STAFF REPORT
February 21, 2024
File Number 0830-20
SUBJECT
PL24-0042 – AUTHORIZATION TO PROCESS AN AMENDMENT TO THE GENERAL PLAN LAND USE AND
COMMUNITY FORM CHAPTER TO MODIFY THE RESIDENTIAL AREA OVERLAY OF THE IMPERIAL OAKES CORPORATE CENTER (SPECIFIC PLANNING AREA #13)
DEPARTMENT
Development Services, Planning Division
RECOMMENDATION
Request the City Council authorize the intake and processing of an amendment to the General Plan Land Use and Community Form Chapter to allow for an expansion of the residential area overlay and allow for permitted or conditionally permitted uses as permitted by the underlying residential zoning without requiring the processing of a S pecific Plan, for properties within the Imperial Oakes Corporate Center Specific Planning Area 13 (“SPA 13”).
Staff Recommendation: Approval (Development Services Department: Christopher McKinney, Interim Director of Development Services)
Presenter: Ivan Flores, Senior Planner
ESSENTIAL SERVICE – Yes, Land Use/Development
COUNCIL PRIORITY – Increase Retention and Attraction of People and Businesses to Escondido
FISCAL ANALYSIS
For the purposes of this agenda item, the City Council will only be providing d irection to staff on the processing of a General Plan Amendment (“GPA”). Authorization to process the amendment application would have no direct fiscal impacts. The privately -initiated amendment application would be processed using existing staff resources with costs to be paid by the project proponent, applicant(s), and/or the future developer of the project site.
PREVIOUS ACTION
On October, 25, 2023, City Council authorized staff to process an amendment to the General Plan Land Use and Community Form Chapter requesting an expansion of the residential area overlay of the Imperial Oakes Corporate Center to four parcels located south of Rod McLeod Park (Figure 1). 23 Item5.
Figure 1 – Previous GPA Authorization Request
Existing Proposed
BACKGROUND
The applicant, Louie Martinez, has submitted a request to amend the guiding principles of SPA 13 through text and as sociated figure modifications in the General Plan Land Use and Community Form Chapter.
Specifically, the applicant requests to expand the residential area overlay of the Imperial Oakes Specific Planning Area (Figure 2) to an area north of Rod McLeod Park. The applicant also requests to modify the “SPA 13 Guiding Principles” text to allow for permitted and conditionally permitted uses allowed by the underlying residential zoning district without requiring adoption of a Specific Plan. The intent of this is to allow the applicant to expand their existing facilities, at a future date, without requiring adoption of a Specific Plan. Any future development of this area would be subject to review by the appropriate decision- making body in accordance with Article 61 (Administration and Enforcement) of the Escondido Zoning Code.
24 Item5.
Figure 2 – Current GPA Authorization request
Existing Proposed
Currently, the City does not have an adopted specific plan document for the SPA 13 area. Historically, the planning division would pursue development of a specific plan through direction from the City Council. In the event no such direction occurs, a private entity may apply to develop such a document in conjunction with the City through the develop ment review process. Neither of these actions have occurred and no adopted specific plan exists for SPA 13. Whether municipally or privately led, the development of a specific plan document is a resource intensive process, typically spanning multiple years . In 2020, a different applicant submitted for creation of a specific plan within a portion of the SPA 13 area; however, this request was subsequently withdrawn.
The applicant intends to submit for only a General Plan Amendment. The applicant does not propose any specific development as a part of their request for the General Plan Amendment.
As stated above, the City Council has authorized the processing of a General Plan Amendment for four properties south of Rod Mcleod Park. Pursuant to state law, a local agency may only amend state mandated chapters (including the Land Use element) four times in a calendar year. The Planning Division is processing a number of General Plan Amendments currently, and it is likely that City staff may have to batch the General Plan Amendments anticipated in 2024 in order to comply with state law.
The authorization to proceed with the General Plan Amendment does not bestow approval upon any of the aforementioned applications and does not commit the City Council to any future action. The 25 Item5.
application as a whole will return to City Council with a recom mendation from the City’s Planning Commission.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The action before the City Council is statutorily exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15262, Feasibility and Planning Studies. This agenda item involves the consideration of processing a General Plan Amendment application. This general direction does not have a legally binding effect on any possible future discretionary action.
ATTACHMENTS
a. Attachment “1” - Applicant’s Initiation Request Letter 26 Item5.
General Plan Amendment
Substantiation of Request
The Ci
ty’s General Plan Amendment policy E2.2 states that when a General Plan Amendment is submitted to the City, the City shall consider whether identified physical, social, or city- wide economic factors or changes that have made the existing General Plan designation, policy statement goal, or intent in question inappropriate from the standpoint of the general public welfare.
In this
case, the expansion of the overlay would allow the development of a new hall for the Jehovah’s Witness congregation which would create the opportunity for their annual conference to take place in Escondido, rather than outside of the County. This would bring thousands of people to the City each weekend who would spend money at local restaurants, shops, and hotels.
This would boost the local economy. This use would promote the General Plan Goals related to economic prosperity such as:
Employm
ent Acreage Policy 1.4 - Promote quality economic development that fosters job availability, economic revitalization, and tax revenues.
Employm
ent Acreage Policy 1.5 - Encourage a variety of economic activities in Escondido that:
a) Diversifies and balances the economic base and cushions the city’s economy from a downturn in any one sector or cyclical fluctuations.
Long-Term
Economic Wellb eing Policy 8.1 - Work with businesses and other stakeholders to identify and implement programs and measures for the revitalization and/or transition of underutilized and obsolete employment areas. This may include:

A Amendment would promote quality economic development which would foster economic development by allowing the increase in regional tourist traffic from those attending the weekly events at the new Jehovah’s Witness Temple. Additionally, it would revital ize an underutilized area. The Current plan for the SPA as high- paying employment land has become obsolete and the SPA Amendment would allow for development in the area which would promote economic development.
The adj
acent area already includes various types residential development including single family to the south and across Centre City Pkwy to the east, and an RV park to the southwest. Additional uses permitted in residential zones would not be out of place or detrimental to the surrounding neighborhood. There is also ample supportive commercial within a half-mile of the site including the El Norte Parkway Plaza to the West and Del Norte Plaza to the East.

Based on the City’s criteria, amendment of the SPA would conform to the General Plan goal of amending designations that are no longer appropriate due to changes in social and economic factors. Therefore, the owners request that the City initiate the amendment process for SPA #13.

PURCHASE TWENTY-FIVE (25) FORD PATROL INTERCEPTOR UTILITY VEHICLES
DEPARTMENT
Public Works Department, Fleet Services Division
RECOMMENDATION
Request the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2024-18 authorizing the Fleet Services Division of the Public Works Department to purchase up to $1,500,000 of Ford Police Interceptor Utility Vehicles by utilizing a cooperative purchase agreement through the State of California, Contract No. 1 -22-23-14C, and approving the disposal of the surplus vehicles via auction.
Staff Recommendation: Approval (Public Works: Joseph Goulart, Director of Public Works) Presenter: Jeramiah Jennings, Fleet Maintenance Superintendent ESSENTIAL SERVICE – Yes, Police Services
COUNCIL PRIORITY – Improve Public Safety
FISCAL ANALYSIS
Funds for vehicle replacements were approved for use in the Fiscal Year 2024 Budget, and are available for this purchase in the Fleet Services Vehicle Replacement Fund, Account No. 5208-653-715.
The funds generated by the auction sale of the Patrol Vehicles being replaced will be deposited into the Fleet Reserve Fund. The potential revenue generated by the disposal of the surplus property is unknown until the results of the auction are returned to the City of Escondido (“City”).
BACKGROUND
This purchase is necessary to replace twenty-five (25) Patrol Vehicles that have met their life expectancy of eight (8) years, and have become more expensive to operate due to their age, higher than anticipated mileage, and engine hours of use.
Due to continued supply chain constraints in the automobile industry, the Patrol Vehicles will be ordered with non-hybrid powertrains. Ford is not offering pricing for the 2025 Hybrid Interceptor until late in 2024, 29 Item6.
and there is high probability the hybrid powertrain wil l not be offered at all in 2024 for the 2025-year model.
Pricing is not yet available for the 2025 Interceptor , however, the current cost per vehicle projection is $55,000- $60,000. To ensure the City secures an order for the 2025 -year model Interceptor, the Council request for $1,500,000 is to allow Fleet Services to secure a vehicle order immediately upon obtaining the cooperative purchase quote from the State of California, Department of General Services (DGS). With the need to replace twenty -five Interceptors, Council pre-approval of $1,500,000 allows enough funding to secure the order while retaining financial flexibility to absorb inevitable price increases.
Operationally, the Police Department has faced shortages of available patrol vehicles. The shortages are mostly based on the inability to replace aging patrol vehicles due to the current delays in vehicle production over the last few years. The current ord er of 25 Patrol Vehicles approved by Council in February of 2022, has yet to be produced by Ford. This two-year delay in production has increased the vehicle downtime, which directly affects vehicle availability for the officers. The number of repairs necessary to keep the current Patrol Fleet running has increased dramatically. Reduced parts availability from supply chain shortages, is also contributing to the challenges faced by Fleet Services.
Upon approval from the City Council, up to twenty-five (25) Ford Patrol Interceptor Utility Vehicles will be purchased from Folsom Ford of Folsom, California. Fleet Services will purchase these vehicles with a not to exceed amount of $1,500,000, utilizing a cooperative purchase contract with the State of California as allowed per Escondido Municipal Code, Chapter 10, Article 5, Section 10-91, authorizing the purchase of supplies and equipment utilizing cooperative purchase programs.
Pursuant to the Escondido Municipal Code, Chapter 10, Article 7, Section 10-147, City property that is no longer required for public use and is declared as surplus property. The City’s current practice of disposing of surplus vehicles and equipment is through public auction. Staff recommends the disposal of the vehicles being replaced by this purchase via public auction with the City-contracted auction company.

REPEAL OF ESCONDIDO MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 33, ARTICLE 40, SECTION 33 -791, HISTORIC
PRESERVATION COMMISSION
DEPARTMENT
City Clerk’s Office
RECOMMENDATION
Request the City Council introduce Ordinance No. 2024-03 to repeal Escondido Municipal Code Chapter 33, Article 40, Section 33-791, Historic Preservation Commission.
Staff Recommendation: Approval (City Clerk: Zack Beck)
Presenter: Zack Beck, City Clerk
ESSENTIAL SERVICE – Yes, Land Use/Development
COUNCIL PRIORITY – Encourage Housing Development
PREVIOUS ACTION
On February 7, 2024, the City Council voted 5 -0 to approve the Boards and Commissions Subcommittee recommendation to align with the Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy and Council Priorities by dissolving the Historic Preservation Commission and transferring their responsibilities to the Planning Commission, Zoning Administrator and Staff with criteria for Certificates of Appropriateness on Major Projects.
BACKGROUND
On August 19, 2020, the City Council formed a Boards and Commissions Subcommittee and assigned then Mayor Paul McNamara and Councilmember Consuelo Martinez to serve on it. The Subcommittee was tasked with reviewing the function of the City’s Boards and Commissions in order to provide recommendations to make the commissions more efficient and effective to the full Council as needed.
On December 15, 2021, the City Council approved the following Boards and Commissions Subcommittee recommendations: 2-year terms for all commissions, uniform bylaws for all commissions, expansion to seven members for all commissions and an annual meeting between City Council and Commissioners. The 34 Item7.
2-year terms, uniform bylaws and expansion to seven members were not applicable to the Planning Commission and Library Board of Trustees, as they are both governed by State Law.
On April 12, 2022 , Development Services Staff presented the concept of dissolving the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) to the Boards and Commissions Subcommittee. Staff noted that the HPC experienced challenges with recruiting quali fied candidates and making quorum for meetings which resulted in certain projects being delayed. The Subcommittee decided to observe the HPC for a bit longer before making a dissolution recommendation to the full Council.
After the 2022 Election, Mayor Wh ite replaced former Mayor Paul McNamara on the Boards and Commissions Subcommittee. The Subcommittee met throughout 2023 and specifically reviewed the HPC.
The Subcommittee reached a conclusion that they would recommend dissolving the HPC and transfer certain historic preservation responsibilities to the Planning Commission and other responsibilities to staff (Attachment “1”).
The primary purpose for dissolving the HPC is to bring the City into better alignment with the Comprehensive Economic Development S tudy (CEDS). The CEDS identified that the City of Escondido’s process for permitting housing is slow as stated below:
“Slow Housing Permitting In a region with strong housing demand, the pace of housing permitting in Escondido is slow, relative to its peers. In terms of economic or demographic fundamentals, the City does not face any significant barriers to permitting new housing. Even Measure S, which is sometimes linked to the City’s land use status quo, cannot obviously be linked to slow permitting. Inte rviews with planning officials and other city leaders indicate that there is widespread commitment towards increasing the number of housing units on the market. Indeed, since 2017 there has been a marked improvement in permits issued. However, neighboring cities still do better in this regard, especially in the multi -family category. Slow permitting has two major effects on the Escondido economy. First, it makes the City more expensive and therefore less attractive to younger working families who might othe rwise bring incomes and the ‘workforce of tomorrow’ into the City. The City will be less attractive to families if it continues to lock them out of home ownership. Second, it represents an unnecessary drag on the construction industry.
Construction added m ore jobs than any other sector between 2016 and 2021, but it would have added even more if Escondido permitted more housing. Slow permitting is also somewhat related to the ability of Escondido to provide adequate housing to its residents. Community respon dents, especially from the business sector, reported concerns about public homelessness. A small part of this problem can be connected to barriers (in Escondido and across California) to the construction of new housing units.” By transferring historic preservation responsibilities to the Planning Commission and staff, it should lead to a more expeditious approval process. This also aligns with City Council priority to Encourage Housing Development.
35 Item7.
There are unique qualifications for the HPC as listed here: Boards & Commissions - City of Escondido and fortunately, we have recently bee n able to fill the seats with qualified candidates. The current Historic Preservation Commissioners are actively engaged and doing their best with limited resources, staff liaison turnovers and bi-monthly meetings. The recommendation of the Subcommittee to dissolve the HPC is not a reflection of its displeasure with the current commissioners, rather it is intended to make the City more efficient by aligning processes and polices with the Comprehensive Economic Development Study and Council Priorities.
At the request of the Subcommittee, the City Clerk informed the Historic Preservation Commissioners about the possibility of dissolution at the November 16, 2023 meeting. In addition, the City Clerk provided background information about the possible HPC dissolution to the Old Escondido Neighborhood Group as well as the Planning Commission. Planning Commission discussed the potential dissolution of the Historic Preservation Commission (“HPC”) during their January 9th and January 23rd regularly scheduled meetings. During these discussions, the commission discussed the benefits of historic preservation within the City, potential issues associated with the dissolution of the HPC, and what obstacles the HPC may present to residential development within the City. The Planning Commission did not vote on a formal recommendation regarding the HPC.
The Subcommittee is committed to historic p reservation which is why they propose transferring HPC responsibilities to the Planning Commission. This will encourage the Planning Commission to view projects through a historical lens, with the goal being a more cohesive vision for development that reflects Escondido’s vibrant community.

SHORT-FORM RENT INCREASE APPLICATION FOR CASA GRANDE MOBILE ESTATES
DEPARTMENT
Development Services; Housing & Neighborhood Services Division
RECOMMENDATION
Request the City Council to review and consider Casa Grande’s Mobile Estates Short-Form Application and adopt the Rent Review Board Resolution No. RRB 2024-19.
Staff Recommendation: Approval (Development Services: Chris McKinney) Presenter: Danielle Lopez, Housing Manager
ESSENTIAL SERVICE – No
COUNCIL PRIORITY – N/A
FISCAL ANALYSIS
Staff time and resources were expended to process the short -form application. Staff reviewed the application, evaluated the mobilehome park for code enforcement violations and conducted public outreach with the affected park residents, park manager and own ers. No additional fiscal impact was incurred by the City.
PREVIOUS ACTION
On May 26, 2021, a short-form application was considered and approved, based on 68.5% of the change in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”), between December 31, 2018, and December 31, 2020, resulting an average space increase of $15.16 per month.
BACKGROUND
On June 8, 1988, the Escondido residents voted to approve Proposition K to enact Mobilehome Rent Control in the City of Escondido (“City”). Under Proposition K, if a park owner wants to increase the rent on a mobilehome rent control space, they must file an application with the City and obtain approval from 39 Item8.
the Mobilehome Park Rent Review Board (“Board”). This Board is an independent body comprised of the City of Escondido Councilmembers.
In 1997, the Board adopted changes to the Mobilehome Rent Review Board Guidelines t o allow for the acceptance of a “ short-form” application . The short -form is an abbreviated and less administrative burdensome application process for park owners and City staff. A park owner can request a rent increase based solely on the change in the San Diego Metropolitan Area ’s Consumer Price Index (“CPI”), All Items/All Urban Consumers component since the last increase was granted by the Board. The requested increase may not exceed ninety percent (90%) of the increase in CPI since the last application was granted by the Board, or 8% of the current rent, w hichever is less, subject to a two-year limit. Park owners are allowed to apply one-year from the date the last application was submitted.
Casa Grande Mobile Estates is a senior park located at 1001 South Hale Avenue, Escondido Ca, 92029. The Park has a total of 102 spaces with 101 spaces subject to rent control. The Park is requesting an increase for the 101 rent-controlled spaces. The amenities available for the residents include a clubhouse with a kitchen, pool table, Ping-Pong table, sitting area with large screen tv, Wi-Fi, and a library, a swimming pool and sauna, a BBQ, a greenbelt, RV storage, and coin laundry facilities.
Casa Grande Mobile Estates submitted a short-form application on August 1, 2022, (Attachment “1”). The short-form application was originally scheduled to come before the Rent Review Board on December 7, 2022. However, after careful consideration the hearing was postponed and the application was deemed incomplete, due to insufficient information regarding t he sales of several of the spaces. Other factors leading to the long time line of this application include a change in park management staff and challenges obtaining the necessary information from previous management, and several staff changes in the Housing and Neighborhood Services Division.
City staff reviewed the final application and deemed it to be complete on December 20, 2023. City staff mailed a letter , written in both English and Spanish, on January 4, 202 4, notifying the affected park residents of the application and proposed rent increase, upcoming residential meeting, and public hearing date (Attachment “2”).
The Casa Grande Mobile Estates short-form application was available for review at the Park office, Housing & Neighborhood Services Division counter at City Hall and the City’s website. City staff elected to post the application online on the Housing & Neighborhood’s website to promote transparency and remove potential barriers to access.
Housing & Neighborhood Services and Code Compliance staff facilitated an in -person meeting for the affected residents on January 22, 2024, at 6:30 p.m. Code Compliance conducted a lighting inspection on January 22, 2024 and completed an inspection of the common areas on January 23, 2024 (Attachment “3”).
40 Item8.
City staff mailed a 10 -day notice written in both English and Spanish to residents on February 8, 2024 reminding them of the February 21, 2024 City Council Meeting (Attachment “4”).
THE RENT INCREASE APPLICATION:
The application meets all the eligibility criteria for submittal of a short-form rent increase.
PARK OWNER’S REQUEST:
The Park is requesting an increase of 90% of the change in CPI for the period of December 31, 202 0, to December 31, 2021. A park is allowed to request up to 90% of the current CPI. Under Section 12(E) of the Guidelines, it states “ The Board must presume that up to ninety percent (90%) of the Consumer Price Index is a fair, just, and reasonable rent increase. However, the Boar d may consider any of the other Ordinance factors at the request of either the park owner or the affected residents in determining that a lesser increase is fair, just, and reasonable.” These factors are referenced in Chapter 29, Article 5, Section 29-104(g) of the Escondido Municipal Code. Ninety percent of the change in the CPI is 5.714% for the period of consideration. Currently, the average monthly rent for the residents that are affected by this application is $605.15. The average monthly increase requested for the eight spaces is $34.58 per space, per month. This increase ranges from to $17.79 - $44.22 per space, per month.
RESIDENT MEETING AND COMMENTS:
All residents affected by this request were invited to attend a meeting in their clubhouse on January 22, 2024, at 6:30 p.m. The meeting was attended by 1 2 residents, the Park manager, and City staff. The application and the short -form hearing procedures were reviewed with the residents. Residents requested management look into smart meters through SDG&E, installation of security gates, new washers and dryers and a resident suggestion box. Park management informed the residents of several improvements that were coming including, pool resurfacing, new fencing around the RV parking lot, new mailboxes and posts, new furniture for the club house and new paint and flooring in the laundry room.
Residents elected Kristine Landweh to serve as the resident representative. City staff reinforced the Rent Review Board’s request that the park representative and r esident representatives meet before the Rent Review Board meeting to discuss park issues.
41 Item8.
CODE COMPLIANCE INSPECTION:
On January 22, a lighting inspection was performed by the Code Compliance Division; four lighting violations were identified. On January 23, an inspection of the common areas was conducted by the Code Compliance Division, Housing and Neighborhood Services Manager, Park Management, and a resident representative. Three general park violations were identified, including over grow trees an d a broken swimming pool stair rail.
A notice was mailed to the park manager and owner informing them of the violations. (Attachment “3”).
A reinspection was conducted and as of February 8, 2024, all violations were corrected (Attachment “5”).
According to the Mobilehome Rent Review Board Guidelines, no increase granted for any park shall go into effect until any existing code violations are corrected.
ADDITIONAL FACTORS AFFECTING THE APPLICATION:
In conformance with the Rent Review Board Guid elines, the decision of the Board will be finalized by adoption of the Resolution confirming the findings of the Public Hearing. The Notice of Determination will be mailed to the applicant and residents immediately upon adoption of the Resolution. Park owners and management must give a 90-day notice of any rent increase to affected residents upon the adoption of the Resolution.
