Palmdale Municipal Code Ch. 17.32 Single-Family Residential Zones

(A) Single-Family Residential 1 (SFR 1). This zone is intended for detached single-family dwellings in a suburban/semirural environment, at a maximum of two dwelling units per acre. The SFR 1 zone is appropriate to outlying valley areas where large lot subdivisions are desired. Parcel sizes are around 20,000 square feet. These areas are mostly along the edges of developed suburban residential areas, in lower hillside areas where inclines are present, but topography lacks significant slope constraints. This zone implements the Single-Family Residential 1 General Plan land use designation.

(B) Single-Family Residential 2 (SFR 2). This zone is intended for detached single-family dwellings in a suburban environment, at a maximum of 4.4 dwelling units per acre. The SFR 2 zone is intended for the areas between the valley floor and steeper hillside areas (having less than 10 percent slope). Parcel sizes range from 10,000 to 15,000 square feet. This zone is located mostly along the edges of developed suburban residential areas. This zone implements the Single-Family Residential 2 General Plan land use designation.

(C) Single-Family Residential 3 (SFR 3). This zone is intended for detached single-family subdivisions containing the City's standard 7,000 square foot minimum lot size (at a maximum of six dwelling units per acre). The SFR 3 zone is appropriate in areas with minimal topography, and these places serve as a lower intensity, family-living environment but are still well connected to surrounding neighborhoods and retail areas. These areas constitute most of the City's developed residential neighborhoods. This zone implements the Single-Family Residential 3 General Plan land use designation.
