A 20-year plan for 435 acres of mostly vacant land in the center of Lancaster, allowing up to 4,246 homes, 1.2 million square feet of commercial space, a town center, parks, a possible aquatic center and hospital expansion site. Backers say it brings much-needed family housing and safer streets; critics worry about air quality, noise, and loss of open desert with Joshua trees.
