Residential Development Opportunity | 8.69 Acres | Density Upside for approximately 90 residential units

Four contiguous, multi-residential-zoned parcels totaling 8.69 acres, with frontage along 15th Street East, Avenue I, and Kettering Street in Lancaster, California, are offered at a discounted bundled price. The property presents a compelling opportunity for residential development, re-entitlement, and potential tract development with a stated maximum yield of up to 92 residential dwelling units.

The overall site benefits from a split General Plan designation that provides flexibility in product type, lot configuration, and overall development yield. Approximately 1.92 acres (Assessor Parcel Numbers: 3147-001-049 & 3147-001-050) and an additional 2.26 acres (Assessor Parcel Number: 3147-001-044) are designated Medium Density Residential (MDR), permitting up to 15 dwelling units per acre, while approximately 4.51 acres (Assessor Parcel Number: 3147-001-043) are designated Urban Residential (UR), allowing for up to 6.5 dwelling units per acre.

This is a strategic opportunity for builders, developers, and investors seeking residential land with multiple density designations, frontage, and upside potential.

Note: Although it has expired, a previously approved Tentative Tract Map (TTM) for 38 R-7000 single-family lots, originally approved in 2005, establishes a strong entitlement baseline. After it expired, the City upgraded the front 6.5 acres to higher densities, including a zoning change from UR to MDR. The TTM still provides significant carry-forward value, including prior engineering studies, site planning, and a detailed record of municipal conditions of approval. A previously approved Tentative Tract Map (TTM) for 38 single-family 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.
Planning & Entitlement Advantages:
CEQA Positioning: Prior approvals and studies may support streamlined environmental review, with the potential for addendum or focused analysis rather than a full EIR, subject to City determination.
Known Development Standards: Existing conditions of approval offer clarity on grading, drainage, circulation, and off-site improvement requirements--reducing uncertainty during entitlement.
Utility & Infrastructure Context: Prior tract work provides insight into utility access points, capacity considerations, and likely off-site improvement obligations.
Improved Density Potential: Updated MDR zoning creates an opportunity to increase unit count beyond the prior 38-lot configuration while integrating required affordable housing components.
Phasing Potential: Parcel configuration and frontage may allow for phased development and flexible absorption strategies.
Well-suited for builders and developers seeking a project with prior agency alignment, documented site constraints, and the ability to leverage existing due diligence to shorten entitlement timelines and move more efficiently toward final map approval and construction.

Entitlement-Positioned Residential Development – 8.69 Acres with Density Upside ---



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: 6.6–15 du/ac) and 4.51 acres of Urban Residential (UR: 2.1–6.5 du/ac)—allowing flexibility in product type, lot configuration, and overall yield.
