GATED PROJECT OK'D FOR WEST AVENUE I.

LANCASTER - City planners approved a 425-home gated community gat·ed community

 proposed on 120 acres of what is now farmland in west Lancaster.

Because the project would be about four miles beyond the city's most outlying housing tract, planners told Centrum centrum /cen·trum/ (sen´trum) pl. cen´tra   [L.]

``Our primary concern is making sure the city is protected and the public health and safety is not compromised, in the sense of putting an urban-style development that is out there a substantial distance from services, fire services

, is proposed for both sides of Avenue I east of 90th Street West. Lots would range from 7,000 square feet to more than 14,000 square feet, with most being less than 8,000 square feet.

The subject of an environmental impact report that noted the loss of farmland if the homes are built, the proposal was approved 5-0 at a meeting Monday night of the city Planning city planning, process of planning for the improvement of urban centers in order to provide healthy and safe living conditions, efficient transport and communication, adequate public facilities, and aesthetic surroundings.  Commission.

Centrum Investment officials could not be reached for comment.

The community is within a mile of the 2,700-home Del Sur Ranch project, which was approved by the city in the early 1990s but stalled after the Antelope Valley This article is about the Los Angeles County region. For the census-designated place in Wyoming, see Antelope Valley-Crestview, Wyoming.

If those developments are built now that the real estate market has revived, city officials said Centrum Investment's project would be a logical part of the overall growth pattern. Del Sur Ranch is planned to contain schools, stores, parks and a fire station.

But because the project is so far from the city's existing urban core, planning staffers recommended imposing several conditions on its development.

Those include requiring fire sprinklers inside homes, unless Los Angeles Los Angeles (lôs ăn`jələs, lŏs, ăn`jəlēz'), city (1990 pop. 3,485,398), seat of Los Angeles co., S Calif.; inc. 1850.  County Fire Station officials certify that firefighters could reach the area in five minutes. The present response time is 14 minutes, city officials said.

The problem would be resolved if the Del Sur Ranch fire station is built, officials said.

Other conditions include requiring the developers to rebuild potholed Avenue I between 35th Street West and 50th Street West. The company would be repaid in part for the expense as other developments are built whose residents would use the road.

The developer would also be required to install three miles of water lines and sewer lines from the existing lines at 60th Street West and Avenue I.
