Land Use Policy
• How the Land Use Policy was applied
– Workshop participants helped to define general
areas
– Land use designations within existing communities
include “higher” densities, ranging from RL5 on
the low end to H30 on the high end
– Less developed areas are based on the Hazards
and Environmental Constraints Map where the
lowest densities are applied, ranging from RL40 on
the low end to RL10 on the high end
Land Use Policy
• How the Land Use Policy was applied
– Hazards and Environmental Constraints Map
Class I = 1du/10ac
Class II = 1du/20ac
Class III = 1du/40ac

Land Use Policy and Zoning
• Connection between Land Use Policy and
Zoning
– Land Use Policy provides the overall framework
and general direction for development of a parcel
– Zoning implements Land Use Policy by detailing
the specific development standards for individual
parcels
– Zoning has to be consistent with the Land Use
Policy
Antelope Valley Area Plan
Update
Zoning
Zoning
• Determines the permitted uses on a parcel
• Spells out specific development standards
regulating the use of individual parcels (i.e.
setbacks, max heights, min lot sizes etc.)
• Has the force of law; provisions are enforced
by the County
• Ensures that the exercise of an individual
owner’s property rights does not encroach
upon the rights of another property owner

Land Use Policy and Zoning
Density vs Minimum Lot Size
• Density (Land Use Policy)
– Determines the number of dwelling units allowed
in a given parcel (i.e. RL10 allows 2 units in 20 ac,
4 units in 40 ac, 6 units in 60 ac etc.)
– determines the number of parcels a property can
be subdivided into
• Minimum Lot Size (Zoning)
– determines the smallest size any one of the
resulting parcels can be (i.e. A-2-10,000 = 10,000
sq ft; A-2-2 = 2 acres)
Land Use Policy and Zoning
Density vs Minimum Lot Size
Sample Scenario: 40 ac lot, RL10, A-2-2
* RL10 will allow 4 units in 40 acres
* A-2-2 will allow newly subdivided lots as small as 2 acres
