The SP was adopted on February 9, 1989, to guide the development of the Antelope Valley Auto Center (also referred to as the Palmdale Auto Mall), a master planned automotive sales, and leasing center designed to accommodate up to 15 auto dealerships. Since 1989, there have been five amendments to the SP, not including the proposed Specific Plan Amendment (SPA).
The SP area is bounded by Technology Drive to the north, State Route 14 on the east, Avenue Q to the south, and 5th Street West to the west. The SP facilitated a unified environment through the coordinated use of similar elements such as roundabouts, landscaping treatments, etc., which gives the Palmdale Auto Mall a specific identity.
On January 11, 2024, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. PC-2024-002, recommending City Council approval of the CDEV 23-0003.

A. INTENT OF THE CITY COUNCIL:
1. The City of Palmdale is proposing to adopt Comprehensive Development Plan (CDEV) 23-0003 described herein; and
2. CDEV 23-0003 proposes to amend the Antelope Valley Auto Center Specific Plan (SP) to modify the existing language and Palmdale Municipal Code (PMC) Section references to be consistent with the zoning code update adopted March 15, 2023; and
3. On January 11, 2024, the Planning Commission of the City of Palmdale conducted a duly noticed public hearing on CDEV 23-0003, and concluded said hearing on that date; and
4. On February 7, 2024, the City Council of the City of Palmdale conducted a duly noticed public hearing on CDEV 23-0003 and concluded said hearing on that date. Evidence, both written and oral, was duly presented and considered by the City Council at the aforesaid public hearing, including but not limited to, the staff report dated February 7, 2024.
B. ORDINANCE
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALMDALE DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1 . The City Council hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals, Part A of this Ordinance, are true and correct.
SECTION 2 . The City Council hereby finds as follows with respect to the environmental documentation:
Ordinance No. 1638
(a) The proposed application is subject to the “general rule” exemption pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), which provides that, where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. The CDEV involves updating the language of the SP and therefore is not subject to CEQA. (b) The custodian of records for the materials which constitute the record of proceedings upon which the City Council’s decision is based, is the Planning Manager of the City of Palmdale. Those documents are available for public review in the Planning Division of the City of Palmdale, located at 38250 Sierra Highway, Palmdale, California 93550, telephone (661) 267-5200.
SECTION 3 . Based upon substantial evidence presented to the City Council during February 7, 2024, public hearing, including public testimony and written and oral staff reports, the City Council specifically finds as follows:
(a) The distribution, location, and extent of land uses, including open space, as depicted in the Specific Plan is consistent with the General Plan. (SPA) The Application is a request to amend the language within the existing SP to be consistent with the comprehensive zoning update adopted by the City Council on March 15, 2023, which amended Title 17 of the PMC to implement the vision of Palmdale 2045 as well as support new land use patterns and future development. As such, City staff have identified minor changes to the SP document to correct zoning section references. The proposal does not include modifications to the distribution, location, and extent of land uses as allowed with the SP.
(b) The Specific Plan provides for adequate public infrastructure and services needed to support the land uses described in the plan. (SPA) (c) The standards and development criteria will ensure that development proceeds in an orderly fashion and maintains a high level of quality. (SPA) (d) The Specific Plan contains implementation measures to ensure that development is supported by adequate infrastructure as development occurs. (SPA)
(e) The site is suitable for the type and intensity of development proposed. (SPA)
(f) The flexibility in development standards afforded by the Specific Plan process has resulted in a project providing a superior design and greater amenities than would occur pursuant to more traditional zoning practices, and the project provides clear and substantial benefit to the City. (SPA) Ordinance No. 1638
The existing SP includes details and standards of development for the distribution and extent of infrastructure for the area, (i.e., roadway improvements, landscaping, water, sewer, etc.). The auto dealerships make a conscious economic decision to cluster to efficiently share the market with their competitors. The Palmdale Auto Mall design created a defined route for customers to shop for vehicles. Additionally, the design allows dealerships to utilize the interior avenues (i.e., Auto Center Drive and Carriage Way) onto which they front or face as their dealer storefronts. The Palmdale Auto Mall currently has a total of eight auto dealerships, with the intention to accommodate a total of 15. Furthermore, the Palmdale Auto Mall is the only location throughout the City that allows for the commercial sale of automobiles. CDEV 23-0003 is a request to modify the existing language and PMC Section references within the SP to be consistent with the zoning code update adopted on March 15, 2023.
SECTION 4. Based on the findings and conclusions set forth in the above Sections, and based on all other evidence in the record, the City Council hereby approved CDEV 23-0003 amending the (SP) as shown in Exhibit A to this Ordinance and find that the request is exempt from environmental review.
SECTION 5 . Severability. If any section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause, or phrase in this Ordinance or any part thereof is for any reason held to be unconstitutional, invalid, or ineffective by any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of the remaining portions of this Ordinance or any part thereof. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed each section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause, or phrase thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more subsections, subdivisions, paragraphs, sentences, clauses, or phrases be declared unconstitutional, or invalid, or ineffective, provided the basic purposes of this Ordinance and the benefits to the City and the public are not substantially impaired.
SECTION 6. All legal prerequisites and pre-conditions to introducing, enacting, and adopting this Ordinance have occurred as required by law and policy.
Ordinance No. 1638
SECTION 7. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this ordinance and shall cause this ordinance to be published or posted as required by law.
PASSED, APPROVED and ADOPTED this 7th day of February, 2024. ________________________________

SECTION 1.0 INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
2 1.0 INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
1.1 Purpose of the Specific Plan
The Auto Center Specific plan is prepared pursuant to California Government Code Section 65450 et. Sep. The law requires that the Specific Plan contain a detailed program for the “systematic implementation of the General Plan” accomplished through the use of text and diagrams which detail the following:
• The distribution and extent of land uses;
• The distribution and extent of infrastructure;
• Standards for development and conservation resources where appropriate; and
• Statement of the relationship between the Specific Plan and the General Plan.
To that end, it is the intent of this document to set forth the policies and standards that will regulate the construction of new auto dealership facilities within the Antelope Valley Auto Center.
It is further the intent of the Specific Plan to define the criteria for implementing coordinated design and the overall visual identity of the center; while preserving the opportunity for individual creativity within each dealership project.
1.2 Objectives of the Specific Plan
The basic objectives of the Specific Plan are to:
A. Establish a regional commercial automobile shopping center with ancillary and coordinated commercial sales, services, and uses;
B. Establish cooperation and coordination, between the City of Palmdale and the Auto Center participants.
3 C. Establish a long term and on-going source of economic strength to the community in terms of employment and government revenue;
D. Protect and enhance the natural, social, and physical attributes of the development area so as not to detrimentally affect adjacent existing developments; and
E. Establish innovative and quality site planning and architectural design maintaining a prosperous and marketable specialized commercial complex unique and individual in itself.
1.3 Relationship to Other Plans
The Auto Center Specific Plan represents roughly 12% of the commercial property located within proposed 10th Street West Assessment District (88-1). The Assessment District is being formed for the expressed purpose of upgrading the area’s sewer, water, roadway, and storm drain facilities to a level capable of supporting the planned regional commercial development.
In addition to the Auto Center proposal, 100 acres within Assessment District 88-1 have currently been committed to a Regional Shopping Mall.
Ground breaking is expected to begin in April of 1989.
1.4 Legislative Context
The Auto Center Specific Plan is adopted in order to establish regulations, conditions, standards, and criteria for the implementation of a regional commercial shopping center providing automobile and related merchandise and services exclusively.
When adopted, the Specific Plan will serve to implement the City of Palmdale Community General Plan. The Auto Center Specific Plan implements the goals and objectives of the Palmdale Community General Plan by:
4 A. Encouraging the economic fortitude of the community through long term commitment of high sales tax generating commercial uses to the project area;
B. Promoting the logical extension of urban services to an area planned for future regional commercial development; and
C. Advancing the aesthetic objectives of the community through ensuring high quality architectural and landscape design.
The objectives and standards outlined within the Auto Center Specific Plan are necessary to ensure the integrity of the Auto Center concept. Once confirmed, the Auto Center Specific Plan will serve as the regulatory statute for the Auto Center. All requirements of the Zoning Ordinance Palmdale Municipal Code (PMC) and of the specific zoning of the subject property must be complied with unless alternative requirements are set forth in the Specific Plan. In the event the Specific Plan fails to address certain standards, the City ordinances will apply. (CDEV 23-0003, adopted by City Council XX XX,202X)
SECTION 2.0 SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN
6 2.0 SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN
2.1 Project Description
The Auto Center Specific Plan consists of 78 acres and is located west of the Antelope Valley Freeway, in the City of Palmdale, California. (SPA 04- 01, adopted by City Council January 10, 2005.)
The Auto Center Specific Plan allows for the construction of the Antelope Valley Auto Center, a master planned retail automotive sales and leasing center planned to accommodate up to 15 auto dealership franchises.
Dealerships within the Auto Center are focused towards interior parking and circulation elements. The design is intended to create a synergism within the center where the success of one dealership promotes the success of another.
It is the intent of the Specific Plan to ensure the creation of a unified environment through the coordinated use of similar elements which give the auto center a single identity. As with an enclosed shopping mall, the overall identity belongs to the mall itself. Individual vendors then establish their own identities within the context of this fabric.
The Auto Center design creates a well -defined route for customers on which to shop with convenient parking area that allow them to feel free to walk in and out of the Dealers’ lots. The “mall” concept utilized the major interior avenues onto which the Dealerships front or face as their “store fronts”. These avenues include “roundabouts” at their intersections.
The four major entrances off Technology Drive, 5th Street West and Avenue Q, one major and three minor, will be identified for visitors by signage. The project incorporates perimeter walls, to provide screening of storage and service areas at the rear of the properties. (SPA 04-01, adopted by City Council January 10, 2005.)
It is intended that no particular “style” or period of architecture be replicated or copied in the design of any individual dealership buildings.
That is, no building should be identifiably Spanish, Mediterranean, Santa Fe, High Tech, etc. Within the constraints outlined in this Specific Plan, each building should be thoughtfully designed to fit within the spirit of the 7 design concept and the environment. The architectural standards for the center are outlined in greater detail in the Architectural Design Manual to be submitted to the Director of Planning Economic and Community Development or his/her designee for his review and approval prior to the issuance of the first building permit for the center.(CDEV 23-0003, adopted by City Council XX,XX, 202X)
2.2 Environmental Setting
The project site is vacant and undeveloped. Only sparse desert scrub covers the site and much of the vegetation has been destroyed by vehicular traffic which traverses the property on unimproved access roads.
The project site gently slopes to the northeast and is topographically flat, with elevations ranging between 2,640 and 2,680 feet.
The properties surrounding the project site are predominantly vacant. The Antelope Valley Freeway (State Route 14) borders the site on the east.
South of Avenue Q, a three-story hotel complex has been constructed and west of the project on the northwest corner of 5th Street West and Avenue Q is an existing union meeting hall. The remaining properties surrounding the project site are vacant at this time.
2.3 Community Setting
The City of Palmdale is one of the fastest growing cities of the State of California. Current population figures estimate the combined population of the Cities of Lancaster and Palmdale and the community of Quartz Hill at 147,367 persons. The 1990 projections estimate the population of these communities at 214,964 persons.
Rapid residential growth in the last six years has triggered an increase in demand for public services. Recognizing the need to generate additional revenues to support increased demand, the City of Palmdale Redevelopment Agency set forth to establish Redevelopment Project areas within which tax increment could be collected to finance infrastructure and encourage upgrades to blighted areas. The Auto Center Specific Plan area is located within Redevelopment Project No. 4 which was adopted under Ordinance 515 on November 10, 1983 by the City of Palmdale Community Redevelopment Agency.
8 2.4 Development Plan
A. Purpose
The primary purpose of the Auto Center Specific Plan is to implement the General Plan through the physical and economic development of 78 acres of commercial property located within Redevelopment Project Area No. 4. It is further the purpose of this development plan to promote Auto Center uses and to encourage the highest and best quality of design and environment within the designated area. (SPA 04- 01, adopted by City Council January 10, 2005.)
B. Plan Design Policies
1. New car showrooms shall be developed under a coordinated design concept orienting facilities towards pedestrian travel areas and parking nodes.
2. Design of signs, landscaping, and lighting shall provide an attractive environment to Auto Center visitors and employees, as well as motorists on the freeway and neighboring properties.
3. Aesthetically pleasing entrances to the development area shall be established through the implementation of design and development standards contained herein.
4. Automobile display and storage facilities shall be enhanced through the use of a coordinated landscape street design.
5. Design theme of buildings, landscaping, and all site improvements shall be integrated to comprise a unified motif throughout the development area.
6. Development characteristics which result in a visual or audible nuisance to the development shall be prohibited.
9 10
7. Ancillary uses to the primary use of the Auto Center shall be integrated into the plan provided that these facilities enhance the design efficiency and feasibility of the primary use.
8. A Dealer’s Association shall be formed and comprised of lot owners and shall encourage cooperation in the development, maintenance, and marketing of services provided within the Auto Center.
9. The project shall be designed so as to create a “sense of place”.
This shall be accomplished through the use of dramatic
landscaping, controlled signage, color, and architectural design.
C. Land Use Designation/Use Zones
All properties located within the Auto Center shall be designated as Specific Plan, consistent with the City of Palmdale Zoning Ordinance.
The development standards contained within this Specific Plan shall be governing standards for development within the Center.
2.5 Circulation Element
A. Purpose
The purpose of the Circulation Element is to define the location and extent of roadway improvements within the Auto Center.
B. Circulation Element Policies
1. Safe and efficient access within the Auto Center for both vehicles and pedestrians is a priority of the Specific Plan.
2. The circulation system shall be designed to be sensitive to surrounding land uses and shall contribute to the overall circulation in the project area.
3. Roadway improvements shall be designed with sufficient right -of- way to support the level of services required by traffic generated from the Auto Center and surrounding areas.
11 4. An integrated landscape concept along the roadway shall be created to not only enhance community design but to provide security for the auto dealerships as well.
5. On-site parking, adequate to accommodate one (1) space per employee at the largest shift, shall be provided for all dealerships.
Employee parking areas may be constructed to be common to more than one dealership, however, in no event are employees allowed to park within the public road right -of-way for the Auto Center. Parking for customers shall be provided within the right -of- way and within the joint use parking nodes.
6. Adequate area within the right -of-way must be provided to allow for the loading and unloading of vehicles. The roadways shall be designed with sufficient radius to accommodate the turning motions of automobile transport vehicles.
7. Employer-sponsored transportation measures, such as ridesharing, carpool/vanpools, and preferential parking should be encouraged whenever possible.
8. Individual dealers shall attempt to provide on -site loading and unloading of vehicles. If a public street is used for such activities, arrangements shall be made to avoid conflicts with customer visitations.
C. Circulation Element Concept
The roadway standard utilized within the Auto Center Specific Plan varies according to location and area served. In all instances however, the standard is reflective of the Los Angeles County Road Department Standards Planning manual.
The City of Palmdale has designated Avenue P -8 as a major highway.
There has been discussion on constructing an off ramp at Avenue P-8.
While these discussions have not progressed beyond the conceptual stage, the Auto Center Specific Plan is sensitive to the future need for right-of-way acquisition. An easement will be reserved for a future off ramp that will be located in the northeast corner of the project. 12 The public improvements for the Auto Center will be constructed under the umbrella of the 10th Street West Assessment District. Specifically, the developer will construct the improvements in advance of the funding of the Assessment District and then sell the improvements back to District upon completion. The procedure is called an Acquisition District and all public improvements (on and off -site) associated with the Auto Center will be constructed in this fashion. It is important to note here that there will be infrastructure improvements constructed as part of the Auto Center that are located outside of Specific Plan boundaries. For purposes of clarity, they are listed below:

17 2.7 Landscape Concept Element
A. Purpose
The purpose is to establish a comprehensive, attractive, and unified landscaped concept for the Antelope Valley Auto Center.
B. Landscape Design Policies
1. The landscaping shall be designed to provide an attractive and unifying appearance for the Auto Center by utilizing plant materials to soften and add color to the hardscape.
2. Landscaping should provide the emphasis at entrances and interior roundabouts.
3. Plant materials and hardscape elements are to create a unified streetscape along the interior streets of the Auto Center as well as provide security for and pedestrian access onto the
automobile display area.
4. Landscaping elements at the community edges are to
positively integrate the Center into the neighborhood.
5. The design of the landscaping must utilize materials indigenous to the local environmental climate and drought resistant wherever possible.
6. Material selections must take into account long term maintenance issues.
7. The landscape concept shall establish minimum performance standards and a listing of acceptable plant materials.
18 C. The Landscape Concept
The landscape concept addresses special treatment for various zones yet provides an overall visual continuity. These zones or areas are the entrances, central drive, roundabouts, pylon sign area, the loop road and streetscape, the perimeter edges and the freeway edge, individual dealer entries, and optional windows. The design reflects a hierarchy and performance requirements of these elements.
The entries are formal and punctuate the arrival.
The central drive (Auto Center Drive) is identified by a palm row in the median terminating at the central round -about. The roundabouts feature the most effective plantings and feature spaces for product display. Rings of palms identify the roundabouts.
The pylon sign area is specially landscaped to provide an interesting base for the sign and add an attractive eye-catcher at the freeway.
The streetscape design at the interior roads should provide low maintenance landscaping with no irrigation problems to the automobile on display, security, and pedestrian access. All this is accomplished by a module of planters.
The perimeter edges provide ten feet of landscaping. The design primarily includes indigenous desert materials.
The individual dealer entries will be designed from a palette of prototypes that fit with the streetscape modules and provide an opportunity for trees and berm.
D. The developer shall install all landscaping and irrigation within the public right -of-way and within five feet (5’) of the dealer parcels, all landscaped Auto Center entries, landscaping in the roundabouts, and pylon sign area. Individual dealers will install landscaping on their parcels except the five feet (5’) referenced above. The five feet (5’) planter area plus the dealers; landscaping improvements will equal 5% of the improved parcel.
The Antelope Valley Auto Center’s Dealer’s Association will maintain all landscaped areas within the Auto Center including public right-of- 19 ways, entries, planters, employee parking areas, and the pylon sign area.
The City of Palmdale Landscape Maintenance District will maintain all landscaping on Avenue P -8 and Avenue Q. The developer will maintain all landscaping along 5th Street West. A separate landscape maintenance district will be formed for this purpose.
2.8 Signage Concept Element
A. Purpose
The purpose of the Signage Concept Element is to establish a Planned Sign Program for all development located within the Auto Center Specific Plan. This Element speaks only to on -site signage requirements.
B. Signage Concept Element Policies
1. It is the intent of the Specific Plan to control the location, size, type, and design of all signage within the Auto Center to ensure a unified appearance to the Center.
2. A Freeway Identification sign will be established for the purpose of attracting customers to the Auto Center. The sign shall be located so as to be seen from both north and south bound traffic and be designed to exhibit the architectural theme of the center.
3. All entrances into the Auto Center will be clearly identified with monument signs. These signage areas shall be appropriately landscaped.
4. Dealer identification signs shall be carefully controlled to convey a uniform sense of identity.
20 C. Signage Concept Element Overview
Signage within the Auto Center is regulated in two areas; signage for the Auto Center itself and signage for the individual dealership. The signage for the Auto Center identification has been designed and illustrated in the development standards section of the Specific Plan.
The Signage program for the individual dealerships is strictly controlled by the Design Standards and is limited to the placement of monument signs at each driveway entrance, one 20 -foot tall pylon sign per dealership, and two primary wall signs per product line.
Dealerships abutting the freeway may place signs on the rear of buildings allowing for greater visibility.
2.9 Grading Concept Element
A. The Grading Concept Element establishes a grading design for the maximum development of the Specific Plan area. The site is topographically flat and there are no landforms that should be preserved to maintain the character of the property. The primary purpose of the grading concept therefore is to elevate the property and to provide for maximum freeway visibility for the Auto Center and to provide for storm drainage.
B. Grading Concept Element Policies
The property shall be graded to enhance the visibility of the Auto Center and commercial properties located west of 5th Street West.

3.4 Landscape Standards
Landscaping is an important element contributing to the identity, unity, and economic success of the Antelope Valley Auto Center. As such, all landscaping for the Center is designed to:
• Promote a pleasant, distinctive, inviting environment.
• Respond to community edges in a positive manner that integrates the project into the surrounding environment.
• Utilize materials indigenous to the local environmental climate.
Thus, the landscaping design concept is focused toward:
• Providing a clean, contemporary visual appearance.
• Defining street uses with specific landscape treatments.
• Coordinating material selections with long term maintenance issue resolutions.
The site work landscape is defined as areas which fall under the Developer’s responsibility.
32 1.
A. Streetscape Zones
The streetscape zones are the primary image structuring element for the Auto Center. The streetscape is designed to reflect a hierarchy of landscape intensity based on the perceived importance of each street edge. This hierarchy will be reflected in the design as well as in the installed cost of improvements. The internal streetscapes are designed to provide dealership security yet viewing for automobile display. This approach reinforces the site plan and helps to give the user a sense of “place” and direction when traveling around and through the site.
The landscaping along public streets is designed to provide a unified appearance along street frontages, to reinforce the street hierarchy, and to provide identities of place, particularly at intersections (roundabouts) and entrances.
33 Project Entries
There are four project entries into the Auto Center which are located along 5th Street West, Technology Drive and Avenue Q. The primary and center most entry will be aligned with the Auto Center Drive and the secondary entry is located to the north. Additional secondary entries are located on Avenue Q and Technology Drive. Each entry is landscaped. The
difference between the two entry types will be in the scale of the monument sign.
34 2. Central Spine
The Central Spine will be the primary landscape identity for the Auto Center. As the westerly extension of Auto Center Drive, the Central Spine will provide a strong landscape focus and connection to the adjacent development. The Central Spine will be made up of three component areas: (1) the Palm Row, (2) the Central Roundabout, and (3) the Pylon landscape area.
a. The Palm Row (Auto Center Drive to Central
Roundabout).
The palm row consists of a landscape median strip of
decorative pavement, a single row of California Fan
Palms (Washingtonia Filifera), and a special sidewalk
treatment on both sides of the street. (See “Auto Mall Loop” section).
35 b. The Roundabouts
The Roundabouts are the heart and visual focus of the
Auto Center. They will include a combination of desert landscaping and decorative pavement for the display of
vehicles along with some enhancements such as public
art, and a circle of Washingtonia Filifera palms in the outer perimeter planter. Lighting will be provided by
decorative light bollards.
Roundabout Design Concept
36 c. The Pylon Landscape Area
The purpose of this area will be to provide a “window” in the Auto Center, as well as a major sign location for the freeway viewer. The pylon sign will be placed on a
circular landscaped mound surrounded by decomposed
granite.
37 3. Auto Center Loop Road
The Auto Center loop road should be thought of as an “interior shopping mall” avenue. There are three primary design
objectives to its design: 1) to provide maximum visibility into the parcels; 2) to provide continuity along the road; and 3) to provide a secure space for the tenants. There will be a ten foot (10’) wide parkway, including a five foot (5’) wide sidewalk, on both sides of the road. To provide security, landscaping, and continuity, a pre -cast 12-inch high, from finish grade, concrete square (5’ x 5’) planter is set ten feet (10’) on center along the loop road frontage in the parkway, including the roundabouts.
38 4. Fifth Street West
The 5th Street West landscape edge will be the “front facade” to the Auto Center. Given the importance of this image and relationship to adjacent developments, the landscape will be a strong feature.
Entry Design Concept
39 5. Technology Drive and Avenue Q
Abutting Technology Drive will be a required 5’6” sidewalk followed by a ten -foot (10’) landscape area and six -foot (6’) screen wall where automobile storage and service is
conducted. The plant materials will be characteristic of the region’s indigenous desert landscape.
Abutting Avenue Q will be a required five -foot (5’) sidewalk followed by an eight -foot (8’) landscape area and six -foot (6’) screen wall characteristic of the region’s indigenous desert landscape. The screen wall shall screen service and storage areas.
40 6. Screen Walls
The screen walls in the Auto Center will be a six -foot (6’) high block wall that will screen the service and storage areas of the properties and provide security. Any screen wall over 100 feet in length will be jogged to provide visual relief. This jog may be curved or straight as illustrated below and will feature some additional landscaping.
41 7. Wall Between Lot Lines
The dealer’s may choose not to construct walls on the lot lines between dealerships. If required, however, solid masonry wall or wrought iron fencing shall be permitted between property lines. No chain link fencing is allowed within the Auto Center.
8. Freeway Landscape Edge
Abutting the westerly freeway boundary will be a screen wall with no formally planted landscape. However, once the wall is constructed on the freeway side, the native soil should be graded naturally with a smooth transition to meet the existing grade.
B. Landscape Requirements for Dealerships
1. Dealership Entry Drive
Each major entry drive will be the identification feature for each dealership. The dealership will have the opportunity of selecting from among the alternatives a typical landscape entry design as shown and outlined below.
2. Dealership Entry Drive Prototypes
42 43
3. General Parcel Landscaping
Landscaping shall be provided in areas that will enhance, accentuate, and screen those areas deemed appropriate by the designer.
a. Landscape Screening
Service areas shall be screened with landscape material.
b. Building Landscaping
Landscaping shall be located near high public visibility areas. For continuity of the Auto Center, all plants shall be selected from the designated plant list provided in
these guidelines.
C. Plant Materials
1. All lots and adjacent street frontage shall be landscaped to meet the landscape goals of the Antelope Valley Auto Center.
Plant materials shall conform to the following list of acceptable materials.
It is the intent of the guidelines to provide flexibility and diversity in plant selection, yet maintain a limited inventory to give greater unity to the development. The plants have been selected for their appropriateness to the climate conditions and with concern for maintenance.
2. Trees on individual lots shall utilize trees other than those trees specified as “street” trees as described in the Streetscape Zone. Use of other trees shall help to clarify the thematic streetscape design.
3. Any trees used in the project shall be a 5-gallon size minimum.
Palms shall be planted as 15 -foot minimum size. All shrubs shall be a 1 -gallon size minimum. Use of flowering horizontal shrubs in rock mulch is encouraged due to the lack of long - term success of herbaceous groundcovers due to the climatic setting of the Antelope Valley area. Any shrub beds shall be 44 mulched with “Walk -on Bark” to minimize evaporation, control weeds, and reduce windblown dust. All ground cover areas shall be separated from shrub areas with 6’ x 6’ concrete curbing.

3.6 Signage Standards (SPA 04-01, adopted by City Council January 10, 2005.)
3.6.1 Introduction
These signage standards have been developed for the Antelope Valley Auto Center and are part of the overall Specific Plan established for the project. The purpose of this Planned Sign Program is to provide a guide for the automobile dealers in the selection of placement of their signage.
It is the intent to provide guidelines for a reasonable number and size of signs required for proper conduct of business, and to control the design and placement of all signage. It is also the intent that artistic flexibility be allowed, while maintaining continuity and appropriate scale to the center as a whole. The information contained in this program as adopted by the City of Palmdale established mandatory criteria to which each sign must conform. Each property owner must submit to the City of Palmdale all documents required for signage approval, in addition to all documents required for site plan review.
53 These standards shall apply to all auto dealerships and any other activity within the Antelope Valley Auto Center boundaries.

City Council Staff Report
DATE: FEBRUARY 7, 2024
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: ECONOMIC AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
PLANNING DIVISION
DISTRICT: ALL
SUBJECT: INTRODUCE AND ADOPT ORDINANCE NO. 1639; APPROVING GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT 23-0006, ZON E ORDINANCE
AMENDMENT 23-0004 AND ZONE CHANGE 23-0005 AND FINDING
THAT THE PROJECT IS CONSISTENT WITH PROGRAM
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT 22 -002 PREPARED AND
CERTIFIED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CITY’S GENERAL PLAN
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council:
1. Receive public testimony regarding proposed Ordinance No. 1639;
2. Adopt Ordinance No. 1639 approving General Plan Amendment (GPA) 23-0006, Zone Ordinance Amendment (ZOA) 23-0004, and Zone Change (ZC) 23-0005; and,
3. Find that the project is consistent with P rogram Environmental Impact Report (PEIR) 22-002 prepared and certified in conjunction with the City’s General Plan (Palmdale 2045).
BACKGROUND
Project Description: The proposed project is a request to amend the Noise Element of the General Plan, the Development Standards for Mixed -Use zones, the General Plan Land Use map, and the Zoning map to address inconsistencies and clarify review procedures.
On September 21, 2022, Palmdale 2045 was adopted by the City Council and replaced the previously adopted General Plan (1993). State law requires that the regulations governing the use and development of lands within the municipal limits of a city be consistent with the adopted General Plan for that city. Ordinance No. 1603 was adopted by the City Council on March 15, 2023, which amended Title 17 of the Palmdale Municipal Code (PMC) to implement the vision of Palmdale 2045 as well as support new land use patterns and future development.
Report to Mayor and City Council
Re: GPA 23-0006, ZOA 23-0004, and ZC 23-0005
February 7, 2024
Ordinance Nos. 1613 and 1614 were adopted by the City Council on August 16, 2023, which included minor amendments to the PMC necessary to address inconsistencies, clarify review procedures, and section references, as well as update the associated Zoning Map.
Ordinance No. 1627 was adopted on December 6, 2023, to further clarify review procedures within Title 17 related to measuring distance requirements and uses within the Mixed-Use, Public Facility, and Industrial zones. Since then, City staff has identified minor amendments necessary to address inconsistencies further and clarify review procedures.
On January 11, 2024, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution No. PC-2024-003, recommending City Council approval of the proposed project.
DISCUSSION
City staff met with representatives from Air Force Plant 42 in December 2023 to discuss Noise Element Goal N-3.5, which states that an Aviation Easement would be required through Conditions of Approval for any properties within the low altitude overflight area of Plant 42 seeking a land use action from the City. It was agreed that Goal N-3.5 could be removed because this requirement was superseded by the adoption of the Air Installation Compatible Use Zone (AICUZ) Air Force Plant 42 Plan adopted in 2011 to address land use concerns and development standards that could potentially impact Plant 42. ZOA 23-0004 will correct the Development Standards for Mixed-Use zones related to lot design, density, and parking.
In addition, the amendment to the General Plan Land Use map and Zoning map will correct the General Plan Land Use and Zone for a parcel designated Neighborhood Commercial that should be designated as Utilities. The proposed amendments are necessary to clarify review procedures and inconsistencies in a continued effort to streamline processes and provide flexibility.
FISCAL IMPACT
$0; there is no fiscal impact associated with this action.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT 22-002 PREPARED AND
CERTIFIED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CITY’S GENERAL PLAN
A. INTENT OF THE CITY COUNCIL:
1. The City of Palmdale (City) has filed an application that applies to the City and the City’s sphere of influence, requesting approval of General Plan Amendment (GPA) 23-0006, Zone Ordinance Amendment (ZOA) 23-0004, and Zone Change (ZC) 23-0005, to address inconsistencies, as indicated in Exhibits A, B, and C (hereinafter referred to as “Application”);
2. State law requires that the regulations governing the use and development of lands within the municipal limits of a city be consistent with the adopted General Plan for that city. On September 21, 2022, the City Council adopted a comprehensive update to the General Plan (Palmdale 2045), which required a comprehensive update to Title 17 of the Palmdale Municipal Code (PMC);
3. On March 15, 2023, the City Council of the City of Palmdale adopted Ordinance No. 1603 a comprehensive Zoning Code and Map update;
4. On August 16, 2023, the City Council of the City of Palmdale adopted Ordinance No. 1613 and 1614 which identified minor amendments to the PMC necessary to address inconsistencies, clarify review procedures, correct typographical errors and section references, as well as update the associated Zoning Map;
5. On December 6, 2023, the City Council of the City of Palmdale adopted Ordinance No. 1627 which identified minor amendments to Title 17 necessary to address inconsistencies and clarify review procedures;
6. On January 11, 2024, the Planning Commission of the City of Palmdale conducted a duly noticed public hearing on GPA 23-0006, ZOA 23-0004 and ZC 23-0005, and concluded said hearing on that date; and, Ordinance No. 1639
7. On February 7, 2024, the City Council of the City of Palmdale conducted a duly noticed public hearing on GPA 23-0006, ZOA 23-0004, and ZC 23-0005 and concluded said hearing on that date. Evidence, both written and oral, was duly presented and considered by the City Council at the aforesaid public hearing, including but not limited to, the staff report dated February 7, 2024.
B. ORDINANCE
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALMDALE DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The City Council hereby specifically finds that all of the facts set forth in the Recitals, Part A of this Ordinance, are true and correct.
SECTION 2 . The City Council hereby finds as follows with respect to the environmental documentation:
(a) Program Environmental Impact Report (PEIR) 22-002 (State Clearinghouse # 2021060494) was prepared and certified by the City Council (Resolution No.
CC 2022-096) on September 21, 2022, for approval of the City’s General Plan (Palmdale 2045). As part of the environmental analysis, PEIR 22-002 also considered the adoption and implementation of the Comprehensive Zoning Code and Map update. Staff review has determined that a subsequent or supplemental PEIR as described in California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Sections 15162, 15163, or 15164, is not required because the proposed GPA, ZOA, and ZC modifies language in the recently adopted General Plan and Title 17 of the PMC. The amendments also include modifications to the Land Use map and the Zoning map to address inconsistencies and would not require major revisions of the PEIR, there are no significant changes in circumstances and there is no new information of substantial importance that will involve new significant environmental effects or increase the severity of previously identified significant effects. As such, staff concluded that the request is consistent with the previous PEIR in accordance with CEQA Guidelines and has determined that no additional environmental analysis is required.
(b) The custodian of records for the environmental document, and all other materials which constitute the record of proceedings upon which the City Council’s decision is based, is the Planning Manager of the City of Palmdale. These documents are available for public review in the Planning Division of the City of Palmdale located at 38250 Sierra Highway, Palmdale, California 93550, telephone (661) 267-5200.
In addition, the Final PEIR is available at:
https://palmdale2045gp.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/PalmdaleGP_FinalEIR AppendicesResponsetoCommentsFindingofFactandStatementofOverridingConsi derations.pdf.
Ordinance No. 1639
SECTION 3. Based upon substantial evidence presented to the City Council during the February 7, 2024, public hearing, including public testimony and written and oral staff reports, the City Council specifically finds as follows:
(a) The proposed change in land use and zone is consistent with State law. (GPA) (ZOA)
(b) The proposed Zone Change will not have a substantial adverse effect on surrounding properties or the community in general. (ZC) (c) The proposed ZOA and GPA are reasonable and beneficial and conform with the goals, objectives, and policies of the General Plan. (ZOA) (GPA) (d) The proposed ZOA is necessary to implement the General Plan and to provide public safety, convenience, and/or general welfare. (ZOA) City staff met with representatives from Air Force Plant 42 in December 2023 to discuss Noise Element Goal N-3.5, which states that an Aviation Easement would be required through Conditions of Approval for any properties within the low altitude overflight area of Plant 42 seeking a land use action from the City. It was agreed that Goal N-3.5 could be removed because this requirement was superseded by the adoption of the Air Installation Compatible Use Zone (AICUZ) Air Force Plant 42 Plan adopted in 2011 to address land use concerns and development standards that could potentially impact Plant 42.
The amendment to the General Plan Land Use map and Zoning map will correct the General Plan Land Use and zone for a parcel designated for Neighborhood Commercial that should be designated as Utilities.
These modifications will ensure consistency with the goals, policies, and objectives of the City’s General Plan and PMC because the Application will address necessary amendments to clarify review procedures and inconsistencies in a continued effort to streamline processes and provide flexibility.
SECTION 4. Based on the findings and conclusions set forth in the above Sections, and based on all other evidence in the record, the City Council hereby approved GPA 23-0006, ZOA 23-0004, and ZC 23-0005 amending the General Plan, Zoning Ordinance, GP Land Use Map, and Zoning map as shown in Exhibit A, B, and C to this Ordinance and find that the request is exempt from environmental review.
Ordinance No. 1639
SECTION 5 . Severability. If any section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase in this Ordinance or any part thereof is for any reason held to be unconstitutional or invalid or ineffective by any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity or effectiveness of the remaining portions of this Ordinance or any part thereof. The City Council hereby declares that it would have passed each section, subsection, subdivision, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase thereof irrespective of the fact that any one (1) or more subsections, subdivisions, paragraphs, sentences, clauses or phrases be declared unconstitutional, or invalid, or ineffective, provided the basic purposes of this Ordinance and the benefits to the City and the public are not substantially impaired.
SECTION 6. All legal prerequisites and pre-conditions to introducing, enacting, and adopting this Ordinance have occurred as required by law and policy.
Ordinance No. 1639
SECTION 7. The City Clerk shall certify the adoption of this ordinance and shall cause this ordinance to be published or posted as required by law.
