BACKGROUND
The City’s trunk sewer mains, constructed in the 1950’s, are a critical and integral part of the City’s wastewater system. In June 2024, during routine closed -circuit television inspection, Utilities Staff identified multiple failed and severely deteriorated sections of 18-inch and 21-inch trunk sewer main. In order to act quickly to avoid catastrophic failure, a local emergency was proclaimed on June 20, 2024, by the City Manager, serving as the Director of Emergency Services. This allowed staff to work di rectly with contractors to address the necessary repairs to the failing trunk sewer main.

The current and continuing scope of work includes two sections of severely deteriorated trunk sewer main that are in critical condition. These sections are shown in Figure 1 below and defined as follows:

33 Item5.

Section 1: Ash Street - paralleling the Escondido Creek, from the Firestone Complete Auto Care (“Firestone”) parking lot to the Walmart Neighborhood Market (“Walmart”) parking lot; and

Section 2: Beech Street to Gr ape Day Park - paralleling the Escondido Creek, traversing a short section of North Hickory Street, then continuing in East Pennsylvania Street from North Hickory and extending into Grape Day Park.

Figure 1

Section 1 emergency repair work began on August 7, 2024, and is anticipated to be complete by December 31, 2024. W ork continues in Ash Street, the Firestone parking lot , and the Walmart parking lot. The contractor, J.R. Filanc Construction Company (“Filanc”), has installed approximately 300 linear feet of pipe. Additional work over the last several weeks includes: t he final work related to the relocation of an existing fire hydrant , including concrete pad and associated masonry wall; continued street improvements, includin g curb, gutter, and sidewalk repair to meet ADA compliance ; continued base paving work in preparation of the final paving of Ash Street, as well as both Firestone and Walmart parking lots; and closed-circuit televising of the newly installed trunk sewer by Utilities Staff. See Figure 2 below.

Utilities Staff continues c ommunication and coordination with Caltrans to ensure compliance with the Project’s Caltrans encroachment permit. Traffic control message boards indicating Ash Street closure and restricted working hours remain in place at the work site.

34 Item5.

Figure 2

Section 2 emergency repair work began on July 25, 2024, and is anticipated to be complete by May 31, 2025. The contractor, CCL Contracting, Inc. (“CCL”), has installed approximately 1,300 linear feet of pipe, from Grape Day Park to Juniper Street, out of a total of 5,400 linear feet. Additional work over the last several weeks includes: continued reconnection of sewer laterals, installation of the new 24” trunk sewer pipeline, and removal of the highline. Section 2 trunk main installation work continues between the intersection of Juniper Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, and continues to move east to Hickory Street .

Utilities Staff continues to communicate and coordinate with affected businesses within the construction zone of influence. The City Parks & Recreation Department has completed the re -seeding of Grape Day Park due to construction. The restoration of the park has bee n successful to date, with affected areas of Grape Day Park regrowing and looking green. See Figure 3 below. Electronic message boards updating the community are in place , where appropriate, throughout the construction project site and will remain through the duration of work.

Utilities Staff contin ues to coordinate with other City Departments regarding current and upcoming construction, including the Grand Avenue Corridor Project, the Grape Day Park Restroom Project, and the Escondido Creek Trail Project.

SUBJECT
APPROVAL OF THE FY2025/26 RECOGNIZED OBLIGATION PAYMENT SCHEDULE

DEPARTMENT
Finance

RECOMMENDATION
Request the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2024-154 to approve the FY2025/26 Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (“ROPS”) so that the Successor Agency may continue to make payments due for enforceable obligations.

Staff Recommendation: Approval (Finance: Christina Holmes, Director of Finance) Presenter: Christina Holmes, Director of Finance
ESSENTIAL SERVICE – No
COUNCIL PRIORITY –

FISCAL ANALYSIS
Under the Redevelopment Dissolution Act, the Successor Agency is responsible for submitting to the County Oversight Board a payment schedule for obligations of the former Redevelopment Agency. The County Oversight Board will forward this payment schedule to the State for approval. Once approved by the State, the County of San Diego will fund the payments from the County Redevelopment Property Tax Trust Fund (“RPTTF”).

PREVIOUS ACTION
Resolution No. 2023-149 to approve the Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule ( “ROPS24-25”) was approved by the City Council on December 13, 2023.

BACKGROUND
Escondido’s Redevelopment Agency (“Redevelopment Agency”) was established in December 1984 in connection with the adoption of the Escondido Redevelopment Plan (“Plan”) and formation of a Redevelopment Project Area (“Escondido Redevelopment Project Area”). The Redevelopment A gency 39 Item6.

consisted of the members of the Escondido City Council, although the City and Redevelopment Agency were legally separate entities.

In essence, redevelopment worked for decades by freezing the level of property taxes at the time the Redevelopment Agency adopted the Plan for the Escondido Redevelopment Project Area. During the existence of redevelopment, any increases in taxes went to the Redevelopment Agency, rather than the various entities that would have otherwise received the tax increases. This stream of revenue (the difference between taxes at the time of formation and the amount of increases, which occur over the years) was known as “tax increment” and could be used to pay the principal of and interest on loans, moneys advanced to, or indebtedness incurred by the Redevelopment Agency to finance a redevelopment project.

As part of the 2011 Budget Act, and in order to protect funding for core public services at the local level, the State Legislature approved the dissolution of the state’s 400 plus Redevelopment Agencies (“RDAs”).

The State of California’s passage of Assembly Bill X1 26 dissolved RDAs and replaced them with successor agencies effective February 1, 2012. As a result of the elimination of the RDAs, property tax revenues are now being used to pay required payments on existing bonds, other obligations, and pass -through payments to local governments. The remaining property tax revenues that exceed the enforceable obligations are being allocated to cities, counties, special distric ts, and school and community college districts.

To help facilitate the wind-down process at the local level, successor agencies were established to manage redevelopment projects currently underway, make payments on enforceable obligations, and dispose of redevelopment assets and properties. The City of Escondido elected to serve as the Successor Agency for the Redevelopment Agency.

Pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 34179(j), on July 1, 2018, one Countywide Oversight Board (“Countywide OB”) was created. The Countywide OB consists of seven mem bers representing agencies in the County and it will continue to oversee and approve the wind down actions of the successor agencies for former redevelopment agencies. As such, all actions of the Successor Agency approved by the City Council will then be submitted to the Countywide OB for approval, and then to the State Department of Finance for final approval.

RECOGNIZED OBLIGATION PAYMENT SCHEDULE OUTSTANDING OBLIGATIONS The Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule for July 202 5 through June 202 6 (Exhibit “A”) lists one enforceable obligation of the Redevelopment Agency:

Loan Repayment to Traffic Impact Fund: $150,000
California Health and Safety Code Section 33445 authorized a redevelopment agency to enter into agreements with the host city to borrow money and accept financial assistance from the city for 40 Item6.

redevelopment projects located within the agency’s jurisdiction. Because newly formed agency funding was limited to a future, expected stream of tax increment, cities often loaned agencies both staf f and funding to get redevelopment projects started. By Escondido Community Development Commission (“CDC”) Resolution 1985 -07, the Traffic Impact Fund loaned the Redevelopment Agency $200,000 for certain Nordahl Bridge improvements. Under Section 5 of Re solution No. CDC 85 -7, the Commission agreed to reimburse the City for the advance from whatever revenue the Commission is entitled to and to pay interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum. On December 18, 2012, this Loan was recognized by the Department of Finance to be an enforceable obligation of the Successor Agency.

Listed in ROPS25-26 (Exhibit “A”) is a request for approval of a payment of $150,000. The $150,000 total payment will result in an ending loan balance of $792,917 including accrued interest, summarized in the table below:

FY2024/25 Ending Balance $841,890
ROPS25/26 Payment (150,000)

SUBJECT
PURCHASE THREE (3) MEDIX AMBULANCES FROM REPUBLIC EVS

DEPARTMENT
Public Works Department, Fleet Services Division

RECOMMENDATION
Request the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2024-174 approving a budget adjustment of $157,752.18, and authorizing the Fleet Services Division of the Public Works Department to purchase three (3) Medix Ambulances from Republic EVS of Huntington Beach, California, for $1,117,752.18 by utilizing a cooperative purchase agreement through HGAC, Contract No. AM10-23, 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 Manager ESSENTIAL SERVICE – Yes, internal requirement in support of Fire/EMS Services COUNCIL PRIORITY – Improve Public Safety

FISCAL ANALYSIS
Due to continued inflation, the $960,000 previously approved for this purchase in Fiscal Year 2025 operating budget is insufficient and a budget adjustment in the amount of $157,752.18 is necessary to fund the purchase of the 3 Medix Ambulances. The Staff recommendation is to supplement the funding for this purchase by utilizing funds from the Paramedic Services Capital Replacement Fund (“Fund”) which was established in Fiscal Year 2024. This Fund was created by revenue generated from the Public Provider Ground Emergency Transportation Inter -Governmental Transfer ( “PP-GEMT-IGT”) program. The PP- GEMT-IGT program, was established by the State legislature and Governor (AB 1705) and is federally funded and managed by the California Department of Health Care Services ( “DHCS”). Agencies that provide ambulance transportation pay into a fund that provides DHCS with the non-federal share of funds that are then matched with federal funds to increase the City’s reimbursement for Medi-Cal patients.

Funds generated by the auction sale of the ambulances 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”). 61 Item9.

BACKGROUND
The purchase is necessary to replace three existing ambulances, City unit numbers 3805, 3806, and 3807. 3805 is a 2018 Medix ambulance which has 140,000 miles and 8,300 engine hours; 3806 is a 2019 Medix ambulance with 140,000 miles and 7, 800 engine hours ; 3807 is a 201 9 Medix ambulance with 1 36,000 miles and 7,400 engine hours. Although these ambulances have not met their projected life cycle of seven years, all three ambulances have exceeded their mileage life expectancy which is projected to 120,000 miles.

Currently, build times f or chassis delivery to the ambulance body manufacturer is averaging 20 to 24 months from chassis order dates. Plus, another year lead time for the body manufacturer to build and outfit the ambulance body and install on the chassis. This extensive amount of lead time to receive this ambulance purchase is similar to what the City has experienced with our last Medix Ambulance purchases.

Unfortunately, these types of lead times are the new industry standard for ambulance purchases across all major ambulance body manufacture rs. The expected delivery dates of these three (3) Medix Ambulances is likely 30 to 36 months after order date. Ambulance specifications (Attachment “1”) and Ambulance drawings (Attachment “2”) are attached to this Staff Report.

Upon approval from the City Council, a budget adjustment of $ 157,752.18 will allow staff to utilize revenue from the PP-GEMT-IGT program to purchase three (3) Medix Ambulances. The ambulances will be purchased from Republic EVS of Huntington Beach, California, utilizing a cooperative purchase contract with HGAC 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 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.

SAN DIEGO SENIORS COMMUNITY FOUNDATION HOLIDAY GRANT – $3,005

DEPARTMENT
Community Services Department

RECOMMENDATION
Request the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2024-180 authorizing the Assistant Director of Community Services to receive a $3,005 No Senior Alone for the Holidays grant from the San Diego Seniors Community Foundation.

FISCAL ANALYSIS
There is no impact to the General Fund and the grant does not require matching funds.

PREVIOUS ACTION
The No Senior Alone for the Holidays grant has been an annual grant from the San Diego Seniors Community Foundation since 2021. The City Council accepted the previous year’s grant on December 6, 2023 under Resolution No. 2023-163.

BACKGROUND
The City of Escondido has been awarded $3,005 from the San Diego Seniors Community Foundation as a part of their Holiday Grants Program. These funds will support seasonal programming that will reduce social isolation among seniors during the holidays (December 2024) by providing engaging, festive events that foster social connections and a sense of community. These holiday activities and events include:

Santa Walk Holiday Activity
96 Item11.

Seniors will participate in a fun and festive "Santa Walk" event, where they’ll receive a Santa hat and a special holiday -themed shirt. Participants will walk around the Park Avenue Community C enter, promoting both fitness and holiday spi rit. Afterward, they can relax with a warm cup of hot cocoa, complete with a variety of sweet toppings.

Winter Celebration
Seniors will be treated to live entertainment by crowd favorite Peter Seltzer before enjoying lunch. After lunch, participants can return to the auditorium for a fun winter holiday craft session, themed around this year’s motif, “The Grinch.” They will create crafts to take home or gift to a loved one.

Holiday Movie & Edible Craft
Seniors will watch the classic holiday movie “The Grinch” while enjoying popcorn and lemonade. During the event, they’ll also have the chance to decorate a sugar cookie ornament to take home or enjoy.

Holiday Bags Delivery
Fifty homebound seniors will receive holiday bags filled with essential items such as Chapstick, hand sanitizer, deodorant, batteries, tissues, toothbrushes, toothpaste, scarves or mittens, fun activities, and treats. These bags will be delivered in partnership with Meals on Wheels to ensure that seniors who cannot visit our facility still receive a special holiday gift. Through this collaboration, we are committed to ensuring that no senior is forgotten during the holiday season.

Who-bilation Celebration
Seniors will wrap up the holiday week with a Grinch-inspired celebration, as they will enjoy live carolers in the festively decorated auditorium. They will have the chance to meet and take photos with “The Grinch” himself and create an edible Christmas tree to enjoy.

ANIMAL CONTROL SERVICES AGREEMENT WITH THE SAN DIEGO HUMANE SOCIETY AND

BUDGET ADJUSTMENT

DEPARTMENT
Police Department

RECOMMENDATION
Request the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2024-186 approving an animal control services agreement with the San Diego Humane Society and authorize the Mayor to execute contract documents on behalf of the City. The term of the agreement is 18 months from January 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026.

COUNCIL PRIORITY – Improve Public Safety; Increase Retention and Attraction of People and Businesses to Escondido

FISCAL ANALYSIS
City staff analyzed several options for animal control services. The following factors were considered: cost effectiveness; scope of service; legal requirements; and community benefit. Staff researched agreements from other municipalities and in-house options for animal control services.

Option 1 – Joint Powers Agreement (“JPA”)
A JPA study was completed in 2014 by Citygate Associates LLC. Cities included in the JPA study were Escondido, Oceanside, and San Marcos. At that time, Escondido’s annual contribut ion was estimated between $1.6 to $2 million. The annual cost would cover operating expenses. In addition, a shelter facility would need to be built. Bond measures could cover the cost of the facility. The JPA would take approximately four years to start. This option could still be considered in future years.

103
Item12.

Option 2 – In-house Animal Control Services
Staff research determined that in -house animal control services, comparable to the level of service provided by the San Diego Humane Society, would require approximately $2 million dollars for annual operating costs. Additionally, a shelter facility would be needed. Based on the City of El Cajon’s construction of an animal shelter, costs are estimated at $14 million. This process would take several years to complete. While the City of El Cajon built their shelter and provided animal control services for a short period of time, they have since contracted with San Diego Humane Society for their animal control needs.

A major portion of animal control costs are related to veterinary services and animal care. Eliminating these aspects would result in high euthan asia rates and reduced services to the community. Even with these severe reductions, costs are still estimated at $1.7 million for annual operating expenses. At this time, the San Diego Humane Society can provide a higher level of service at lower cost.

Option 3 – Contract with Another Animal Control Entity
In an effort to explore all options, staff researched San Diego County Animal Services, however , they discontinued services to the cities of Carlsbad, Del Mar, Encinitas, Santee, San Diego, and Solan a Beach.

Those cities now use San Diego Humane Society for their animal control needs. Chula Vista Animal Care Facility services other cities in close proximity. Coronado has its own facility. Staff will continue to research other animal control options.

Animal Control Service Providers Throughout the County

Recommendation – Animal Control Agreement with San Diego Humane Society To maintain a high level of specialized, wrap -around animal control services, it was determined to be in the City’s best interest to retain the San Diego Humane Society, a California nonprofit corporation.

The San Diego Humane Society services 13 municipalities within San Diego County. The proposed annual fees for the City of Escondido are comparable to rates paid by other cities.

The San Diego Humane Society calculates the City of Escondido’s animal control costs based on services specific to Escondido. The major portion of these expenses are related to:

Cities Serviced
104
Item12.

- Veterinary services
- Animal intakes
- Animal care and shelter
- Humane law enforcement field services.
- Dog Licenses Issued
Philanthropic and charitable donations to the San Diego Humane Society cover about 50% of Escondido’s total animal control costs. The remaining expenses are included in the proposed agreement annual payment.

The Chief of Police and the San Diego Humane Society worked diligently through negotiations to determine the most cost-effective solution for both the City of Escondido and the San Diego Humane Society.

After these negotiations, the following commitments were established:

Annual cost = $1,537,416

The San Diego Humane Society continues to explore options for reducing the City’s agreement contribution. Possibilities include increasing fees to generate revenue, which will offset Escondido’s final expenses.

It is requested that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2024 -186 approving an animal control services agreement with the San Diego Humane Society. The proposed agreement covers a period of 18 months, starting January 1, 2025 and ending June 30, 2026. At the end of this term, an administrative extension period of six months will allow further negotiations to establish a multi -year contract with the San Diego Humane Society. A minimum compensation increase by Consumer Price Index (“CPI”), but not to exceed 5 percent, will take effect on the first day of service within the Extension Period. The extension period would also be used to explore other animal control service options.

A budget adjustment is needed to increase the Police Department’s FY 2024-25 Operating Budget to cover January 2025-June 2025 expenses of 768,708. Funding source will be the General Fund Balance.

Factors to be Considered/Findings of Fact
PLANNING CASE NOS. PL23-0296/PL23-0297/PL24-0217

1. Specific Plan Amendment (PL23-0296) (Section 33-1263 of Division 4 in Article 61 of the Escondido Zoning Code)
With respect to Planning Case No. PL23 -0296, the City Council make the following findings for approval:

a) That the public health, safety and welfare will not be adversely affected by the proposed change;

The public health, safety and welfare would not be adversely affected by the proposed Specific Plan Amendment. The proposed amendment would permit for a new use type within a specific district in the Specific Plan area and sets the permitting process for drive-through establishments through a Conditional Use Permit (“CUP”) thereby ensuring further development review on a case-by-case basis.

The amendment would also revise several sections related to development standards, design review, and definitions within the Specific Plan. The application of a CUP for drive -through restaurant uses within the 13th Avenue Corners District would not be detrimental to surrounding properties because the proposed changes seek to activate an existing vacant restaurant site. The p roposed amendment would limit the future potential proliferation of the use type in that it limits the use to one corner of the district where four corners exist.

The proposed amendment would allow for the proposed development project to construct a new drive-through restaurant at the Project site resulting in redevelopment of a previously developed site.

This proposed reuse must comply with any applicable laws and standards, including the Building Code, the Fire Code, and any property standards bylaws. Fu rthermore, requiring a CUP for the proposed change would allow the City to exercise discretionary authority over any future proposed projects, and condition future projects to ensure land use compatibility.

b) That the property involved is suitable for the uses permitted by the proposed zone;

The Specific Plan Amendment would affect the 13th Avenue Corners District in that it would permit for a previously prohibited use of a drive -through eating establishment (i.e., drive -through restaurant). However, the proposed Project limits this allowance to only one of the corners within the district where four exist and continues to place emphasis and focus on the goals of the district and specific plan. The site subject to this allowance would entail redevelopment as part of this request.

c) That the uses permitted by the proposed zone would not be detrimental to surrounding properties;

136
Item15.

The proposed Specific Plan Amendment would not be detrimental to surrounding properties because the limitations set forth as part of the amendment include an identified area where the proposed use would be permitted. The amendment language would ensure proliferation of this use is infeasible as it limits the allowable area for such uses to the subject site. Any future compatibility issues would be analyzed and addressed as part of the CUP process on a case-by-case basis.

The proposed amendment would allow for the proposed development project to construct a new drive-through restaurant at the Project site resulting in redevelopment of a previously developed site.

This proposed reuse must comply with any applicable laws and standards, including the Building Code, the Fire Code, and any property standards bylaws. Furthermore, requiring a CUP for the proposed change would allow the City to exercise discretionary authority over any future proposed projects, and condition future projects to ensure land use compatibility.

Further, the City prepared a set of conditions of approval that would be applied through the Conditional Use Permit process which would restrict activities to those resulting in negligible impacts on surrounding properties, as identified within the environmental review and through the Staff Development Review process.

d) That the proposed change is consistent with the adopted general plan;

The proposed Specific Plan Amendment would be consistent with the goals and polices of the General Plan in that specific plans are documents designed and written to implement the goals and policies of a general plan. The vision for the S CCSP includes developing the specific plan area with attractive design and economically viable development. Goals of the SCCSP include developing neighborhood serving specific commercial uses, as well as preserving and enhancing commercial development key nodes. The 13th Avenue Corners District is identified as a key commercial node that seeks to improve this specific intersection (Centre City Parkway and 13th Avenue) for the purposes of enhancing safety and increasing pedestrian and bicycling opportunities and amenities. While the Project would entail permitting of a drive -through use, the Project design integrates key pedestrian -oriented features intended to serve the surrounding neighborhoods and local uses. These include facets of the Project design not typically seen in intensive auto -oriented areas, such as a smaller building design with walkup ordering only; an enlarged outdoor dining area; identified pedestrian access from both street frontages--including striped pedestrian crosswalks on -site; and enhanced landscaping and buffering of the outdoor dining area from the drive -aisles. Therefore, the proposed Project is consistent with the vision and goals of the SCCSP. The Project is also consistent with policies outlined in the Economic Prosperity Element chapter of the City’s 2012 General Plan, specifically:

e) Employment Acreage Policy 1.4 Promote quality economic development that fosters job availability, economic revitalization, and tax revenues.

The Project would allow for additional employment (short/long term) opportunities within the SCCSP area, that are walkable, and bikeable to many of the area residents. The proposed restaurant use is replacing an existing vacant restaurant and is not anticipated to generate noise, traffic, lighting, or 137
Item15.

other impacts that would be detrimental to adjacent properties or uses than what was previously experienced. In accordance with CEQA Guidelines, an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (“IS/MND”) was prepared for the project. The preparation of the environmental review in accordance with CEQA Guidelines and Article 47 of the Escondido Zoning Code ensures the Project’s consistency with the General Plan’s Environmental Review Goal 18.

f) That the proposed change of zone does not establish a residential below 70% of the maximum permitted density of any lot or parcel of land previously zone R-3, R-4, or R-5 unless the exceptions regarding dwelling unit density can be made pursuant to the provisions set forth in Article 6;

The Project consists of a Specif ic Plan Amendment to amend the South Centre City Specific Plan (“SCCSP”). As outlined in Table 4.2 (Permitted Land Uses for Specified District/Subareas) of the SCCSP, multi-family residential uses are not permitted within the 13th Avenue Corners District. The proposed Specific Plan Amendment amends the land use matrix in Table 4.2 to allow an auto -oriented restaurant use within the district, subject to a Conditional Use Permit. The proposed change does not establish residential densities in a district which currently does not permit residential development.

g) That the relationship of the proposed change is applicable to specific plans;

The proposed change is app licable to the SCCSP, and does not affect the Escondido Zoning Code in that the SCCSP sets the governing standards and allowed uses within it and does not defer to the Zoning Code for allowable uses. The proposed amendment would only impact the 13th Avenue Corners District and more specifically, only one corner of that district where four exist. As indicated in Table 4.2 of the SCCSP, auto -oriented uses continue to be subject to Section 33 -341 (Commercial drive-through facilities requirements) of Article 16 (Commercial Zones) of the Escondido Zoning Code.

2. South Centre City Specific Plan Findings for Approval (Section 9.2.2.1 of Chapter 9 of the South Centre City Specific Plan)

With respect to the Project, the City Council make the following findings for approval of the Project:

a) The project successfully reflects the goals and vision of the Specific Plan; The Project site is governed by the South Centre City Specific Plan (“SCCSP”). Specific Plans are documents designed and written to implement the goals and policies of a general plan. The vision for the SCCSP includes developing the specific plan area with attractive design and economically viable development.

such as a smaller building design with walk-up ordering only; an enlarged outdoor dining area; identified pedestrian access from both street frontages --including striped pedestrian crosswalks on -site; and enhanced landscaping and buffe ring of the outdoor dining area from the drive -aisles. Therefore, the proposed Project is consistent with the vision and goals of the SCCSP.

b) The project represents successful implementation of the Specific Plan’s development standards and complies with all other applicable provisions of local and State law;

The Project complies with development standards outlined in the Specific Plan, and Article 16 (Commercial Zones) of the Escondido Zoning Code which further regulates auto -oriented uses. An Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared in accordance with State Law, and found that any impacts from the Project may be mitigated to less than significant with mitigation incorporated.

c) The Project exhibits overall, successful implementat ion of site and building design guidelines and the project reinforces the design context of the surrounding area;

The Project site is governed by the South Centre City Specific Plan (“SCCSP”). Specific Plans are documents designed and written to implement the goals and policies of a general plan. The vision for the SCCSP includes developing the specific plan area with attractive design and economically viable development.

Goals of the SCCSP include developing neighborhood -serving specific commercial uses, as well as preserving and enhancing commercial development key nodes. The 13th Avenue Corners District is identified as a key commercial node that seeks to improve this specific intersection (Centre City Parkway and W. 13th Avenue) for the purposes of enha ncing safety and increasing pedestrian and bicycling opportunities and amenities. While the Project would entail permitting of a drive through use, the Project design integrates key pedestrian-oriented features intended to serve the surrounding neighborhoods and local uses. These include facets of the Project design not typically seen in intensive auto -oriented areas, such as a smaller building design with walk-up ordering only; an enlarged outdoor dining area; identified pedestrian access from both street frontages—including striped pedestrian crosswalks on -site; and enhanced landscaping and buffering of the outdoor dining area from the drive -aisles. Therefore, the proposed Project is consistent with the vision and goals of the SCCSP.

The proposed Project would replace the existing large scale and bulky restaurant structure (9,558 square feet) with a restaurant of reduced profile that is smaller in scale, size (3,126 square feet), and massing.

The architectural designs are complimentary to surrounding color schemes, and provide a mixture of materials, and enhanced visibility (into and from the site). The proposed Project includes compatibility in terms of design and landscape components to that of the surrounding community through use of buffered landscape a reas between the adjacent public right -of-way and the site improvements. The proposed building’s façades along W. 13th Avenue (i.e., the primary street) and S. Pine Street would include large windows, which would allow clear views into the interior to the restaurant. The use of lattice screening (low/high height) for the open -air dining and ordering/pickup areas would facilitate visual transparency and interest into the site and new structures.

RECOMMENDATION
Request that the City Council adopt the following Resolution denying the Project:

1. Adopt Resolution No. 2024 -179, denying the proposed General Plan Amendment, Zone Map Amendment, Master and Precise Plan (Planned Development Permit), and Design Review Permit for the Project.

Staff Recommendation: Denial (Development Services Department: Deputy City Manager, Christopher McKinney)

ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS
The alternative options listed below are provided in the event the City Council decides to approve the Project:

1. The City Council may table the Project to a date uncertain, and direct the Applicant to work with City Staff on a site design consistent with the City’s adopted General Plan. If the City Council opts to move forward with this option, staff requests the Council provide specific guidance to the Applicant as to the nature of the Council’s direction.

2. If the City Council disagrees with the Planning C ommission’s recommendation to deny the Project, and believes the finding in support of the General Plan Amendment can be made then, staff requests the City Council express an intent to approve the Project, and direct staff to draft resolution/ordinance of approval in their motion. In doing so, the City Council would also make clear within the motion the following items: justification in support of the General Plan Amendment’s required finding, as identified in this staff report; whether to grant the requested density bonus and waiver related to the required dedication; and, adoption of the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program prepared for the Project.

Presenter: Ivan Flores, AICP, Senior Planner

Item16.

ESSENTIAL SERVICE – Yes, Land Use/Development
COUNCIL PRIORITY – Increase Retention and Attraction of People and Businesses to Escondido

FISCAL ANALYSIS
A denial of the Project would not result in direct costs to the City.

An approval of the Project would result in the private development Project paying development impact fees in effect at the time permits are requested.

BACKGROUND
Escondido Investments LLC (“Applicant”) submitted a request for the following land use applica tions: a General Plan Amendment to amend the land use designation for the subject parcel from Office (O) to Urban V (U5) to permit a maximum residential density of 30 dwelling units per acre (30 du/acre); a Zone Map Amendment to rezone the site from Hospital Professional ( “H-P”) to Very High Multi family Residential (R-5) to permit the proposed multi-family residential use; a Master and Precise Development Plan for the adoption of a Planned Development Zone and Permit; and a Design Review Permit all to allow for the conversion of the existing office building into 21 residential dwelling units (“Project”). The Project also includes a Density Bonus Request to exceed the allowable density, and allow for the utilization of incentives/concessions and waivers as permitted by State Density Bonus Law ( “SDBL”), and Article 67 (Density Bonus and Residential Incentives) of the Escondido Zoning Code. As required by SDBL, the Applicant proposes to deed restrict two of the 21 units for low-income households.

The Project site is currently developed with an existing 19,600 square-foot office building, and is located at the northeast corner of Hickory Street and 3 rd Avenue. The Project site is located within the H-P zone and maintains a General Plan land use designation of Office (O). The Project site is surrounded by a mix of medical office uses, and low- to medium-density residential uses in the surrounding area. The Project site is within the vicinity of the Downtown Specific Plan ( “DSP”) and the newly adopted East Valley Specific Plan (“EVSP”).

ANALYSIS
The Project includes a request for a General Plan Amendment, Zone Map Amendment, Master and Precise Plan for adoption of a Planned Development Zone and Permit, and a Design Review Permit to fa cilitate the conversion of an existing office building into 21 residential dwelling units . All of the requested entitlements noted above are dependent upon the General Plan Amendment being granted. If the General Plan Amendment is denied, all subsequent ac tions (i.e., Zone Map Amendment, Master and Precise Plan, and a Design Review Permit) would be denied. 142
Item16.

The Applicant also proposes to deed restrict two units for low-income households to exceed the allowable density (20 dwelling units), and proposes the use of the following incentives/concessions and waivers:

Incentive/Concessions: As permitted by SDBL, the Applicant is permitted one incentive/concession due to the provision of affordable units. An incentive/concession can include a reduction or elimination of site development standards, zoning code requirements, etc. that will result in an identifiable cost reduction to achieve the proposed density. The Applicant proposes the use of their incentive/concession on the requirement to resurface the adjacent alley, and reconstruction of the gutter.

Waiver: A waiver, unlike an incentive/concession, is unlimited and is applied to development standards (e.g., setbacks, building height, lot coverage) that physically preclude a project from achieving the proposed density. The Applicant is requesting the use of a waiver on the following items: 1) required covered parking, 2) usable open space, 3) double row parking separated by a landscape planter, and 4) the requirement to dedicate 2’-0” along the alley frontage.

City staff identified two issues with the proposed Project:

Issue 1: The requested General Plan Amendment is not consistent with policies within the City’s adopted 2012 General Plan related to open space and multifamily development due to the Project design omitting usable open space. Therefore, staff is unable to support the required finding for a General Plan Amendment due to the lack of usable open space being inconsistent with adopted General Plan policies.

Required findings are the threshold staff use for determining whether to recommend approval of a project. Because staff is unable to make t he General Plan Amendment finding , a number of additional findings related to the remaining requested entitlements are also unable to be met due to them requiring consistency with the General Plan.

The Applicant provided justification stating the need for housing within the City warrants the General Plan Amendment, which can be found under Attachment “1”. However, City staff’s position is that the Housing Element identifies over 850 sites within Escondido accommodating over 9,000 residential units where housing may be built by-right and without the need for a General Plan Amendment. The Project site is not located on the identified sites and denial of the Project would not preclude the City from accommodating its regional housing need. T herefore, staff does not agree the need for housing on this site warrants approval of a request inconsistent with the City’s adopted General Plan. It is possible that the City Council may decide to agree with the Applicant’s provided justification for the General Plan Amendment, in which case Attachment “ 1” provides example findings for approval based on the Applicant’s proposed justification.

Issue 2: As discussed throughout the Planning Commission staff report, dated November 12 , 2024 (Attachment “2”), staff does not agree with the utilization of a waiver on the requirement to dedicate as it does not physically preclude the Project from achieving the proposed density as shown on Project plans. 143
Item16.

A complete analysis of the Project, including the two identified issues, may be found within the attached Planning Commission staff report, dated November 12, 2024.

PRIOR ACTION
On November 12, 2024, the Pla nning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing for the Project. As discussed in Attachment “2,” staff recommended denial of the Project to the Planning Commission due to the omission of usable open space which is inconsistent with the City’s adopted 2012 General Plan.

During the November 12th meeting, the Planning Commission raised a number of concerns regarding the Project. In summary, the majority of the Planning Commission expressed that the Project was not consistent with the General Plan, and the merits of the Project did not warrant the land use change proposed by the Applicant. However, the Commission also expressed that granting of the General Plan Amendment would result in conversion of an underutilized building in to a use that is consistent with the surrounding area, and may address perceived notions of vagrancy on the subject parcel.

Ultimately, the Planning Commission voted 3 – 1 (one abstention, and two excused absences) to adopt Resolution No. 2024-20, recommending denial to the City Council of the Project as proposed.

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines (CEQA), the denial action is exempt from CEQA since it qualifies for statutory exemption section 15270 , which applies to projects that a public agency rejects or disapproves.

However, an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared for the Project and circulated for public review for a period of 20-days pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 1507 3. The Final Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration is attached as Attachment “3” for the City Council’s consideration in compliance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15074 (a).

If the City Council chooses to approve the Project, and direct staff to prepare a resolution/ordinance for approval of the Project, staff will also incorporate adoption of the Mitigated Negative Declaration and corresponding Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP), and file a Notice of Determination with the County Clerk of San Diego as directed in the approving documents.

CONCLUSION AND STAFF/PLANING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
The Project includes a request for several entitlements that would facilitate the conversion of an existing vacant building into residential units. For reasons discussed throughout this staff report, and the attached Planning Commission staff report (Attachment “ 2”), staff recommends denial of the General Plan Amendment which will result in the denial of all subsequent permits that require cons istency with the proposed General Plan Amendment. The Project as proposed is not consistent with the City’s adopted 144
Item16.

2012 General Plan which encourages high quality multifamily residential developments including, but not limited to, the provision of usable open space as enforced by the Escondido Zoning Code.

If the City Council chooses to approve the Project, and the City Council believes that the findings in support of the General Plan Amendment can be made (meaning the requested amendment aligns with the City’s adopted policies) and decides to move to approve the Project, then a motion to approve would need to address both issues 1 and 2 identified within this report.  Issue 1: City Council’s motion to approve would need to include language on how the Proje ct complies with General Plan Review and Amendment Policy 17.5 below.

General Plan Review and Amendment Policy 17.5: Identified physical, social, or city-wide economic factors or changes that have made the General Plan designation, policy statement goal, or intent in question inappropriate from the standpoint of the general public welfare. Unless the applicant provides substantial documentation that the changes have occurred, the GPA request shall be denied.

The City Council may choose to rely on the Appli cant’s justification for approval of the General Plan Amendment, which is incorporated in Attachment “1” – Findings Necessary for Approval of the Project. If the City Council chooses to approve the Project, draft conditions of approval are provided under Attachment “4” for reference.
 Issue 2: City Council’s motion to approve would need to specify whether or not the density bonus is consistent with the provisions of State Density Bonus Law and Article 67 of the Escondido Municipal Code and whether they are granting the requested waiver on the dedication requirement.

Based on the analysis contained in this staff report, and the Planning Commission Staff Report, dated November 12, 2024, staff recommend that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2024 -179 denying the requested General Plan Amendment, Zone Map Amendment, Master and Precise Plans for adoption of a Planned Development Zone and Permit, and a Design Review Permit for the facilitation of an existing office building into 21 residential units.

ALTERNATIVE CITY COUNCIL ACTION
If the City Council chooses to approve the Project, the following options are provided:

1. The City Council may table the Project to a date uncertain, and direct the Applicant to work with City Staff on a site design consistent with the City’s adopted General Plan. If the City Council opts to move forward with this option, staff recommend the Council provide specific guidance to the Applicant as to the nature of the Council’s direction.

145
Item16.

2. If the City Council disagrees with the Planning Commission’s recommendation to deny the Project, and believes the finding in support of the General Plan Amendment can be made then staff requests the City Council express an intent to approve the Project, and direct staff to draft resolution/ordinance of approval in their motion. In doing so, the City Council would also make clear within the motion the following items: justification in support of the General Plan Amendment’s required finding, as identified in this staff report; whether to grant t he requested waiver related to the required dedication; and adoption of the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program prepared for the Project.

General Plan Review and Amendment Policy 17.5: Identified physical, social, or city-wide economic factors or changes that have made the General Plan designation, policy statement goal, or intent in question inappropriate from the standpoint of the general public welfare. Unless the applicant provides substantial documentation that the changes have occurred, the GPA request shall be denied.

Applicant’s Substantiation of Request:

In August 2021, the Escondido City Council found that the rising housing costs and lack of affordable housing options have led to a rise in homelessness in the region, including within the City of Escondido. The conversion of underutilized office buildings to housing is a creative, adaptive reuse of existing buildings which can substantially reduce the cost redevelopment while maintaining the existing scale and character of establ ished neighborhoods. This type of redevelopment provides a much -needed housing type for those seeking housing at the lower end of the cost spectrum.

Therefore, Escondido Investments LLC (applicant) is requesting the City of Escondido (City) process a General Plan Amendment (GPA) and Zone Amendment (AZ) to allow the conversion of an existing medical office building located at 240 S. Hickory Street in Escondido (APN: 229 -492-14-00) to a 20 -unit, one - and two -bedroom multi -family residential development in accordance with Article 19, Planned Development (P-D) Zone, of the Escondido Municipal Code (EMC). The project site is approximately 0.69 acres in size and contains one, three -story structure historically used for medical offices. The existing building contains a total of approximately 16,885 square feet (sf) of gross building area. The site is surrounded by single -family residences and low -rise medical offices to the north, single -family residences to the east, condominiums and single -family residences to the south, and multi-family residences (Summit Apartments) to the west.

The project site has a land use designation of General Office (2.0 FAR) and the current zoning designation for the project site is Hospital Professional (H-P), which is considered a comme rcial zoning designation for interim development of medical or office use.

Attachment “1”

services in the East Valley neighborhood area, including at the project site. Adaptive re - use to housing units would allow for a land use consistent with the surrounding neighborhood and construction that would be minimally impactful since it would primarily involve interior changes.

The site would operate as a market -rate rental property offering a lower cost and stable long-term living situation. This would allow for a greater variety of housing availability for the community. In addition, the proposed physica l improvements will result in an enhanced environment for tenants and have a positive influence on the surrounding community. Overall, the conversion of an underutilized office building to multi -family residential units will be a benefit to the immediate neighborhood and community at large.

Overall, the conversion of an underutilized office building to multi -family residential units will be a benefit to the immediate neighborhood and community at large.

5. The planned development is well integrated with its settings, does not require excessive earthmoving or grading, or destruction of desirable natural features, nor is visually obstructive or disharmonious with surrounding areas and facilities, and does not substantially harm major views from adjacent properties The Project entails conversio n of an existing office building on a previously developed site, located within an urbanized area. No significant grading is required due to reuse of a vacant office building. The proposed Project does not result in any visually obstructive or disharmonious patterns of development, nor does it harm any major views due to the existing nature of the Project site.

6. The uses proposed have a beneficial effect not obtainable under existing zoning regulations. Any departure from existing ordinance requirements shal l be warranted by the design and the amenities incorporated in the planned development in accord with adopted city policy.

The proposed residential conversion has the potential to produce 19 above moderate and two low-income units toward the City’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA).

Attachment “1”

In August 2021, the Escondido City Council found that the rising housing costs and lack of affordable housing options have led to a rise in homelessness in the region, including within the City of Escondido. The conversion of underutilized office buildings to housing is a creative, adaptive reuse of existing buildings which can substantially reduce the cost redevelopment while maintaining the existing scale a nd character of established neighborhoods. This type of redevelopment provides a much -needed housing type for those seeking housing at the lower end of the cost spectrum.

The project site has a land use designation of General Office (2.0 FAR) and the current zoning designation for the project site is Hospital Professional (H-P), which is considered a commercial zoning designation for interim development of medical or office use.

Surrounding zoning and land use designations include H-P and Office to the north, Light- Multiple Residential (R-2-12) and Office to the east, R-2-12 and Urban II (U2) to the south, and Residential Planned Development (PD-R-12) and U2 to the west. With the demolition and subsequent planned redevelopment of the old Palomar Hospital property, the surrounding area is seeing a decline in the need or demand for medica l office support services in the East Valley neighborhood area, including at the project site. Adaptive re - use to housing units would allow for a land use consistent with the surrounding neighborhood and construction that would be minimally impactful since it would primarily involve interior changes.

The site would operate as a market -rate rental property offering a lower cost and stable long-term living situation. This would allow for a greater variety of housing availability for the community. In addition , the proposed physical improvements will result in an enhanced environment for tenants and have a positive influence on the surrounding community.

BACKGROUND
In April of 2023, Escondido Investments LLC (“Applicant”) submitted a request for initiation of a General Plan Map Amendment (GPA) to the City Council. The Escondido Zoning Code requires authorization from the City Council prior to staff processing the proposed GPA, and includes several details of the proposed project.

The staff report for that General Plan amendment authorization noted that while it was possible for the initial project description to change, any “changes will be reviewed to ensure they me et the strategic goals identified in the General Plan” (see Attachment 1 – City Council staff report, dated April 2023). As detailed in Attachment 1, the applicant represented that the project would include “open space and common areas…[the] the project wo uld include approximately 2,800 square -feet of common area.” As discussed throughout this staff report, the Project no longer includes open space, and is not consistent with the strategic goals and polices of the City’s adopted 2012 General Plan.

The project site is located at the northeast corner of Hickory Street and 3 rd Avenue, and is addressed as 2 40 S.

Hickory Street (APN: 229-492-14-00). The property is within the Office (O) General Plan Land Use designation, and is zoned Hospital Professional (H-P) (see Attachment 2 – Aerial, General Plan, and Zoning). The property previously operated as an office building, which included occupancy by medical office tenants (e.g., dental office). The Project site also includes prior approvals of Plot Plan (ADM14-0100) to allow for wireless communication facilities, which currently exist on the building’s roof. The Applicant proposed to continue to operate the wireless communication facilities under this request.

Surrounding zoning designations to the site include Hospital Professional and Multi-family Residential (H-P and R- 2-12) to the north; Planned Development Residential to the west (PD-R-12); and Multifamily Residential (R-2-12) to the south and west. The project site is surrounded by existing development, with a mix of medical office and single- family residences located directly to the north and east, and a mix of multifamily and single-family residences located to the south and west.

As detailed in the summary of request below, the proposed project includes a General Plan Amendment, along with a Zone Map Amendment, Planned Development Permit, and Design Review Permit. As detailed in Table 1 below, there are several actions that require City Council review and approval. The role of the Planning Commission is to make a recommendation to the City Council on the aforementioned entitlements.

SUMMARY OF REQUEST
The Applicant submitted a request to convert an existing office building into 21 residential dwelling units for the property located at 240 South Hickory Street. The request includes the following land use applications: a General Plan Amendment to amend the land use designation from Office (O) to Urban V (U5) to permit residential uses at a maximum residential density of 30 dwelling units per acre; a Zone Map Amendment to rezone the subject property from Hospital Profession ( H-P) to Very High Mult ifamily Residential (R -5); a Master Plan and Precise Plan for adoption of a Planned Development Permit and Zone; and a Design Review Permit for the conversion of an existing 19,431 square-foot office building into 21 residential dwelling units (“Project”) (see Attachment 3 – Project Plans).

The Project also includes a Density Bonus Request to exceed the maximum allowable density as established by the proposed U5 General Plan land use designation.

ISSUES/CONCERNS
The City’s Staff Development Committee (SDC) reviewed the proposed Project for compliance with City regulations and standards. Based on requirements of the entitlements requested, staff recommend denial of the proposed General Plan Amendment. The reasoning for staff’s recommendation is summarized below:

1. Inconsistency with General Plan policies
As detailed in this staff report, and attached draft resolution, the proposed Project is inconsistent with General Plan policies that are required for approval of the requested General Plan Amendment. Therefore, staff are unable to make the findings required to support a General Plan Amendment.

2. Denial of subsequent Permits
All of the subsequent requests are dependent on the General Pla n Amendment. Should the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 2024 -20 recommending denial of the General Plan Amendment for the reasons discussed under the Project Analysis section of this report, the remaining requested entitlements (i.e., Zone Map Amendment, Planned Development Permit, and Design Review Permit) would be inconsistent with the existing General Plan land 13 Item 2.

Item16.
use designation and therefore also be denied (i.e., a residential development request on a site with a non-residential land use designation). Residential uses are not permitted within the Hospital Professional (H -P) zoning district, or the Office (O) land use designation.

Should the Planning Commission choose not to adopt Resolution No. 2024-20 and instead recommend approval of the proposed Project to the City Council, the Planning Commission would be required to provide direction to staff on how the Project complies with the findings as outlined in section 33-1263 (Factors to be Considered) of Article 61 (Administration and Enfor cement), Section 33 -403 (Findings of the Planning Commission and City Council) of Article 19 (Planned Development Zones), and Section 33-1359 (Findings) of Article 64 (Design Review) . In certain instances, staff are able to support some of the applicable findings. The findings for each permit, as substantiated by staff for denial, are outlined under Exhibit “B” in the attached draft Resolution No. 2024-20 (see Attachment 4 – draft resolution). Those findings the Commission would need to make to recommend approval of the Project are attached for reference to this staff report in the event the Commission chooses not to adopt Resolution No. 2024- 20 (see Attachment 5 – Findings for Approval).

Additionally, as described under the Analysis section of this report, City staff do not concur with the Applicant’s use of a requested waiver from development standards. In the event the Commission decides to direct staff to return with documents to approve the Project, the Commission would need to direct staff on whether to deny the requested waiver or grant the waiver as requested. Refer to Attachment 5 for guidance on the Commission’s options.

To summarize, in the event the Commission recommends approval of the proposed Project, the Commission would need to provide City staff with the justification for approval. In the event the Commission does not adopt Resolution No. 2024-20 (i.e., recommends approval), staff will return with an updated resolution recommending approval to the City Council based on the findings the Commission substantiates for the proposed Project at the December 10, 2024 Planning Commission meeting. City staff would also return with a recommendation to adopt the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for the Project for action by decision makers.

PROJECT ANALYSIS

1. General Plan Conformance:
a. Land Use and Community Form
Figure II -6 - General Plan Land Use Designations , Urban IV and V: “Multi-family development includes common open space and recreational amenities”
The intent of the Urban V (U5) land use designation is to permit residential densities up to 30 dwelling units per acre. The Project includes a request to amend the General Plan land use designation from Office (O) to U5 to accommodate a density consistent with the proposed General Plan land use designation. However, the Project as proposed does not include any common/private open space, nor does it include any on-site recreational amenities. Article 6 (Residential Zones) of Chapter 33 (Escondido Zoning Code) enforces the requirement for common/private open space to implement goals and policies of the City’s 2012 General Plan relative to new development. Based on the proposed unit count, a total of 6,400 square-feet usable open space is required; however, the Project, as designed and proposed, does not provide any open space. An approval of the General Plan Amendment would be inconsistent with the City’s goals and policies for residential development within the City.
15 Item 2.

Attachment "2"
171
Item16.
b. Community Health and Services
Health and Wellness Policy 1.1: Encourage the revitalization of existing urban areas to achieve improvements in overall public health by promoting a healthier living environment that includes walkable neighborhoods and access to recreation and open space, healthy foods, medical services, and transit.

The Applicant seeks to amend the land use designation for the property to allow for a multifamily use through the revitalization of a vacant office building. An aerial view of surrounding apartment complexes (Summit Apartments, Rosewood Villas, Montecristo Villas South, and Montecristo Villas) shows the presence of recreational and open spaces for these multifamily developments in alignment with City policy. The Project site is located within approximately one-half mile of Grape Day Park and one-quarter mile of Heritage Garden ; however , the Applicant’s proposal to not include recreation and/or common open space is inconsistent with the City’s Goal and Policies that encourage active healthy leaving and is out of character with surrounding multifamily development which maintain some form of open space as required by the Escondido Zoning Code. c. Housing Element and “No Net Loss”
The Project site is not identified in the City’s General Plan Housing Element Suitable Sites Inventory for the 6th RHNA Planning Cycle. Because the provision of “no net loss” applies to housing located on any site listed in the City’s Housing Element, the City does not need to determine if this project or a decision related to this project would be subject to No Net Loss Law and its remedies.

Although, the Project site is not located on the City’s Suitable Sites Inventory as identified in the adopted 6th Cycle Housing Element, denial of the General Plan Amendment would not result in the City’s inability to meet the housing needs of the community. The City has identified over 880 sites that are deemed suitable for development in an effort to assist the City in achieving its regional housing need.

2. Zoning Conformance:

The Project site is located within the Hospital Professional (H -P) zoning district. As outlined in Article 16 (Commercial Zones) of the EZC, properties within the H-P zone are subject to the Professional Commercial (C-P) zone. Residential uses are not permitted within the C-P zoning district by-right or via conditional use permit. The Project includes a request to rezone the subject property to Very High Multifamily Residential (R-5) in order to facilitate the residential use and the adoption of a Planned D evelopment Zone (PD) for reductions in setbacks. However, Planned Developments may only include uses that are exclusively permitted by the underlying zoning district, and due to the C -P zoning not allowing residential uses, the Planned Development for resi dential purposes may not be adopted. Additionally, while Planned Development Permits encourage creative approaches to use of land and establish more flexible regulatory procedures (Section 33-400(b-c)) they specifically serve to promote and create private open spaces as an integral part of land development design. Therefore, unless the General Plan Amendment is approved, the proposed use of the site would remain limited to commercial/office uses.

3. Climate Action Plan Consistency:
16 Item 2.

Attachment "2"
172
Item16.

The Project includes a General Plan Amendment which is not subject to the Climate Action Plan consistency checklist. A project-specific Air Quality/Greenhouse Gas Emissions study was conducted, and found that the emissions from the Project woul d be less than significant as discussed in the draft Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration that was prepared for the Project.

4. Density Bonus
The Project includes a density bonus request to exceed the allowable density permitted under the proposed General Plan Amendment. The Project would provide a total of two low-income-units (“target units”), and is allowed two additional units (“bonus units ”) pursuant to Article 67 (Density Bonus and Residential Incentives); however, the Applicant proposes to only utilize one bonus unit for a total of 21 dwelling units.

In addition to increased density, the Project is eligible for one incentive/concession, and unlimited waivers from development standards . As defined in State Density Bonus Law (SDBL) and Article 67 , an incentive/concession can include a reduction or elimination of site development standards, zoning code requirement, etc. that will result in an identifiable cost reduction to achieve the proposed density. Whereas a waiver is a reduction in a development standard (setbacks, parking, height, etc.) that physically precludes the development of the proposed housing units. The Applicant requests the use of their one incentive/concession to remove the requirement to resurface and reconstruct the adjacent alley frontage with a gutter . Additionally, the Applicant requests the use of four waivers of development standards to modify or remove the following zoning code requirements: 1) required covered parking, 2) required open space for multifamily residential developments , 3) required 2’ -0” dedication along the site’s alleyway frontage, and 4) required landscaping within the off-street parking area (see Attachment 6 – Density Bonus Request.

Staff identified an issue surrounding one of the requested four waivers. Based on the information provided by the Applicant, the 2’ -0” dedication requirement along the alleyway does not physically impede the Project’s ability to be developed at the proposed density . Therefore, the request to waive the dedication requirement does not meet the definition of a waiver under SDBL.

Ultimately, the Project may not be approved unless the General Plan Amendment is granted, since without that Amendment the Project site would retain the land use designation of Office (O).

5. Site Design
a. Grading, topography, retaining wall, and fencing:

The Project site is an existing developed property, and contains a change in topography along E 3rd Avenue. No significant grading is proposed for the site as a part of the request. The request includes proposal of a new 3’-6” fence along the Project’s frontages. b. Project Access and Circulation:

The Project site maintains an existing driveway on Hickory Street, and also access from the alleyway.

No changes are proposed to the on-site circulation.
17 Item 2.

Attachment "2"
173
Item16.
c. Building Orientation:

The existing building is located at the corner of 3rd Avenue and Hickory Street, and no changes are proposed to the orientation of the building. The p rimary access to the building is proposed to remain and is provided from a sidewalk located on Hickory Street. Currently a secondary access to the building is located on 3rd Avenue via a connecting pedestrian bridge; however, the proposed Project includes removal of this secondary access.
d. Open Space and Landscaping
The Project as prop osed does not include any additional landscaping, or propose any open space as required by the Escondido Zoning Code for multifamily residential developments. e. Parking:

Based on the number of bedrooms, per unit, the proposed Project requires a total 40 off -street parking spaces. The site currently has 59 off-street parking spaces, and proposes the removal of six for a total of 53 spaces. Covered parking is required pursuant to Article 39; however, the Applicant’s request entails removal of all covered parking as a part of their density bonus proposal.

6. Building Design:
a. Building Height, Mass, and Scale:

The proposed Project entails the conversion of a vacant office building into residential units. No changes are proposed to the building’s height, mass, or scale. The existing building conforms to the height limitations of the requested R-5 zone.
b. Residential Floor Plans:

The proposed Project includes a mix of one- and two- bedroom units ranging from 419 square-feet to 720 square-feet.
c. Building Materials:

The proposed Project does not introduce new building material to the existing office building; however, a new gray paint scheme is proposed.

FISCAL ANALYSIS
Disapproval of the Project would not result in the issuance of building permits, and development impact fees would not be collected.
18 Item 2.

Attachment "2"
174
Item16.

ENVIRONMENTIAL ANALYSIS
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines (CEQA), the denial of the Project is statutorily exempt from CEQA pursuant to section 15270 which applies to projects that a public agency rejects or disapproves.

However, an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared for the Project and circulated for public review for a period of 30 -days pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15 073. The Final Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration is attached as attachment 7 for the Planning Commission’s consideration in compliance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15074 (a).

Should staff’s recommendation to deny be overturned, the Project does have a draft Final Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration prepared for review and adoption by the City Council.

PUBLIC INPUT
City staff noticed the proposed Project in accordance with State Law, and Article 61 (Administra tion and Enforcement) of the Escondido Zoning Code. As of the publishing of this report, no public comments have been received.

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
The Applicant proposes the conversion of a vacant office building into 21 residential dwelling units. The Project as proposed requires and includes several entitlements necessary for the conversion into residential units. The proposed Project requires a General Plan Ame ndment to change from a nonresidential designation to one that permits for residential uses; a Zone Map Amendment to rezone the subject property to a zoning district that is consistent with the proposed General Plan land use designation; a Planned Development Permit and adoption of a Planned Development zone to permit for an existing building that is nonconforming with required setbacks for the proposed residential zone; and a Design Review Permit for the proposed site changes . However, based on the analysis contained in this staff report, approval of the General Plan Amendment is inconsistent with the City’s 2012 General Plan policies that encourage the development of high -quality residential buildings, including, but not limited to the provision of open sp ace and amenities for residents. As a result of the proposed Project’s inconsistency with the General Plan, staff recommend denial of the General Plan Amendment. Due to the recommendation of denial for the General Plan Amendment, staff also recommend denia l on the subsequent requested entitlements, all of which are dependent on the General Plan Amendment’s approval . Therefore, staff recommend the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 2024-20 recommending denial of the proposed Project to City Council.

Alternatively, the Planning Commission may direct staff to return with a resolution recommending approval of the proposed Project, based on findings the Commission provides substantiating the proposed Project is consistent with the goals and policies of the City’s 2012 General Plan.

SUBJECT

REQUEST FOR AUTHORIZATION TO PROCESS A GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT OF A COMMERCIAL PROPERTY ADDRESSED AT 240 S. HICKORY STREET (PL23-0128)

DEPARTMENT
Development Services Department, Planning Division

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Request that the City Council authorize City staff to accept and process an application for an amendment to the General Plan land -use designation from Office (O) to Urban V (U5) with a density of up to 30 dwelling units per acre (du/ac).

Staff Recommendation: Approval (Development Services Department: Andrew Firestine , Director of Development Services)
Presenter: Jay Paul, Senior Planner

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Development Services Department received a request from Howes/Weiler/Landy (“Applicant”) on behalf of Escondido Investments, LLC to initiate a General Plan Amendment of the subject parcel from Office (O) to Urban V (U5). This proposed General Plan Amendment would facilitate the conversion of an existing three-story office/commercial building to multi-family residential development with a density up to 30 du/ac and potential yield of up to approximately 20 units.

The City Council is being asked to dete rmine whether or not to authorize an application to amend the General Plan land-use designation for the subject parcel. Authorizing this request does not have a legally binding effect on any possible future discretionary action. This direction does not reflect whether the City Council would ultimately approve the request or the proposed project. The City Council’s formal action on the General Plan Amendment and project would be taken in the future at a public hearing with a recommendation from the Planning Commission.

LOCATION
The 0.69-acre parcel is located on the northeast corner of S. Hickory Street and E. 3rd Avenue, addressed at 240 S. Hickory Street (Assessor Parcel Number 229-492-14-00) and is depicted in Attachment “1” to this staff report.

FISCAL ANALYSIS
Authorization to process this General Plan Amendment would have no direct fiscal impact. The privately initiated request, if and when submitted, would be processed using existing staff resources with costs to be paid by the project applic ant. Future redevelopment of the property would require on - and off-site improvements to conform to current design standards. The applicant would be responsible for constructing these improvements. As part of the overall decision -making process to move forward with a proposed development project, it is important to evaluate the contributions and demands that development will place upon a public agency’s general fund and the city or county’s ability to provide ongoing public services. To avoid the need fo r a city or county to subsidize new development, cities and counties can establish or require special funding mechanisms to ensure that new development pays for itself. At the time of this writing, an applicant is required to fully offset potential impact s to the General Fund created by their project. This can be accomplished through either formation of a Community Facilities District (“CFD”), annexation into CFD No. 2020 -01, or establishment of another lawful funding mechanism reasonably acceptable to the City (“Public Services Funding Agreement”). It should be noted, however, that the City Council has directed staff to look at the current policy and bring back recommendations that may modify this requirement.

BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
In accordance with section 33-1261 of the Zoning Code, a property owner may petition for an amendment to the General Plan by filing a formal request/letter with the Planning Division and the planning staff schedules a review of the request at a City Council meeting. The Ci ty Council considers the request and determines whether to allow formal application for processing. If the request is authorized for processing, the interested parties will be advised to submit required application(s) with the City’s Planning Division, which will include initial environmental documentation, submittal of all fees/deposits, and project plans, etc. The proposed amendment to the General Plan and associated project will require consideration by the Planning Commission and City Council at noticed public hearings.

A letter of intent was submitted for consideration to initiate the amendment to the General Plan, and the letter provides additional information on the intent of the application (Attachment “2”). Planning staff has met with the applic ant to discuss some preliminary issues related to the feasibility of the request, possible environmental and design concerns, and the procedures to be followed through the process. It is anticipated the application will include request s for the General Plan Amendment, a Zone Change to either R-5-30 (Multi-Family Residential, up to 30 du/ac) or Planned Development-Residential – 30.0 du/ac, 559

Item16.
a Master and a Precise Development Plan or Plot Plan. Details of the proposed project will be analy zed by city staff once a formal application is submitted. It is possible the initial project description may require changes as a result of issues identified during review of the project. Any changes will be reviewed to ensure they meet the strategic goals identified in the General Plan.

The current General Plan designation for the project site and surrounding area is shown in Attachment ”3”. The project site is located outside of the Downtown Specific Planning Area and East Valley Commercial corridor, a nd is currently developed with a three -story commercial/office building with an underlying zoning designation of Hospital Profession (HP). The surrounding neighborhood generally consists of a mix of medium density multi -family residential and single -family residential development.

Office/commercial development is located further to the north along with the Palomar Heights mixed-use multi-family project currently under construction. The parcel is located in close proximity (one block south) of the propose d East Valley Specific Plan that envisions a land -use designation of Urban IV/V for the parcels north of the subject site as identified in Attachment “4”.

In accordance with State law, a General Plan may not be amended more than four times in a calendar year. To date, two General Plan Amendments have been approved this year (Housing Element Update and North Iris Residential Project). The East Valley Parkway Specific Plan/General Plan Amendment is currently being processed and is anticipated to be consider ed by the Planning Commission and City Council later this calendar year. This proposed project would constitute the fourth amendment request and staff anticipates a fifth amendment request to be considered for potential Council initiation in May.

Although these requests may be initiated for processing this calendar year, the more complex projects most likely would not be considered by the Council until calendar year 2024. Depending on the timing of individual applications, requests to amend the General Plan may be bundled into a single amendment.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The request to initiate a General Plan Amendment is statutorily exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15262, Feasibility and Planning Studies, which states that “ A Project involving only feasibility or planning studies for possible future actions which the agency, board, or commission has not approved, adopted, or funded does not require the preparation of an EIR of Negative Declaration .” Because the request involves only the consideration of whether to process an application for an amendment of the General Plan, and not the amendment itself, action taken by the City Council on this item provides only general direction and does not have a legally binding effect on any possible future discretionary action.

In accordance with CEQA, all Project requests are required to have an environmental assessment to determine potential environmental impact, if any. The proposed project, if submitted, will be subject to environmental assessment to determine potential environmental impacts in accordance with CEQA. 560
