LOS ANGELES—The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors has voted 4-1 to approve a new Antelope Valley Area Plan. The board's vote of approval, which was held last week, includes zoning changes that will allow and guide future development and conservation of the 250,000 acres in the northern most part of Los Angeles County. The area has, until now, been an unincorporated part of the county.
The plan includes three economic opportunity areas. Within one of those economic areas, Tejon Ranch Co., a local developer known for the Outlets at Tejon, has a proposed master planned community called Centennial. It is located on Highway 138. Tejon Ranch Co. did not respond to a request for a comment on the adoption of the new area plan or on its proposed development; however, according to the company's website, the community will offer all housing types in a spectrum of prices. The community will be sustainable with water and energy conservation and open spaces that promote walking and biking over car usage. The community will also include retail, office and other commercial options.
The plan, known as Town & Country, was last modified in 1986. The new plan will better reflect new laws, population and guidelines. However, there was some concern among citizens that the new boundaries would negatively impact homeowners already living in the area. The current plan was adopted in November of last year, and as of the vote last week, will go into effect this month.
