During the City Council Regular Meeting on June 3, 2025, the Victorville City Council addressed key zoning issues, particularly concerning the district map and land use designations. A notable discussion arose regarding the presence of an LMAUD (Land Management Area Use District) behind the Stater Brothers shopping center, which raised questions about its appropriateness and historical context.
Council members examined the district map, specifically the Southwest quadrant, where concerns were voiced about the LMAUD designation located behind the grocery store. One council member expressed confusion over the designation, noting that the area appeared to be suffering from poor land management. The discussion highlighted the potential historical development sequence, suggesting that residential areas may have been established before the commercial center, which could explain the current zoning layout.
Following the discussion, the council moved to open a public hearing, but no public comments were made. The council then proceeded to vote on the staff's recommendations regarding the zoning issues. The motion to approve points 3 through 5 of the staff's agenda was passed unanimously, with one council member absent.
This decision marks a significant step in addressing land use concerns in Victorville, aiming to clarify zoning designations and improve the management of affected areas. The council's actions reflect a commitment to ensuring that land use aligns with community needs and historical context, paving the way for future developments and improvements in the city.
