City seeks input on its housing development
PALMDALE — The City of Palmdale, along with other local agencies, is looking for ways to facilitate a housing development on approximately 13 acres owned by the city and the Palmdale School District.
The goal of the effort to help a shovel-ready development is to accelerate housing production and to address local housing needs, according to a news release from the City of Palmdale.
The project site, at East Avenue R-12 and 27th Street East, includes 45 parcels.
It is zoned for grouped housing, such as townhomes, condominiums or apartments, with a density range of 10 to 20 units per acre. The site is also anticipated to include a public park, according to a fact sheet about the project.
The city and its partners are exploring options for providing housing at a variety of income levels.
“The city has been working hard to find creative solutions to our local housing needs,” Mayor Steve Hofbauer said. “We look forward to working closely with our community to design these innovative neighborhoods.”
The initial stages of the project are funded by the Regional Early Action Planning Grant program, which is administered by the Southern California Association of Governments.
To get the project started, the city is hosting two virtual public workshops to gather public input on the project.
The first workshop is at 5:30 p.m., Nov. 17.
