Fox Field Specific Plan
The City of Lancaster adopted the Fox Field Industrial Corridor Specific Plan in 1996, establishing zoning and development standards for the area surrounding the General William J. Fox Airfield in northwestern Lancaster.
The Fox Field Specific Plan aims to encourage appropriate development while protecting the Airfield from incompatible land uses. As a result, residential land uses are prohibited in an approximately one-mile buffer around the Airfield. Allowable land uses for this area include office, research and development, commercial, light industrial, manufacturing/distribution, mixed-use business park, commercial recreation (including golf courses), and open space.
The area surrounding the General William J. Fox Airfield is additionally subject to requirements and development standards outlined in the General William J. Fox Airfield Land Use Compatibility Plan, which was adopted by the Los Angeles County Airport Land Use Commission (ALUC) in 2004. Please contact the ALUC to confirm the requirements outlined in the Compatibility Plan.
