The lot(s) you inquired about is/are in the A-2 (Heavy Agriculture) zone. Here is a link to the FAQs from our website:Residential and Agricultural FAQ | DRP . Basically, this is like a R-1 zone, in that it allows one single-family residence (SFR) per lot. An SFR can be a mobile home, modular, manufactured home, or traditional build but all must have permits.

In order to live on the lot, you must go through the entire building permit process for your SFR and have the permits for it before placing or building it on the lot. Temporary housing such as trailers, unpermitted mobile homes, and RVs are not permitted.

There are a few issues that you may want to know about this lot:

The lot requires an Unconditional Certificate of Compliance (COC) before you can build. More information about COCs can be found at this link: Certificate of Compliance FAQ | DRP

The lot may have joshua trees on it. You should not remove any joshua trees (even if they appear dead) or disturb the plants or ground near the joshua trees. And when you are ready to get permits for a home, please design the project so that it avoids impacting joshua trees or the area around them. Another option is to apply to the State for an incidental take permit for any Joshuas you must disturb. You can find more information, and Regional Office contacts to apply for a take permit, at this link: Incidental Take Permits

The lot is within a Significant Ecological Area (SEA). You should not remove any plants (even if they appear dead) or alter the land in any way until you have permits to do so. Within an SEA, there are often special permits required before you can do anything on the land. I am including a link to our website with helpful information about SEAs: Significant Ecological Areas (SEAs) FAQ | DRP

utilities serving the lot*.

For water, youd need a water company connection/meter, or drill a well for your SFR (trucked-in water is not allowed).

For electricity, please contact Southern California Edison (SCE) to see if electrical power would be available to the lot. In most cases, the County does not allow a SFR to be entirely off the grid from SCE. (i.e.: Even if you install wind or solar power, you still need an SCE connection).
