The 2019 Pearblossom Concept Draft
The Pearblossom Concept Draft was developed in 2019 to articulate and clarify the intention of the community to establish a CSD. Together with feedback gathered from the Pearblossom CSD Committee working group, which met regularly from November 2021 to May 2022, the concept draft helped inform the Pearblossom CSD Draft which is now available for public comment. Once approved by the Board of Supervisors, the Pearblossom CSD Draft will become an ordinance within the Los Angeles County Zoning Code.
A list of all Antelope Valley CSD documents are available on the Documents and Reports page.
Background
The community of Pearblossom is located in the southeast Antelope Valley along Pearblossom Highway between Littlerock and Llano. Some portions of the community are developed with a wide range of uses and a distinctly rural character, while other portions are largely undeveloped, generally not served by existing infrastructure, and subject to safety hazards, such as Seismic Zones and Flood Zones.
A more detailed description of the Pearblossom community can be found in the Community-Specific Land Use Concepts chapter of the Antelope Valley Area Plan.
