Palmdale Zoning Code · 2026-06 edition · updated 2026-07-06 · Palmdale
§ 17.42.010. Intent – Description. ¶
This zone is intended to accommodate commercial/retail and service uses attracting consumers from a regional market area. RC areas provide access to long-term goods and services (in contrast to convenience goods) such as big box retail, the regional mall, and film uses within the Los Angeles County secondary zone. Limited multifamily residential uses are allowed with a comprehensive development plan on the Antelope Valley Mall site and the property south of Palmdale Boulevard between SR-14 and Division Street. The uses allowed in this designation will provide a unique amenity to all residents of Palmdale and an important revenue source for the City. Areas with the RC designation are situated near State Route 14 and Rancho Vista Boulevard, at Pearblossom Highway and Fort Tejon, at Avenue R and 47th Street East, and others. RC developments typically occupy many acres, although individual businesses may be on smaller parcels. This zone implements the Regional Commercial General Plan land use designation.
