ROSAMOND — The latest in a series of large residential developments
in the Rosamond area received preliminary approval from county supervisors
Tuesday.
Located at the southwest corner of Rosamond Blvd. and 40th Street West,
the 142-acre development includes plans for a shopping center with a grocery
store and other retail outlets on 17.78-acres.
Sherry DeLano, general manager of the Rosamond Community Services District,
said the district will provide water and sewer service to the development.
A “will serve” letter from the district specifies that an additional water
source will be required to provide sufficient water for the project.
DeLano said RCSD is attempting to purchase land for additional wells.
Access to the property will be provided from Rosamond Blvd., 40th and
45th Streets West, and Astoria Ave.
Restrictions
County planners are requiring that structures in the development not
exceed 35-feet to not interfere with operations at the nearby Rosamond
Airport.
Although the property has been used for farming in the past, it is
currently fallow. Nearby development includes a mobile home park, and a
residential subdivision.
The project is the latest in a growing number of residential developments
planned for the Rosamond area. DeLano said the district is working with
another developer on a 100-home project near 35th St. West and Orange.
