Victorville R-1 residential caps structures at 35 feet or 2 stories. Commercial zones allow 45-60 feet. SCLA airport proximity triggers FAA Part 77 notification requirements for tall structures.
Victorville Municipal Code Title 17 sets maximum building heights by zone. Single-family residential (R-1) typically caps principal structures at 35 feet or 2 stories, whichever is less. Accessory structures are limited to 12-15 feet. R-2 and R-3 multi-family zones allow up to 35-45 feet. Commercial and industrial zones permit 45-60 feet, with height bonuses sometimes available. Critically, due to proximity of Southern California Logistics Airport (SCLA/VCV), any structure over 200 feet AGL or within specified distances from runways triggers FAA Form 7460-1 Notice of Proposed Construction under 14 CFR Part 77. The airport influence zone and overflight easement may further restrict heights near the airfield. Flagpoles, antennas, and solar arrays have specific rules. Measurement is typically from lowest adjacent grade to highest point of roof.
