15 E Ave I, Lancaster, CA 93535

Four contiguous parcels totaling 8.69 acres with frontage along 15th St E from Avenue I to Kettering Street. The site offers a compelling opportunity for re-entitlement and tract development, supported by a split General Plan designation: approximately 4.18 acres of Medium Density Residential (MDR: 6.615 du/ac) and 4.51 acres of Urban Residential (UR: 2.16.5 du/ac), allowing flexibility in product type, lot configuration, and overall yield.

A previously approved Tentative Tract Map (TTM) for 38 single-family R-7000 lots establishes a strong entitlement baseline. While the map has expired following the City's upgrade to higher-density MDR zoning, it provides significant carry-forward value, including prior engineering studies, site planning, and a detailed record of municipal conditions of approval. This groundwork can materially reduce entitlement risk, inform updated yield scenarios, and accelerate the resubmittal process.

Key Entitlement & Development Considerations:

CEQA Strategy: Existing technical studies and prior approvals may enable a streamlined environmental pathway (e.g., an addendum or focused update), subject to jurisdictional review.

Re-Entitlement Efficiency: Documented City conditions and prior review cycles provide clarity on agency expectations, reducing iteration risk during resubmittal.

Engineering & Off-Site Improvements: Preliminary grading, drainage, and circulation work already identified; prior conditions outline likely frontage, access, and infrastructure obligations.

Utilities: Prior tract design informs utility alignments and connection points, aiding early-stage capacity and cost assessments.

Density Optimization: MDR designation supports a higher unit yield than the prior 38-lot plan, allowing refinement of lot mix, product type, and affordability integration.

Phasing Flexibility: Parcel configuration and linear frontage create optionality for phased map filings and staged construction.
