on agricultural lands east towards the [[Conejo Grade]].<ref>Harris, Mike (September 10, 2014) [http://archive.vcstar.com/news/special/paradise/camarillo-council-kills-plans-for-large-development-ep-607165386-351245731.html "Camarillo council kills plans for large development"] ''[[Ventura County Star]]''</ref> ;Camarillo Springs Fire {{Main|Springs Fire}} Beginning 7:02 am. on Thursday, May 2, 2013, a major brush fire began in the Camarillo Springs area and burned throughout the area.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://cdfdata.fire.ca.gov/incidents/incidents_details_info?incident_id=780|title=Springs Fire General Information|website=cdfdata.fire.ca.gov|access-date=February 25, 2019|archive-date=September 20, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150920211220/http://cdfdata.fire.ca.gov/incidents/incidents_details_info?incident_id=780|url-status=dead}}</ref> The community of Dos Vientos and CSUCI were evacuated due to the proximity of the fire. About 15 houses were damaged, but none burned down. 28,000 acres of land was burned by the fire. Finally, on Sunday, May 5, 2013, rain in the area during the night helped firefighters bring the fire under full control.{{Citation needed|date=September 2014}}
