Palmdale Municipal Code · 2026-07 edition · updated 2026-09-27 · Palmdale

§ 17.85.010. Utilities, service areas, and building equipment.

  • (A) Undergrounding of Utilities.

    • (1) All new utility lines 50 kV and less, utility boxes, and utility equipment within a project and along adjacent regional and crosstown streets shall be placed underground pursuant to PMC Chapter 12.04 (Underground Utilities) unless otherwise prohibited by the utility provider (e.g., water backflow prevention device that must be placed above ground) or the City Engineer grants an exemption following his/her/their determination that such undergrounding is not practicable.

    • (2) Exception.

      • (a) In industrial zones, and for public/institutional development consistent with industrial zones, the Review Authority may reduce, waive, or defer requirements for utility line undergrounding and utility equipment screening, pursuant to PMC Chapter 12.04 (Underground Utilities) for portions of buildings not visible from regional and crosstown streets, and less intensive zones; and provided, that such action is determined to have no adverse effects. Additionally, for infill industrial projects in substantially developed industrial zones where utility lines have not been placed underground within the vicinity of the site, the City Engineer may defer utility line undergrounding requirements until such time as lines in the general area are undergrounded.

      • (b) In industrial zones, and for public/institutional development consistent with industrial zones, the requirement for undergrounding of utility lines may be waived for remodeling of existing structures where the cost of remodeling is less than 50 percent of the replacement cost of the existing structure as determined for building permits.

  • (B) Location of Service Areas, Storage, Utilities, and Equipment. All aboveground utilities and equipment (e.g., electric and gas meters, fire sprinkler valves, irrigation backflow prevention devices, etc.), service areas, and storage areas shall be integrated into building and landscape design and located to minimize impact on the pedestrian experience and neighboring properties by following the standards below:

    • (1) Utilities and equipment, service, storage, and nonpassenger loading areas shall be located inside of buildings or on nonprimary street frontages, alleys, parking areas, and/or at the rear or side of buildings and shall be fully screened from view per Subsection (C) of this Section (Service, Storage, Utility, and Equipment Screening).

    • (2) Utilities and equipment, service, storage, and nonpassenger loading areas shall not be located within setback areas, along midblock pedestrian connections, within the public right-of-way, and/or within 25 feet of a street corner.

    • (3) Except as otherwise required for fire safety as determined by the Director, roof ladders shall only be installed inside the associated building.

    • (3) Roll-up and service doors shall be painted to blend in with the main building colors and shall not face regional and crosstown streets. Where site constraints make the placement of these doors away from regional and crosstown streets infeasible, then doors shall be designed with glass or other architectural features to minimize visual impacts from the street, subject to approval by the Review Authority.

    • (4) Long-term shopping cart storage areas shall be completely screened. If screen walls are used, they shall be of sufficient height and length to screen all carts, and shall be made of a primary exterior finish material used on the main building, architectural grade wood or masonry, metal, or landscape screening that forms an opaque barrier when planted.

    • (5) All vents, flashing, electrical conduits, etc., shall be painted to match the color of the adjacent surface.

    • (6) The installation of gutters and downspouts on the exterior surface of new nonresidential buildings shall be prohibited.

  • (D) Location and Screening of Rooftop Equipment. Rooftop elements including roof access, mechanical equipment, and other features needed for the function of the building shall be located to minimize visual impact by meeting the following requirements. Mechanical equipment less than two feet in height, solar panels, wind generators, or green roof features shall be exempt from these requirements.

    • (1) Mechanical equipment shall be set back a minimum of 10 feet from the roof edge or screened with a parapet wall.

    • (2) Rooftop equipment shall be screened through the use of parapet walls, towers, or other architectural features such that it is not visible from any point at or below the

§ 17.85.020. Refuse and recycling.

  • (A) Applicability. Any project for which an application for a building permit is submitted after the effective date of this Title shall include adequate, accessible areas for collecting and loading trash, recyclable materials, organic waste, and other refuse as required per State law. These regulations apply to refuse and recycling areas not accessible to the public, and which are used exclusively by the tenants/owners of the development site. The provisions of this Section apply to all development except as follows.

    • (1) Single-family or multifamily residential development projects that do not necessitate communal or shared refuse and recycling areas/containers. In such cases, no enclosure structure shall be required; however, individual trash, recycling, and green waste containers shall be stored in such a manner that containers are not visible or screened from public view from the front of the property. Containers may be placed in public view for purposes of collection.

(B) General Requirements.

  • (1) Trash, recycling, and organic waste containers and collection areas shall be adequate in capacity, number, and distribution to accommodate all waste generation of the site. An area for the storage of refuse/recycling shall be provided with minimum clear dimensions pursuant to Figure 17.85.020-1 (Refuse and Recycling Area Layout and Minimum Dimensions) for all multifamily residential uses, and for all nonresidential uses with a gross floor area of less than 25,000 square feet. At minimum, one such area shall be required. For larger projects, additional space(s) may be required as determined by the local waste management service provider based on the type of use, the size of the refuse area proposed, and the frequency of refuse collection. Enclosure size and configuration may be determined during development review for users with specialized requirements. Where practical, enclosures shall be sized to contain transformer boxes or other utility equipment which also requires screening.
