facility devel opment on the Property. The City deemed the application complete on May 1, 2025.

The project involves constructing an 11,767 -square-foot Krishna Temple with traditional Hindu design, which consists of three structures: a 6,221-square-foot Krishna Temple, a 4,733-square- foot monks’ quarters, and an 813-square-foot bathroom building, all to support various religious services and functions for ISKCON’s congregation. The 6,221-square-foot temple includes an altar area and worship support space, both accessible only to monks and priests, along with a large temple hall. The hall serves as th e gathering space for religious services and programs, with a maximum occupancy of 220 people.

Badrinarayan Swami has been a religious and spiritual leader of ISKCON in the San Diego area and beyond for decades, and for the Temple project at the Property since the late 1990s. He was centrally involved in the earlier (2000) process to obtain City approvals for the previous , larger T emple facility and has been integrally involved in the current Temple proposal.

Badrinarayan Swami provided to me the following information about the Property and the Hindu Temple project(s) there:

The land itself for the proposed Temple is sacred space. After a two-and-a-half-year search, and before purchasing the land more than 25 years ago, the members of the Temple consulted Hindu scriptures and worked with Hindu scholars and architects in India to find property suitable for a proper temple. The criteria for locating a temple are limited and demanding: the parcel must be cow-shaped, with the highest point at the north and sloping to the south. There must be hills to the east, open area to the west, and water flowing across the land. Five types of fruit trees must be able to grow and sprout similarly on the land. And the space must be large enough to accommodate a temple and monks' quarters. From the land comes the design of the temple.

The Hindu scriptures dictate the architectural elements, the positio ning of Deities, and the locations of worship sites. Once the temple land is purchased, it is blessed for its use. The blessing is permanent; it cannot be undone.

Here, the temple land on Rincon Avenue in the City meets these specific Hindu religious and spiritual criteria and has been blessed. It is a spiritually designated space and is now considered sacred land.

It is the long held and deeply cherished desire of ISKCON’s congregation to build a temple containing traditional Hindu design elements. Currently, the Hindu temples in the greater San Diego area are in warehouses, strip malls, and former military barracks or factories. ISKCON wants to build something future generations will be proud of and that carry on its religious heritage. The proposed Temple on the Property meets this vision.

Moreover, the land is located in North County San Diego near te mple members. This is needed because the classroom space in the cultural hall is designated for ancillary education and services for youth and temple members . These include activities such as “Sunday” school, weekday evening scripture classes, and music lessons for traditional Indian instruments. These sessions are not advertised publicly and are reserved for congregation members and their guests. The ancillary Sunday children's classes would not operate independently of the religious facility. They are expected to serve children and youth attending the regular services. All classes and courses would take place in the classroom within the cultural hall. .

My client’s concern is that the members of this honorable Council might not be fully aware of the implications of the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA) if they decide to deny the CUP, DRP and other permits requested, which were approved by the City Planning Commission. Let me clarify.

In September 2000, Congress unanimously passed RLUIPA after numerous public hearings where it learned that local governments posed a unique threat to religious liberty in denying religious entities to construct suitable houses of worship. The congressional protections under RLUIPA are interpreted broadly, to the fullest extent allowed by law and the Constitution, to offer the greatest safeguard for religious exercise. Guru Nanak Sikh Soc’y v. Cnty. of Sutter, 456 F.3d 978, 985 (9th Cir. 2006). The law seeks to protect religious organizations from harmful land use decisions and is part of Congress’s ongoing efforts to defend First Amendment rights, especially related to land use and zoning laws. Cutter v. Wilkinson, 544 U.S. 709, 714-15 (2005).

In their joint statement to the Senate about RLUIPA, co -sponsors Senators Orrin Hatch and Edward Kennedy observed:

The right to assemble for worship is at the very core of the free exercise of religion. Churches and synagogues cannot function without a physical space adequate to their needs and consistent with their theological requirements. The right to build, buy, or rent such a space is an indispensable adjunct of the core First Amendment right to assemble for religious purposes. 146 Cong. Rec. S7774 (July 27, 2000).

Concerned that “[c]hurches in general and new, small, or unfamiliar churches in particular, are frequently discriminated against …in the highly individualized and discretionary processes of land use regulation,” the Senators described how some “[zoning] co des permit churches only with individualized permission from the zoning board, and zoning boards use that authority in discriminatory ways.” Id. The Senators further noted “discrimination lurks behind such vague and Attachment "3"

universally applicable reasons as traffic, aesthetics, or ‘not consistent with the city’s land use plan.” Id.

Courts in this circuit have agreed with Congress in recognizing that for a religious institution, having a place of worship is at the very core of the free exercise of See, Int'l Church of Foursquare Gospel v. City of San Leandro, 673 F.3d 1059, 1069-70 (9th Cir. 2011) (citing Vietnamese Buddhism Study Temple in Am. v. City of Garden Grove , 460 F.Supp.2d 1165, 1171 (C.D.Cal.2006) (quoting 146 Cong. Rec. 87774 -01, Exhibit 1 (daily ed. July 27, 2000) (joint statement

Under RLUIPA’s Substantial Burden, found at 42 U.S.C. § 2000cc(a)(1) clause:

No government shall impose or implement a land use regulation in a manner that imposes a substantial burden on the religious exercise of a person, including a religious assembly or institution, unless the government demonstrates that imposition of the burden on that person, assembly, or institution

(A) is in furtherance of a compelling governmental interest; and

(B) is the least restrictive means of furthering that compelling governmental interest.

Congress broadly defined “religious exercise” to include “any exercise of religion, whether or not compelled by, or central to, a system of religious belief,” and specified the “use, building, or conversion of real property for the purpose of religious exe rcise shall be considered to be religious exercise of the person or entity that uses or intends to use the property for that purpose.” 42 U.S.C. § 2000cc -5(7). Congress further clarified RLUIPA is to be “construed in favor of a broad protection of religious exercise, to the maximum extent permitted by the terms of this chapter and the Constitution.” 42 U.S.C. § 2000cc -3(g). The religious use must first show the City has implemented a land use regulation that imposes a substantial burden its religious exercise; the burden then shifts to the City to show the burden furthers a compelling government interest and is the least restrictive means of furthering that interest. 42 U.S.C. § 2000cc- 2(b).

It is clear that a denial of the DRP and CUP for the Temple will result in a substantial burden on ISKCON’s religious exercise. While RLUIPA does not define the term “substantial burden,” case law is instructive. Binding Ninth Circuit precedent has found that the following factor are relevant in determining the existence of a substantial burden:

Attachment "3"

• Whether the government's reasons for denying an application were arbitrary, such that they could easily apply to future applications by the religious group . New Harvest Christian Fellowship v. City of Salinas, 29 F.4th 596, 602 (9th Cir. 2022).

• Whether the religious group was precluded from using other sites in the city. Int'l Church of Foursquare Gospel v. City of San Leandro, 673 F.3d 1059, 1067, 1070 (9th Cir. 2011).

• Whether the religious group has ready alternatives available to it. San Jose Christian Coll. v. City of Morgan Hill, 360 F.3d 1024, 1035-36 (9th Cir. 2004).

• Whether the alternatives would entail substantial uncertainty, delay, or expens e. Guru Nanak Sikh Soc. of Yuba City v. County of Sutter, 456 F.3d 978, 998 (9th Cir. 2006).

Here, if the City Council arbitrarily denies the RP and CUP and other Temple permits, ISKCON will be completely barred from using the property it owns for religious assembly purposes.

Denying an application is arbitrary, making it difficult for my client to easily apply for future applications by the religious group. Further, ISKCON has emphasized that its core religious mission requires worship at its Escondido site, as there are no suitable alternatives for building the temple. The city lacks any other suitable and sacred locations where this development could be established, leaving no options. Moreover, if you deny ISKCON’s CUP, DRP and other permits approval based on wholly unsubstantiated concerns, the City Council will prevent my client from using the Property, which would involve substantial uncertainty, delay, or expense.

Thus, an adverse decision will, “a significantly great restriction or onus upon” ISKCON’s religious exercise. San Jose Chr. College, 360 F.3d at 1034. By barring the ISKCON’s congregation from worshiping together as one spiritual family at the Property, the actions are undoubtedly “more than an inconvenience” on ISKCON’s religious exercise. Guru Nanak, 456 F.3d at 988. Rather, it is a “substantial burden” on the Free Exercise of Religion. New Harvest Christian Fellowship v.

City of Salinas, 29 F.4th 596, 602 (9th Cir. 2022).

Once a Court finds a municipality’s actions impose a substantial burden on religious exercise, the burden shifts to the municipal defendant to prove that imposing a substantial burden on religious exercise is in furtherance of a compelling governmental interest and the least restrictive means of furthering that compelling interest. See 42 U.S.C. § 2000cc(a)(1); 42 U.S.C. § 2000cc - 2(b).

Compelling state interests are “interests of the highest order.” Church of Lukumi Babalu Aye, Inc. v. City of Hialeah, 508 U.S. 520, 546 (1993). Such interests include protecting public health, safety or welfare. Wisconsin v. Yoder, 406 U.S. 205, 215 (1972) ("Only those interests of the highest order and those not otherwise served can overbalance legitimate claims to the free Attachment "3"

exercise of religion."); Sherbert v. Verner, 374 U.S. 398, 406 (1963) ("[O]nly the gravest abuses, endangering paramount interests, give occasion for permissible limitation."). "Demonstrating a compelling interest and showing that it has adopted the least restrictive means of achieving that interest is the most demanding test known to constitutional law." City of Boerne v.

Flores, 521 U.S. 507, 534 (1997). The standard “is not watered…down but really means what it says.'" Lukumi, 508 U.S. at 546 (internal citations omitted). Thus, the government must “show a compelling interest…in the particular case at hand, not a compelling interest in general.” Westchester Day Sch. v. Vill. of Mamaroneck, 504 F.3d 338, 353 (2d Cir. 2007).

Here, there is no compelling interest to deny the CUP, DRP and other permit requests for the Temple facility. The staff report and City Planning Commission recommendation, along with the prior City approvals of the much larger religious facility in 2000 , clearly demonstrate that the proposed use is appropriate at this sacred location. According to the United States Department of Justice, “a county or municipality cannot simply point to an interest in traffic safety in the abstract as a compelling interest justifying a substantial burden on religious exercise. Rather, the government must show that it has a compelling interest in achieving that interest through the particular restriction at issue, such as safety interests in regulating traffic flow on the particular street at issue.”
1 Thus, based on the record, and the testimony at the Planning Commission’s public hearing, it is plain that the City has no compelling interest to justify outright denial of the ISKCON’s ability to use the Property for religious purposes.

Finally, even if the City could show its purported interest is compelling, it must also show it employed the least restrictive means of furthering that interest. 42 U.S.C. § 2000cc(a)(1)(B). In other words, the City must show its interests could not have been achiev ed by narrower action that burdens ISKCON to a lesser degree. Elsinore Chr. Ctr. v. City of Lake Elsinore, 291 F. Supp. 2d 1083, 1095 (C.D. Cal. 2003). The City cannot do so. In approving ISKCON’s DRP and CUP requests, the Planning Commission imposed conditions intended to alleviate the concerns expressed by area residents. By ignoring the Planning Commission, the City would be employing the most restrictive means possible to further its interests. There is simply no possible, conceivable, or rational way the City can show the outright ban on using the Property for religious purposes constitutes the least restrictive means of the City furthering its interests.

In sum, there is no genuine issue of material fact that a denial of the Site Development and Conditional Use Permits would result in a violation of RLUIPA’s Substantial Burden Clause.

Additionally, recent decisions from the United States Supreme Court mark a dramatic shift in Free Exercise jurisprudence as evidenced by the shift from strict adherence to the deferential analysis announced in Employment Division, Department of Human Resources of Oregon v Smith, 494 U.S. 872 (1990), to a much more rigorous inquiry into the neutrality and general applicability of laws. See e.g. Tandon v. Newsom, 593 U.S. 61, 62 (2021). It is long recognized a government restriction which is neither neutral nor generally applicable but is meant to “infringe upon or restrict practices because of their religious motivation” is subject to strict scrutiny.

Church of Lukumi Babalu Aye, Inc. v. City of Hileah, 508 U.S. 520, 533, 546 (1993). “Failing either the neutrality or general applicability test is sufficient to trigger strict scrutiny.” Kennedy v.

Bremerton School District, 597 U.S. 507, 526 (2022).

The creation of a formal mechanism for granting exceptions renders a policy not generally applicable, regardless of whether any exceptions have been given, because it “invites the government to decide which reasons for not complying with the policy are worthy of solicitude.” Fulton v. City of Philadelphia , 539 U.S. 522, 536 –538 (2021). “A law also lacks general applicability if it prohibits religious conduct while permitting secular conduct that undermines the government’s asserted interests in a similar way.” Id. at 534. Government regulations are not neutral nor generally applicable, and thus subject to strict scrutiny, “whenever they treat any comparable secular activity more favorably than religious exercise.” Tandon, 593 U.S. at 62.

Additionally, “[i]t is no answer that a State treats some comparable secular business or other activities as poorly as or even less favorably than the religious exercise at issue.” Tandon, 593 U.S. at 62. “Comparability is concerned with the risks various activities pose,” to the asserted governmental interests. Tandon, 593 U.S. at 62. A law fails the neutrality prong “when it proceeds in a manner intolerant of religious beliefs or restricts practices because of their religious nature.” Fulton, 593 U.S. at 533 (internal citation omitted) Applying Tandon and Fulton, it is clear that the City’s discretion on approving or denying a conditional use permit completely lacks generality or neutrality.

By including a process for discretion , the City’s land development code introduces multiple “formal mechanisms for granting exceptions.” Fulton, 539 U.S. at 536. The City's Zoning Code (Code) includes specific procedures that allow the City to officially approve projects that do not comply with every rule exactly, effectively granting discretionary exceptions. The discretion process in the Code enables decision-makers to make judgments and depart from standard rules. This includes variances, which allow a property owner to be exempt from strict Code requirements; Conditional Use Permits, which permit a generally acceptable use that might be incompatible with the immediate area unless certain conditions are met; Planned Unit Developments (PUDs), a comprehensive process permitting developers to design projects that significantly deviate from standard Code requirements in exchange for improved design or public benefits; and Administrative Adjustments, minor staff-level approvals for slight deviations Attachment "3"

from standards that do not impact the public. This process is included because development is inherently complex, and a uniform approach often isn’t practical or desirable for unique parcels, innovative designs, or projects serving specific public needs. This alone renders the C ity’s administration of the Code inapplicable.

I write this letter merely to express concerns raised by my client in this matter. We look forward approval of all Temple facility permits. Naturally, if you have any questions regarding this matter, please feel free to contact me. I remain,

Very truly yours,

BACKGROUND
Site Information: The Project site is comprised of two parcels, and is located east of the intersection of Conway Avenue and Rincon Avenue, on the south side of Rincon Avenue, and is addressed as 1315 and 1365 Rincon Avenue, Escondido, 92027 (APNs: 224-100-84-00 and 224-100-85-00) (“Property”). The Property is located within the Estate II (E2) General Plan Land Use Designation and has a zoning designation of Residential Estate, with a 20,000 square- foot minimum lot size requirement (RE-20) (Attachment 1 – Location, Land Use, and Zoning) . The Project site is located on the Suitable Sites Inventory, Appendix B of the City’s adopted Housing Element.

The Property is mostly vacant with one currently occupied single-family-dwelling located in the eastern portion of the Project site, that will remain on-site for a property caretaker. An additional existing single-family residential unit is located wholly within a separate legal parcel that is not a part of this Project and is not owned by the Applicant.

According to the Applicant, the Property was historically utilized for animal keeping as permitted in the RE-20 zoning district. The surrounding General Plan and zoning designations, along with the existing land use on those surrounding properties, are identified in Table 1 below:

East E2/County Zoning Vacant open space/agricultural in County of San Diego South E2/Planned Development (PD) Single-family residential West E2/R-E Single-family residential subdivision, open space Prior Actions on Property: On May 23, 2000, the Planning Commission approved a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) (Case No. 99 -50-CUP) for the proposed ISKCON Cultural Center on the Property. The CUP consisted of a 32,000 square-foot, 71-foot high, cultural hall with an auditorium, classrooms for a K-8 school (up to 24 students), kitchen and book shops. The project also included a 7,200 square foot dormitory for temple monks, and nuns, along with 224 on -site parking spaces. On June 28, 20 00, the City Council denied an appeal of the Planning Commission’s decision to approve the CUP. That City Council decision allowed the CUP approval to stand. Ultimately, t he previously approved project was not constructed, and the CUP subsequently expired.

On January 8, 2003, a separate but related request submitted by ISKCON of Escondido was approved for a Vesting Tentative Parcel Map and Development Agreement for a residential subdivision immediately west of the Project 11 Item 2.

site. The project proponent never finalized the Tentative Parcel Map and Development Agreement and subsequently the entitlements expired.

In 2002, City staff approved a Vegetation Removal Permit (2002 -02-VRP) along with a request for a Habitat Loss 4(d) Permit for removal of 2.22 acres of the existing 11.99 acres of Coastal Sage Scrub within the Property . The removal of the 2.2 acres of habitat required purchase of credits within a pre -approved mitigation bank, and the project applicant purchased 2.2 acre s of habitat credits from the City’s Daley Ranch Conservation Bank in 2002 (Transaction No. 21).

SUMMARY OF REQUEST
On March 15, 2023, Dhiru Tantod, submitted land use applications for a Tentative Subdivision Map, a Conditional Use Permit , a Design Review Permit , Grading Exemption , and a Development Agreement —including a Density Bonus request. The density bonus request would provide two low-income units in exchange for an additional bonus unit. The application was deemed complete on May 1, 2025.

As indicated in the Background section of the staff report, a previous entitlement approval for a religi ous facility occurred under Case No. 99 -50-CUP. For purposes of comparative analysis between the previously approved religious facility and the proposed Project, Table 2 shows the differences between both projects, and Figure 1 shows the architectural differences between both designs.

PL23-0130/PL25-0086 (proposed Project):

SUPPLEMENTAL DETAILS OF REQUEST
The Project includes construction of a 11,767 square-foot Krishna Temple which is comprised of three buildings: a 6,221 square-foot Krishna Temple, a 4,733 square-foot monks’ quarters, and a 813 square-foot bathroom building.

These buildings are identified as buildings A, B, and C, respectively, in the architectural plans.

Operational Characteristics: The proposed operation of the Krishna Temple would entail daily services or “arotis” that are held throughout the day, with the earliest scheduled to begin at 4:30 am and the last service ending at 8:30 pm. All services would be open to the public. A description of the Krishna Temple function and facilities is provided below, as is the proposed daily schedule:

Daily Schedule:
 Mangal aroti: 4:30 am to 5:00 am
 Bhalya Bhoga aroti: 7:15 am to 7:30 am
 Raj Bhoga aroti: 12 noon to 12:45 pm
 Vaikalya aroti: 4:30 pm to 4:45 pm
 Sundhya aroti: 6 pm to 6:30 pm
 Ratri Kalina aroti: 8:15 pm to 8:30 pm
13 Item 2.

Attachment "4"

Item10.

The proposed operation would also include two scripture classes, one in the morning at 7:45 am and one in the evening at 7:15 pm. The classes would be attended generally by the monks and a few guests , last approximately one-hour, and include an average attendance of approximately 25-30 people. Days and times of these scripture classes may vary depending on programming needs throughout the year; however, the CUP analyzed for and would allow such classes to occur every day, if needed.

Temple Building
The proposed 6,221 square foot temple building includes an altar area (accessed only by the monks and priests), the altar worship support area (accessed only by the monks and priests), and the large temple hall. The large hall is the public assembly area for religious service and programs, and has a max occupancy of 220 people.

Ancillary Education and Services
There is a classroom in the cultural hall that would be used for ancillary type education and services, including but not limited to: “Sunday” school, yoga classes, weekday evening scripture classes, and music lessons for classic Indian instruments, etc. The yoga and music class attendance are typically a dozen students at a time, and occur approximately once a week. These classes are not advert ised to the general public and include members of the congregation and guest of the congregation.

The proposed operations of the ancillary Sunday classes for children would not operate independent of the religious facility. The anticipated attendees of the Sunday classes are those children and youth in attendance of the regularly scheduled services. The anticipated attendance is approximately 20 to 30 students. The classes would be held from 6:00 pm until 7:00 pm. As part of the ancillary school component, occasional special classes and craft and learning courses for children would occur during the weekday evenings and on Saturdays, and would be scheduled on an as- needed basis by the operator. All school classes and courses would be held in the classroom located in the cultural hall.

Saturday and Sunday Evening Events
While regular service would occur seven days a week, a majority of the Krishna Temple events , and the largest anticipated attendance for services, would be on Saturday s and Sunday s. In addition to regular service, the Applicant proposes to hold a program on Sunday evenings that begins at 5:30 pm and ends at 8:00 pm. This Sunday evening program consists of “bhajans” (devotional songs) performed on classical Indian instruments and a scripture class by the monks. The program is followed by a communal vegetarian dinner that is served in the dining hall. The attendance for this program varies but is anticipated to range from 100 to 250 people , and would occur every Sunday. The weekend evening program services would be held in the main temple area. Based on the size of the event’s attendance, the communal dinner would be held in the dining hall within the cultural hall. On Saturday evenings, the Applicant proposes a smaller program, consis ting of “bhajans” (devotional songs) performed on classical Indian instruments, a short talk by the monks, and a communal vegetarian dinner. The attendance on Saturdays for this program varies but is anticipated to range from 20 to 50 people. The services would be held in the main temple area.

Dining Hall and Book Shop
Food/dining is a relevant component of the proposed religious facility’s operation, therefore a dining hall with ancillary operational components is proposed as part of the Project. The dining hall is limited to the 570 square feet 14 Item 2.

Attachment "4"

Item10.
of area shown on Exhibit “C” of Attachment 3. The religious practices associated with the proposed facility are strictly vegetarian with the added restrictions of no garlic, onions, mushrooms etc. Krishna Temples traditionally provide a dining hall where, for one fixed and modest price, congregation members and pilgrims visiting the temple may come for a simple lunch or dinner. The proposed Project’s operation would include the use of the dining hall for both internal operations, as the monks and staff would take their meals in the dining hall but also external, in that the Saturday and Sunday bhajans would include communal vegetarian dinner service. It is anticipated that the dining hall attendance would b e typically small because the food is vegetarian, with no onions, garlic, and mushrooms, and because no beer or other alcoholic beverages would be served (Condition No. E.7 prohibits on- site/off-site sale of alcohol of the Conditional Use Permit and Design Review conditions). The attendance is primarily members of the congregation and staff along with the few pilgrims (i.e., new followers, etc.) who may be visiting the temple that day. Condition of Approval E.7 (Conditional Use Permit and Design Review conditions) prohibits the placement of signs or advertising regarding availability of foods or meals on site.

An ancillary book shop approximately 184 square feet would provide religious books and associated paraphernalia for worship, along with Krishna posters, carvings etc. and is proposed for operation seven days a week from 11:00 am until 8:30 pm. The book shop would be staffed by resident monks and volunteers.

Weddings
The proposed operations of the religious facility would include weddings and associated receptions. Generally, weddings would be held on Saturdays and Sundays between 10:00 am and 9:00 pm. Krishna Temple functions strictly prohibit alcohol therefore no alcohol would be served at any wedding functions (refer to Condition No. E.7 of Conditional Use Permit and Design Review conditions which would prohibit alcohol consumption for ancillary events, including weddings and receptions). The Applicant anticipates average attendance at weddings to range from approximately 50 to 100 people. The Applicant proposes wedding operations that would occur only internally.

Therefore, Condition No. E.5 (Conditional Use Permit and Design Review conditions) requires any events to comply with the City Noise Ordinance and restricts amplified sound to inside the building only.

Festivals
The Applicant proposes several special festivals throughout the year. Janmastami in late August (largest event), Divali in mid-October, and Rama Navami in mid-April. The calendar dates vary as the Krishna calendar goes by the moon and does not assign calendar dates to each of these holidays. The operations would also include several smaller festivals that occur during the year. All festivals would be held in the evenings, beginning at 6:00 pm and be over by 9:00 pm, with exception of the Janmastami festival which would run until midnight.

On Janmastami, people would be expected to come and go throughout the evening as there are other Krishna temples in the San Diego area and many people like to visit a number of temples on Janmastami. The attendance at this largest event of the year is between 250 to 350 people at any given time during the event. The attendance at Divali and Rama Navami is expected to be between 200 and 250 people. All festival events would be subject to the same conditions associated with alcohol and noise.

On-Site Inhabitants

Item10.

The Project includes living quarters for the religious facility’s staff and religious devotees. The Krishna Temple staff are mostly volunteers that live off-site. There would be several monks as well as the farm caretaker and family that live on the Project site, as detailed below:
 Private Apartments: The Project includes four proposed bedrooms in the cultural hall would be only used as living quarters for the full -time staff of monks and occasional overnight guest s. A total of 4 individuals are anticipated to live on-site. Condition No. E.10 (Conditional Use Permit and Design Review conditions) limits expansion of the monks residence building to include additional bedroom, unless the conditional use permit is modified.

 Caretaker’s Hous e (existing): There is one existing small house on the property which serves as the residence of the farm caretaker and family. No change is proposed to the operation of this component of the property as part of the Project.

Off-Street Parking
The Applicant proposes 72 parking spaces for the Krishna Temple , which meets the number of parking spaces required for the Project under the City of Escondido parking ordinance (Article 39). Under the City’s parking ordinance, the religious facility component of the Project would require 55 parking spaces (1 space per 100 square- feet of gross floor area for assembly areas without fixed seating).

In addition, each proposed residential lot would be required to provide two parking spaces for a total of 20 parking spaces. The proposed Project only entails the subdivision of land for future buildout of the single-family residential development. Therefore, the overall design and plotting of the individual homes is yet to be determined and will require a future Design Review Permit reviewed by City staff as required by Condition No. E.5 of the Tentative Subdivision Map and Development Agreement conditions of approval.

Density Bonus
The residential component of the Project includes a Density Bonus Request. The Applicant proposes to restrict two of the 9 lots (base density allowance) for low-income households. This restriction (approximately 22%) would allow a 42.5% increase in density; however, the Applicant requests only one bonus unit for a total of 10 units resulting in an approxi mate 10% increase in density. As a result of the restricted units, t he Applicant is entitled to two incentive/concessions, and unlimited waivers from development standards; however, t he Applicant does not propose the use of any incentives/concessions. The Applicant requests waivers of three specific development standards: minimum lot size, minimum lot width, and setback criteria related to hillside area requirements. All other development standards the proposed Project must comply with.

PROJECT ANALYSIS

1. General Plan Conformance:

a. Land use and density consistency
The Project is located within the Estate II (E2) General Plan land use designation which permits for residential land uses, along with certain nonresidential land uses subject to conditional review and approval.

The nonresidential component of the Project entails development and use of a religious facility, which is conditionally permitted within the identified zoning designation of RE -20. General Plan policies 3.1 and 3.2 (Residential Development Policy) specific ally state that nonresidential development, such as churches or schools, may occur in residential categories subject to state and local ordinance, and permit limited non-residential development, such as churches and schools, on properties designated by res idential use classifications subject to state and local ordinance, respectively. This zoning designation of RE -20 is a consistent zone for the E2 land use designation as identified within Figure II -6 of the Land Use and Community Form chapter. The RE -20 zoning designation identifies a requirement for a Conditional Use Permit for a religious facility within the zone. The religious facility is consistent with the development standards outlined within the applicable zone, and those operational components assoc iated with the facility are regulated by Exhibit F of Attachment 3, Conditions of Approval as described in this report. Therefore, the nonresidential use is consistent with the Land Use and Community Form chapter of the General Plan.

For purposes of the residential component of the Project, the E2 land use designation’s density is dependent on a sliding scale based on the slope of the site. The slope categories are as follows:

1. 0 – 25% slope: 2 dwelling units/acre

2. 25-35% slope: 1 du/1ac

3. 35%+ slope: 1du/20ac
As detailed in Table 3, the permitted density for the Project site based on the above corresponding density to slope values is as follows:

*Pursuant to State Density Bonus Law, all unit calculations for Density Bonus Projects are based on the Gross, not the Net acreage of the Project site.
**Pursuant to State Density Bonus Law, all unit calculations, including base units, are rounded up.

The Applicant requests use of a Density Bonus (see Attachment 2 – Density Bonus request) as permitted by State Law, and Article 67 (Density Bonus and Residential Incentives) of the Escondido Zoning Code (EZC). The Applicant proposes to restrict two of the nine (base density allowance) lots for low-income households (households making 80% of the A verage Median Income ). This restriction (approximately 22%) would allow a 42.5% increase in density; however, the Applicant requests only one bonus unit for a total of 10 units resulting in a n approximate 10% increase in density.

Under Density Bonus Law, the Applicant is entitled to two incentive/concessions, and unlimited waivers. Attachment 2 of this report identifies all requested waivers a nd their corresponding justification. The Applicant does not propose the use of any incentives/concessions; however, they request waivers of the following development standards:

The City’s Staff Development Committee reviewed the requested waivers, and determined the requested waivers would not cause a specific, adverse impact upon public health and safety, or the physical environment, or on any real property that is listed in the California Register of Historical Resources. The Applicant’s requested waivers entail a reduction in the required lot size, lot width, and rear and side yard setback for Hillside Areas. There is nothing in the administrative record from the City’s Fire Department, Engineering Division, or Building and Safety Division indicating that the requested waivers would impact the public health and safety, nor is there any real property within the site that is listed within the California Register of Historical Resources. All health and safety requirements set forth in the City’s Design Standards, California Building Code, and Fire Code would be applicable to the Project and compliance met. Therefore, the requested waiver complies with the requirements of State Density Bonus Law and Article 67.

Further, in accordance with State Law, inconsistency with a zoning ordinance or general plan land use designation shall not constitute a specific, adverse impact upon the public health or safety. The Applicant request waivers of development standards that are consistent with requirements of State Density Bonus Law and Article 67. The Project site maintains a land use designation that permits for residential development, while State law and Article 67 allow for density beyond the general plan’s identified threshold.

Krishna Temple
The Project site is located in the Estate II General Plan land use designation, and Residential Estate (RE-20) zoning district. Pursuant to the Residential Development Policy 3.2, the General Plan encourages permitting non-residential development such as churches on properties designated by residential use classifications subject to state and local ordinances. b. Housing Element and “No Net Loss”

The City is taking steps to encourage, promote, and facilitate the development of housing consistent with policies 1.1 and 2.1 of the Housing Element of the General Plan, while accommodating the City’s share of regional housing needs, consistent with Gover nment Code section 65584. No Net Loss Law (Government Code section 65863) ensures development opportunities remain available throughout the planning period to accommodate a jurisdiction’s Regional Housing Needs Allocation (“RHNA”), especially for lower - and moderate -income households. In general, jurisdictions cannot approve new housing at significantly lower densities or at different income categories than was projected in the Housing Element without making specific findings and identifying other sites t hat could accommodate these units and affordability levels “lost” as a result of the approval. The so-called “no net loss” provisions apply when a site is included in the jurisdiction’s Housing Element’s inventory of sites and is either rezoned to a lower 20 Item 2.

Item10.
residential density or is approved at a lower residential density than shown in the Housing Element. (Gov’t Code § 65863(b)).

Residential site
The Project’s residential portion is located on a site listed within the Suitable Sites Inventory, and forecasted to provide six above-moderate income units. The Project would provide for a total of 10 units: two low-income units, and eight above-moderate units, thus exceeding the number of units identified in the Housing Element’s inventory of sites.

Temple site
The Project’s temple portion is located on a site listed within the Suitable Sites Inventory, and forecasted to provide 32 above-moderate income units. The Project would be approved for a non- residential use, and thus would be approved at a lower density than shown in the Housing Element (Gov’t Code § 65863(b)).

Nonetheless, the remaining sites in the Housing Element inventory are adequate to meet the requirements of Section 65583.2 and to accommodate the RHNA pursuant to Section 65584, based on the following:

Income Levels:

The remaining sites in the inventory are adequate to accommodate the remaining share of the City’s regional housing needs. The Housing Element Sites Inventory would still have a capacity for 8,756 housing units. Further information is provided in Exhibit “E” of Attachment 3 to this staff report.
c. Resource Conservation Element
21 Item 2.

Attachment "4"
169
Item10.

 Visual Resources Policy 3.1: Preserve significant visual resources that include unique landforms (e.g., skyline ridges, intermediate ridges, hilltops, and rock outcroppings), creeks, lakes, and open space areas in a natural state, to the extent possible.

As detailed in draft Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration, there is an intermediate ridgeline approximately 450 feet away from the southernmost portion of the Project and approximately 1,000 feet away from the northernmost portion of the Project. The Project would not impact any views of the ridgeline, and would be preserved as it exists today. A rock outcropping exists to the southwestern area; however, it would be avoid ed and is not within the development footprint. Therefore, the Project is consistent with Visual Resources Policy

3.1.  Visual Resources Policy 3.2: Require new development to avoid obstructing views of, and to minimize impacts to, significant visual resources through the following: creative site planning; integration of natural features into the project; appropriate scale, materials, and design to complement the surrounding natural landscape; clustering of developm ent to preserve open space vistas and natural features; minimal disturbance of topography; and creation of contiguous open space networks.

The Project would be sited adjacent to Rincon Avenue, and would preserve the existing natural and undisturbed areas w ithin the middle and southern portion of the site. As designed, the Project would not extend above the existing ridgelines and other topographic features adjacent to the Project site. There is a difference in elevation of approximately 98 feet between the height of the ridgeline (higher) and the finished pad (lower); furthermore, the development is approximately 450 feet away from the intermediate ridgeline. Therefore, the Project is consistent with Visual Resources Policy 3.2.
 Visual Resources Policy 3.3: Maintain density and development standards designed to protect significant visual resources such as existing terrain, steep slopes, floodways, habitat areas, and ridgelines, and to minimize visual impacts of grading and structures.

The Project meets the development design guidelines for the site, including property that is less than 15% slope. The project is not in a designated floodway and preserves the established habitat areas on the property. Grading Exemptions are requested for slopes in excess of 20 feet in height. These proposed slopes would not block or affect any existing or significant views. The slopes would be landscaped in accordance with the City’s Landscape Ordinance (Zoning Code Article 62).
d. Circulation and Mobility Element
As detailed in the Traffic Scoping Agreement (TSA), the Project qualifies for a Local Mobility Analysis Waiver. The Project would not conflict with the City’s Mobility Element as it pertains to Level of Services (Street Network Policy 7.3). The Project will take access on Rincon Avenue which will be widened to Local Collector Standards which will improve the flow of traffic by straightening the road, and provide curb, gutter, sidewalks, and on-street parking. 22 Item 2.

Attachment "4"
170
Item10.

There is an island parcel located towards the rear of the prope rty which currently has access to Rincon Avenue via an easement across the Temple property. The Project would not impact the existing easement, or any recorded easements owned by the island parcel, and access to the island parcel will be maintained.

2. Zoning Conformance:

The Project site is located within RE-20 zoning district. The Project includes a Tentative Subdivision Map for single family residential uses, and a Conditional Use Permit and Design Review Permit for construction of a religious facility. Single-family detached units are permitted within the RE-20 zoning district and Religious Activities are a conditionally permitted use as shown in Section 33-94 of Article 6 of the EZC. Furthermore, the Project complies with the criteria for churches as outlined in Section 33-1106 (Churches) of the EZC as demonstrated below:
(1) The site should be 20,000 square feet (sf) or more in area; The church will be located on an approximately 19-acre (>800,000 sf) site. (2) All buildings, structures and landscaping should be compatible with surrounding developments; As discussed throughout this staff report, the Project ’s design minimizes impacts to surrounding neighborhoods through the incorporation of landscaping, and siting of the building from adjacent property lines. The proposed religious facility complies by meeting or exceeding required setbacks from property lines. The residential component also complies with requirements, and invoked State Density Bonus Law, permitting for three waivers from development standards, including reduced setbacks for purposes of hillside areas; however, pursuant to State Law, such waivers are not considered inconsistent for purposes of zoning or general plan consistency analyses. (3) The buildings should be designed, situated or landscaped so that sounds from church activities will not carry into surrounding properties.

The Project site is bounded by residential uses to the south and west; however, the proposed religious facility would be located over 200’-0” away from the nearest off-site residential uses, and an abundance of landscaping is proposed which would serve as a buffer to surrounding areas (See Condition of Approval E.11 of the Conditions of Approval for the Conditional Use Permit and Design Review Permit).

All religious facility activities would be conducted indoors, and no outdoor servcies are included in this Conditional Use Permit request. Additionally, the Project would retain over 75% of the existing landscaping which would further buffer the religious activities from surrounding properties.

The Project complies with all development standards , including but not limited to , off-street parking, setbacks, building height, floor area ratio/lot coverage , as depicted within the Development Standard Compliance section of this report.

3. Climate Action Plan Consistency:
23 Item 2.

Attachment "4"
171
Item10.

The Applicant completed the City’s required Climate Action Plan Consistency Checklist which concludes that the Project meets screening criteria for opting out of a project-specific greenhouse gas (GHG) analysis due to generating less than 36 Single Family Equivalent (SFE) units. In accordance with the Climate Action Plan guidelines, the Project’s GHG impacts would be less than significant, and no further analysis is necessary .

Additionally, as detailed in the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration, all impacts related to GHG emissions are less than significant, and no mitigation measures are required.

4. Site Design

a. Grading, topography, retaining wall, and fencing:

A majority of the Project would be located on the generally flat portion of the lot adjacent to Rincon Avenue in an effort to retain the natural topography of the site. There is an elevation difference of approximately 200 feet from the southern Project boundary to the northwest corner adjacent to Rincon Avenue. The grading plans indicate that there will be approximately 30,000 cubic yards of cut and fill, resulting in a zero net change in soils export and import for the site. The Project also includes a Grading Exemption for proposed slopes in excess of 20’-0” in height (Project’s proposed maximum cut slope : 32’-0” in height and proposed maximum fill slope : 24’-0” in height ). The Project’s grading design complies with the requirements for Grading Exemptions, as dictated under Article 55, Section 1066, in that the proposed slopes would be manufactured to be consistent with the Geotechnical report prepared for the Project; the purpose of the slope s are to avoid mass grading of the site that could impact sensitive habitat, and the natural topography of the site; and the extensive cut slopes to the east would not impact surrounding properties due to building placement and proposed landscaping. An alternative design for grading would require mass grading, and could potentially impact the natural habitat on the site due to the varying topography, and the proposed design is focused on the flatter portions of the site. The grading would follow the natural contours of the site and minimize impacts to adjacent properties and motorist on Rincon Avenue.

As detailed in the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration, the proposed development would not extend above the existing ridgeline. The proposed finished pad of the temple (highest point of the proposed Project) is approximately 98’ -0” below the existing intermediate ridgeline to the south. The proposed maximum height of the Project is the tower element of the religious facility, which is proposed at 51 -feet in height. Therefore, the Project would not adversely impact the adjacent ridgeline to the south.

b. Project Access and Circulation:

Residential Subdivision
Project access into the residential subdivision is provided on Rincon Avenue, and would be a private street (Street A) as shown on the Tentative Subdivision Map. A proposed 56’-0” wide public access and utility easement would be provided through the subdivision, and would allow for access to the various lots. The private street is designed in accordance with the City’s Engineering standards.

Temple
24 Item 2.

Attachment "4"
172
Item10.

Project access into the temple site is provided on Rincon Avenue, and includes cons truction of a new driveway. The existing 60’-0” access and utilities easement would be retained as a part of the Project.

c. Building Orientation:

Residential Subdivision
The proposed Project does not include construction of any single-family dwellings within the proposed residential subdivision. Therefore, any future development of the subdivision would be subject to Design Review as outlined in Condition No. E.5 of the Tentative Subdivision Map an d Development Agreement conditions of approval, pursuant to Article 64 (Design Review) of the EZC.

The proposed subdivision must comply with all the requirements of the underlying zone, unless waived through the Density Bonus request (Attachment 2). At this time, all density bonus request items are related to the lot design.

Temple
The temple’s primary façade would be oriented towards Rincon Avenue with the spire component of the temple oriented towards the adjacent slope. The largest portion of the building would be furthest away from the surrounding residences and is screened through the extensive landscaping that will be provided on -site (see Condition No. E.11 of the Conditional Use Permit and Design Review conditions of approval).

d. Open Space and Landscaping

Residential Subdivision
The future unit designs for the residential subdivision would be required to undergo Design Review which would include a detailed review of the landscaping, fencing, architecture, etc. of the units.

The Project includes a conceptual landscape plan indicating a total of 46 trees, inclusive of street trees and required plantings for each lot. The Project includes fuel modification zones pursuant to the Fire Protection Report (FPP). All proposed landscap ing is required to comply with the prohibition of specific tree species as detailed in the FPP. For purposes of compliance with Article 62 (Water Efficient Landscape Regulations) of the EZC, the conceptual landscape plan complies with all requirements.

Temple
Article 62 does not have specific landscaping requirements for the proposed religious facility use; however, the Project would still be required to comply with street tree requirements. Based on the portion of the Project’s Street frontage along the nonresidential component, the portion of the Project site with the temple requires six street trees, and proposes six trees. All proposed landscaping is required to comply with the prohibition of specific tree species as detailed in the FPP.

For purposes of compliance with Article 62 (Water Efficient Landscape Regulations) of the EZC, the conceptual landscape plan complies with all requirements

e. Parking:

25 Item 2.

Attachment "4"
173
Item10.

Residential
Article 39 (Off-street Parking) of the EZC requires all single-family residences to provide two covered off street parking via a garage and/or carport. All 10 residential lots must provide parking in accordance with Article 39; however, the Applicant does not proposed construction of residential units with the requested Project. Therefore, this component of the Project would be reviewed by Planning staff pursuant to Article 6 4 under the future Design Review Permit, as conditioned , for compliance.

Temple
Article 39 identifies two different methods for calculating parking for religious facilities: one parking space for each five seats (seats is defined as: 22-inches of linear bench constitutes one seat) or 100 square feet of gross floor area for all assembly areas. Staff determines the applicable parking ratio through proposed operations. For some religious facilities, fixed seating is proposed, in which the seats standard is applied. However, in instances where fixed seating is not proposed to allow flexibility, the gross floor area standard is applied.

The proposed Project consists of three buildings: the Krishna temple, monks quarters, and bathrooms.

The Krishna temple building is comprised of various rooms; however, not all areas are considered assembly areas as they are not proposed for public assembly use (e.g., storage room, food prep, rise room, entrance lobby). Areas considered assembly areas as identified by the Applicant consist of the following: temple assembly area, altar room, and a meeting room. Based on the gross floor area calculation for the above areas, the main temple building is required to provide 41.9 off-street parking spaces. This calculation is consistent with how parking demand is evaluated for religious facilities throughout the City.

The monks quarters, comprised of four bedrooms, a yoga r oom, office, gift shop, dining hall, and various accessory areas including a storage room, kitchen, restrooms, etc. The parking requirement for the monks quarters is required to provide 13.1 off-street parking spaces.

Neither of these areas includes fixed seating therefore the 100 sq. ft. of gross floor area standard applies in determining the parking requirement for the proposed temple . Based on the square footages of assembly areas identified within the main temple building, along with the ancillary uses identified within the monks quarters, the Project is required to provide a minimum of 55 off-street parking spaces (i.e., 41.9 + 13.1 = 55). The Applicant proposes a total of 70 parking spaces for these uses (15-space surplus), with an additional two ADA parking spaces, for a total of 72 spaces on-site.

It is unlikely that those vehicles attending service and events at the proposed religious facility would only entail single occupants, and likely include households which would contribute to the number of people anticipated to be present at services . Furthermore, the Project would result in the widening of Rincon Avenue (Engineering Condition of Approval No. 2: Street Improvements and Traffic) which would include approximately 25 on-street parking spaces. While the proposed Project may not count on -street parking towards the parking requirement, it is anticipated to provide additional de facto parking space for these events.

Item10.

5. Building Design:

a. Building Height, Mass, and Scale:

Residential
The Project does not include residential architecture at this time; however, any future construction will comply with the underlying zone requirements for the RE-20 zoning district, including but not limited: floor area ratio, lot coverage, hei ght, setbacks, and number of stories. Future compliance with these development standards is required under Condition of Approval No. E.5 of the Tentative Subdivision Map and Development Agreement conditions of approval, and ensures that the massing and sca le of the future dwelling units would be consistent with the surrounding neighborhood.

Temple
The religious facility is comprised of three buildings: the Krishna temple, monks quarters, and bathrooms. The proposed Krishna Temple main sanctuary would be 33’-10” in height , with the central tower feature achieving a maximum height of up to 51’ -0”. The main sanctuary building complies with the underlying zoning requirement of 35’-0” in height. Pursuant to Section 33-1075 of Article 56 (Miscellaneous Developm ent Standards) of the EZC , the central tower feature may exceed the height requirement. Specifically, Section 33-1075 states:

“…towers, church steeples… may be erected above the height limits established for the various zones provided that no portion of the structure in excess of the allowable building height shall be used for sleeping or eating quarters, nor shall such portion of the structures in excess of the allowable building height be used for the purpose of providing additional habitable floor space or be deemed as an excessive or unreasonable use of space that creates an unnecessary aesthetic impact on surrounding properties (as determined by the director of community development).”

The Krishna Temple’s proposed tower element would not be used as habitable floor space and does not constitute an unreasonable use of space as the tower element would not contain any usable area for occupancy. Further, the proposed design does not create an unnecessary aesthetic impact on surrounding properties in that the Project as designed concentrates the central tower feature away from the residential subdivisions proposed to the west , and is located 400-feet from the existing single-family residence located to the southeast within the Project site. Upon construction of the proposed residential subdivision, the temple would be further screened from existing residences through landscaping, the future single-family homes, and fences/walls developed as part of the Project . The building ’s massing would be minimized through the differentiation of building material and colors , and incorporation of architectural feat ures (e.g., ornamental stucco parapets, arches and various openings along the facade ). The Krishna Temple is setback approximately 90’-0” from Rin con Avenue, and would be further screened through the incorporation of landscaping along Rincon’s frontage and planting of the site’s future slopes.

Therefore, the appurtenance is permitted pursuant to Section 33-1075.

27 Item 2.

Attachment "4"
175
Item10.

The monks’ quarters is approximately 22’-0” in height, and is consistent with the requirements of the underlying zoning district.

b. Floor Plans:

Residential
The Project does not include construction of the single-family residences; however, future proposed floor plans would be reviewed through the Design Review process as required by Condition of Approval No. E.5 of the Tentative Subdivision Map and Development Agreement conditions of approval for consistency with the requirements of the EZC, inclu ding relevant components of Article 64.

Temple
As discussed above, the Temple will be comprised of three buildings: Krishna temple, monks quarters, and bathrooms. The Krishna temple would be approximately 6,500 square feet and consists of a meeting room, storage room, and food prep area, along with the main temple hall, and service area. The monks quarters would be approximately 5,166 square feet and would contain four bedrooms, along with a yoga room, electrical room, gift shop, dining, kitchen, hall, an d office room. The bathroom building would be approximately 964 square feet and consists of men’s and women’s restrooms, and a change room.

c. Building Materials:

Residential
The future residential building material would be reviewed under a separate Design Review Permit as no unit build out is proposed as part of this Project. Condition of Approval No. E.5 requires the Applicant receive Design Review approval for the future residential units, which would be subject to relevant portions of the EZC, including Article 64.

Temple
The Applicant proposes a blend of natural tones consistent with the surrounding topography such as brown sandstone, red stone, and a white pink/beige for the tower feature so as to provide subtle relief for the h ighest feature of the structure . These architectural features are consistent with typical Krishna temple architecture, which consists of earth tones for color, various spire features, and ornate detailing across the building’s façade.

6. Operational Characteristics of the Temple
As detailed in the Supplemental Details of Request, the Applicant proposes several services (“aroti”) throughout the day starting at 4:30 am and ending at 8:30 pm. The Applicant anticipates the largest attendances Saturday and Sunday evenings ranging from 50 people to 250 people. These types of religious services are customary of the proposed religious facility use. The Project design provides parking in excess of what is require d by the Escondido Zoning Code which is based on the assembly areas as detailed in the off -street parking analysis section.
28 Item 2.

Attachment "4"
176
Item10.

The Project anticipates three large events throughout the year, and would need to submit for a Temporary Use Permit (TUP) as required by Article 73 (Temporary Uses, Outdoor Display, and Sale or Retail Merchandise) of the EZC to authorize events with over 200 anticipated attendees . This requirement of the EZC is uniformly applied across religious uses throughout the City, and could als o result in additional conditions of approval related to such large-scale events, when at the future time more details are known. The Temporary Use Permit may address issues related to the need for additional parking, additional City permits (e.g., fire), and other conditions to address the uniqueness of each temporary activity. The operational characteristics proposed and provided by the Applicant under this Conditional Use Permit do not include any outdoor events, and all events approved under this CUP wo uld be wholly indoors, unless authorized through the Temporary Use Permit process and permitted by Article 6 (Residential Zones) and Article 73.

As identified throughout this report, t he Project has been conditioned (refer to Attachment 3, Exhibit “F”) to ensure that the proposed use of the site will not be detrimental to surrounding neighbors, and the Applicant has agreed to comply with said conditions of approval. Article 61 (Administration and Enforcement), Division 1 (Conditional Use Permits), Section 33-1207 stipulates the process and criteria for when a CUP may be modified or revoked, including non-compliance with conditions of approval.

7. Development Agreement
The Project is located within an area identified as the North Broadway Region of Influence as depicted in Article 68 (Growth Management Ordinance). Th e City identifies this area one of critical infrastructure deficiencies related to the City’s Quality of Life Standards, including drainage. Article 68 of the EZC requires the processing of a Development Agreement to allow the development of projects within the facility deficient areas subject to upgrading existing deficiencies--ensuring no critical infrastructure is adversely impacted --and that the Project pay its proportionate share toward neighborh ood improvements. Pursuant to Article 68, only the residential component of the Project is subject to the Development Agreement. The City’s Development Services Department does not identify any existing deficiencies or impacted infrastructure within the immediate vicinity of the Project; however, there are still outstanding improvements within the Region of Influence that need to be completed. Therefore, the Development Agreement would authorize the development of this site for the residential uses, and the Project would be required to pay its proportionate share towards neighborhood improvements as detailed in the draft Development Agreement attached as Exhibit “D” to Resolution No. 2025-

08. 8. Hillside and Ridgeline Overlay District
As detailed in the draft Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND), the Project is located within the Hillside and Ridgeline Overlay District (HRO District). The Project contains a varying topography with slopes up to 35% near the southern and central portion of the l ot; however, development of the temple and residential subdivision would avoid these areas, and would limit development to areas between 15% to 25% slopes. The development complies with the design criteria for HRO districts in that it avoids environmentally sensitive area including but not limited to natural habitat. Additionally, the Project would not extend above the existing ridgelines that are located off-site, and, notwithstanding the density bonus request, complies with the density calculations for the Estate II land use designation. The grading design minimizes the need for extensive grading by adhering to the existing contours and protects the existing visual qualities, rather than mass grading the site for flat building pads.
29 Item 2.

Attachment "4"
177
Item10.

FISCAL ANALYSIS
The Applicant will be subject to all Development Impact Fees, prior to building permit issuance. The Applicant will also be responsible for payment of the North Broadway Deficiency Area Fee as required by the City’s Growth Management Ordinance. The Development A greement is required for collection of this fee , and residential development in the area known as the North Broadway Deficiency Region of Influence.

ENVIRONMENTIAL ANALYSIS
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) applies to proposed projects initi ated by, funded by, or requiring discretionary approvals from state or local government agencies. CEQA Guidelines Section 15367 states that a lead agency, in this case, the City of Escondido, is the agency that has the principal responsibility for carrying out or approving a project and is responsible for compliance with CEQA. As lead agency, the City must complete an environmental review to determine if implementation of the Project would result in significant adverse environmental impacts. In compliance with CEQA, an Initial Study (“IS”) has been prepared to assist in making that determination. Based on the nature and scope of the Project and the evaluation contained in the IS environmental checklist, the City has concluded that a Mitigated Negative Declar ation (MND) is the appropriate level of analysis for the Project.

As provided in CEQA Statute Section 21064.5, and stated in CEQA Guidelines section 15070, an MND can be prepared when “(a) the initial study shows that there is not substantial evidence, in light of the whole record before the agency, that the project may have a significant effect on the environment, or (b) the initial study identifies potentially significant effects, but (1) revisions in the project plans or proposals made by, or agreed to b y the applicant before a proposed mitigated negative declaration and initial study are released for public review would avoid the effects or mitigate the effects to a point where clearly no significant effects would occur; and (2) there is no substantial e vidence, in light of the whole record before the agency, that the project as revised may have a significant effect on the environment.” The MND prepared for the Project identified potentially significant impacts in the areas of Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Geology and Soils, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Noise, and Tribal Cultural Resources. However, through incorporation of mitigation measures, the impacts can be reduced to a less-than-significant level.

The City acting as Lead Agency released a Draft IS/MND (SCH #2025040631) for a 30-day public review period from April 11, 2025 to May 23, 2025. City staff received a total of seven comments during the public review period: two of the seven comments received came from the same party; the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) provided one comment; and four separate residents from surrounding properties provided four comments after receiving the Notice of Intent. The Lead Agency prepared r esponses to those comments and incor porated those responses into a Final IS/MND. The Final IS/MND identifies no new environmental impacts which have not been addressed through the aforementioned mitigation measures. The Final IS/MND is included as Exhibit “ G” to Planning Commission Resolution No. 2025-08.

PUBLIC INPUT
In late April/early May, several concerned parties residing adjacent to the Project site contacted Planning Division staff. At the request of the concerned parties, Planning Division staff met with the Rocky Pointe Homeowner’s Association (HOA) on May 7th, 2025 to discuss the proposed Project, and prior approvals on-site. During the meeting, 30 Item 2.

Attachment "4"
178
Item10.

the HOA members made request s and recommendations for the Project and of the Applicant , which City staff communicated to the Project proponent.

The HOA requested that the Applicant conduct a balloon test so as to provide an opportunity for residents to visualize the proposed tower in the context of the surrounding community. A balloon test is not a requirement of the Escondido Zoning Code; however, the Applicant moved forward with the resident requested balloon test. The Applicant floated two 3’-0” wide balloons up to 53’-0” in height sometime between May 20, 2025 to May 29, 2025.

The HOA also requested an on-site meeting to relay additional concerns regarding evacuations in the case of a fire.

Planning Division staff and Fire Department staff met with the Rocky Pointe HOA as well as the Applicant’s team at the Project site on June 26, 2025 to discuss the Pr oject. As detailed in the Fire Protection Report attached to the Final IS/MND, the Project would comply with all requirements of the California Fire Code, and exceeds all the requirements of the Local Responsibility Area Very High Fire Hazard Zone with whi ch the Project is located in. As detailed in the Final IS/MND, the Project would not result in any significant and unavoidable impacts, including any related to wildfire and evacuation, that could not be mitigated through the incorporation of mitigation me asures.

Identified mitigation measures for wildfire and evacuation include but are not limited to the removal of vegetation surrounding the development area, installation of a security gate, realignment of Rincon Avenue to improve Fire Department access, and compliance with Fire Protection Report.

Based on the May 2025 meeting, as well as subsequent conversations with the concerned parties, City staff summarizes the primary concerns below:

1. Incompatibility with neighborhood character
The Project is located within a residential neighborhood , and is a conditionally permitted use in the underlying zoning district. The Project is designed, in a manner that is compatible with the neighborhood through siting of the buildings, landscaping, an d natural buffers provided on -site. The Project is conditioned to maintain all proposed activities indoors, and is consistent with the other types of religious uses throughout the City which are located in residential zones. Furthermore, the General Plan encourages limited non-residential development, such as churches or schools, on properties with residential use classifications (Residential Development Policy 3.2).

2. Perception of proposed operations of the Temple
As detailed in the comments received durin g the public review of the draft IS/MND, a perception exists that the activities may attract attendees in greater numbers than what is anticipated under the proposed operations , and would include outdoor events. However, as detailed in the operational characteristics, and as disclosed in the draft IS/MND, the largest special event may attract a maximum of up to 350 attendees over the course of the day (i.e., a concentration of 350 attendees at one time is not anticipated) and such events will require a Temporary Use Permit pursuant to Condition of Approval No. E.4. Further, none of the operations would be conducted outdoors , as stipulated in Condition No. E.3. While the largest special event proposed as part of the religious facility’s operations may entail attendance upwards of 350 attendees, the total number of attendees present at one time is anticipated to fluctuate throughout the day as congregants visit other temples in the San Diego Region. The Project is conditioned to ensure that all activities related to the use of the site will be conducted wholly indoors, and that no outdoor activities (unless authorized through a Temporary Use Permit), are permitted as part of this CUP.

3. Lack of public outreach and community input
31 Item 2.

Attachment "4"
179
Item10.

Both City staff and the Applicant met with the HOA on-site to further provide information on the proposed Project, including clarification on temple operations . Public noticing in compliance with Article 61, Division 6 of the Escondido Zoning Code requiring notice of publicly available information occurred. Additionally, the public review of the draft IS/MND provided an earlier opportunity for the community to engage with City staff and the Applicant.

City staff provided the Applicant’s contact information to the HOA following the meeting on May 7th; however, City staff is not aware of any communication from the HOA to the Applicant or vice-versa.

4. Traffic generation from the religious facility and fire hazard The Applicant prepared and submitted a Traffic Scoping Agreement (TSA) for the Project which was reviewed and approved by the Traffic Engineering Division. As detailed in the TSA, the Project is unique in that a temple, similar to a church, does not generate significant daily traffic on a week day, nor during weekday commuter AM and PM peak hours. During the AM peak hour (7:45 AM – 8:45 AM) and PM peak hour (5:00 PM – 6:00 PM), the proposed religious facility would generate a total of 12 and 17 trips, respectively. Due to this, the Project is eligible for a Local Mobility Analysis (LMA) Waiver indicating that the Project would not contribute significantly to the existing traffic patterns, and is consistent with the City’s General Plan policy as it relates to street networks (Street Networks 7.3).

As part of the development review and the environmental review, the Applicant is required to provide a Fire Protection Report (FPP) for the Project. The Project is required to comply with the California Fire Code, and the submitted FPP shows that the Project would improve existing risk to wildland fire through the following actions:
removal of vegetation and compliance with fuel modifications zones by indicating what types of planting are allowed throughout the site. Further, a fire station is located approximately 2.1 miles to the south at 1220 N. Ash Street, and construction of the Project would improve access along Rincon Avenue through the straightening and widening of Rincon Avenue. The Escondido Fire Department reviewed the FPP as detailed in the draft IS/MND, and no significant impacts to wildland fire hazards are anticipated as a result of the Project.

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
The Project includes a Tentative Subdivision Map and Development Agreement, along with additional associated discretionary requests, to facilitate the construction of a 11,767 square-foot Krishna Temple, and subdivision for 10 residential lots. As discussed throughout this staff report, the Project complies with the requirements of the Escondido Zoning Code, and with the General Plan policies included in the City’s 2012 General Plan. Additionally, the Project underwent environmental review as required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, and a Mitigated Negative Declaration w as prepared for the Project. The Project will not result in any impacts that cannot be mitigated to a less than significant effect due to the incorporation of mitigation measures.

Based on the analysis contained in this staff report, and as presented by City staff during the public hearing, Planning staff recommends that the Planning Commission adopt Resolution No. 2025-08 recommending that the City Council approve the Project, subject to the Conditions of Approval.

Motion as recommended by City staff: Adopt Resolution No. 2025-08 recommending that the City Council approve the Project, as conditioned.

Mitigation Measure No. 3: If vegetation removal must be conducted during the nesting bird season (February 1 through September 1), a qualified biologist shall first conduct a survey to determine whether any birds are nesting in the area. The survey shall be conducted within seven days prior to beginning any vegetation removal and/or grading and include a search for nesting raptors within 500 feet line -of-sight of the project and all other bird nests within or adjacent to the project site and all other bird nests within or adjacent to the project site. If active nests are found, a “no disturbance” buffer shall be
implemented by a biologist and no activity shall occur within the buffer until after all young have fledged from the nest as Review of nesting bird

If there are no nesting birds (includes nest building or other breeding/nesting behavior) within this area, clearing of vegetation and tree removal shall be allowed to proceed.

Mitigation Measure No. 4: The project applicant shall replace impacted mature trees at a ratio of 1:1, unless otherwise determined by the City. The applicant shall replace any protected trees at a minimum ratio of 2:1, unless otherwise determined by the City. The number, size and species of replacement trees shall be determined on a case -by-case basis by the Director of Development Services. This condition can be satisfied on-site if the project’s landscape plan includes the appropriate number of replacemen t trees with minimum 24-inch box-sized specimen trees.

Mitigation Measure No. 5: During construction, a biologist with appropriate permits for surveying, monitoring, and handling coastal and orange-throated whiptails shall be onsite daily for all grading, grubbing, and clearing activities. The biologist shall conduct a daily preconstr uction survey for whiptail lizards and work shall only begin once the biologist has communicated that the site is clear to proceed with work. The biologist shall remain onsite daily to monitor grading, grubbing, and clearing activi ties to ensure no whiptails are harmed.

7. Pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21081.6(a)(2) and CEQA Guidelines section 15091(e), all documents and other materials which constitute the record of proceedings are located at the City of Escondido, City Hall. The City Clerk, whose office is located at 201 North Broadway, Escondido CA 92025, is hereby designated as the custodian of the documents and other materials which constitute the record of proceedings upon which the Planning Commission’s decision is based, which documents and materials shall be available for public inspection and copying in accordance with the provisions of the California Public Records Act.

TENTATIVE MAP DETERMINATIONS (PL23-0129)
(Subdivision Map Act and Chapter 32 of the Escondido Municipal Code) With respect to Planning Case No. PL23-0129, the City Council finds that none of the findings (a) through (g) below in Section 66474 of the California Government Code that require a City to deny approval of a Tentative Subdivision Map apply to this Project for the reasons stated as follows:

1. That the proposed map is consistent with the applicable general and specific plans as specified in Section 65451 of the Subdivision Map Act
As detailed in the Planning Commission staff reported, dated September 23, 2025, the Project site is located within the Estate II (E2) General Plan land use designation which permits density on a sliding scale depending on the slope of the site. Based on the slope analysis, the Project’s maximum density is approximately 8.2 units; however, in accordance with State Density Bonus Law and Article 67 (Density Bonus and Residential Incentives) of the Escondido Zoning Code (EZC), the base density is rounded up to nine (9) units due to the inclusion of two (2) low- income units. This permits a 47% increase in density, but the Applicant only proposes an additional bonus unit for a total of 10 units. The Project density is 2.38 dwelling units, and notwithstanding the Density Bonus Request, is consistent with the City’s adopted 2012 General Plan.

The Project is not located within a specific plan as shown on the City’s 2012 General Plan Land Use Map.

2. That the design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is consistent with the applicable general and specific plans
The Project includes 10 residential lots, and one (1) lot for use by a religious use as permitted by the EZC. The subdivision for the residential lots consists of a private street to be maintained by the future Homeowners Association. The design of the private street as shown on the Tentative Map is designed to meet City engineering standards, and standards for the Escondido Fire Department. The Project is conditioned to comply with City standards related to street design.

3. The Project site is physically suitable for the proposed type of Project.

The Project site is approximately 24.2 gross acres consisting of various slope categories, natural habitat, and existing on-site improvements. The Project only includes development on approximately 5.2 acres of the site while the remaining 19 acres will be maintained as natural 236
Item10.

Resolution No. 2025-144
Exhibit “E”

area and vegetation. The residential component of the Project proposes development on the flatter area of the site avoiding the need for excessive grading and removal of vegetation; the religious facility is located on Lot 11 which is approximately 20.34 acres, while the proposed square footage of the building is 11,767 square-feet. The Project makes efficient use of the physical site, and is suitable for the proposed use.

4. That the site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development The Project includes a Tentative Subdivision Map to subdivide two existing lots into 11 lots (and one lettered lot) with 10 lots to be used for residential uses. The non-residential lot would include development of a religious facility, which is a conditionally permitted use within the residential zone. As detailed in the Planning Commission staff report, dated September 23, 2025, the Project site is located within the E2 General Plan land use designation which permits density on a sliding scale depending on the slope category of the site. The permitted density is 9 dwelling units; however, due to the inclusion of two (2) low-income units, the Project is permitted an increase in density due to the State Density Bonus Law and Article 67 of the EZC. This results in a total of 10 dwelling units equaling approximately 2.38 dwelling units per acre. While the underlying zone does require 20,000 square-feet minimum lot sizes, the Applicant proposes a range of lot sizes as permitted by the use waivers related to the density bonus request. The total size of the Project site is approximately 24.2 gross acres, and is physically suitable for the proposed density.

Further, pursuant to State Density Bonus Law, densities and associated waivers inconsistent with a zoning ordinance or general plan land use designation shall not constitute a specific, adverse impact upon the public health or safety.

5. The design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially or avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat.

Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), an Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (SCH# 2025040631) was prepared and circulated for public review. As discussed in the IS/MND, the Project will result in the removal of coastal sage scrub, disturbed coastal sage scrub, and non-native grassland. With the implementation of Bio-1, impacts to biological resource would be less than significant. The Project would result in the remove 1.94 acres of coastal sage scrub while maintaining approximately 5.87 acres of coastal sage scrub, and avoids substantial environmental damage. Therefore, with the appropriate mitigation measure in place, substantial environmental damage to wildlife and/or their habitat would not occur.

6. That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements would not conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision
There are several easements that run throughout the proposed subdivision and Project Site; however, none are acquired by the public at large and all are limited to private use. The design of the subdivision or type of improvements would not conflict with easements acquired by the public at large.
237
Item10.

Resolution No. 2025-144
Exhibit “E”

7. All permits and approvals applicable to the proposed Tentative Map pursuant to Chapter 33 of this code have been obtained
The Project includes multiple requests including but not limited to a Tentative Subdivision Map, Conditional Use Permit, Design Review Permit, Development Agreement, Grading Exceptions, and Density Bonus Request. Approval of the Project will result in all permits applicable to the proposed Tentative Map being obtained.

8. All applicable requirements of the Map Act and any ordinance of the City of Escondido regulating or otherwise relating to the conversion of existing buildings into condominiums or stock cooperatives have been satisfied
The Project does not include the conversion of existing buildings into condominiums or stock cooperatives. This finding for approval a Tentative Map is not applicable.

9. The proposed Tentative Map shall be in conformity with the zone in which it is located.

To the extent that the property, which is subject of the proposed Tentative Map, is an existing legal nonconforming multi-family residential use, this requirement shall not apply, in accordance with Chapter 33 of this code.

As detailed in the Planning Commission staff report, dated September 23, 2025, the Project includes a Density Bonus Request which permits the use of incentives/concession and waivers as permitted by State Density Bonus Law and the EZC. The Project complies with all requirements of the Residential Estate – 20,000 (RE-20) zone, notwithstanding the requested waivers related to lot size, lot width, and hillside area yard requirements.

The proposed Tentative Map is not an existing legal nonconforming multi-family residential use.

Further, pursuant to State Density Bonus Law, densities and associated waivers inconsistent with a zoning ordinance or general plan land use designation shall not constitute a specific, adverse impact upon the public health or safety.

GRADING EXEMPTIONS
(Section 33-1066 of Article 55 (Grading and Erosion Control – of the Escondido Zoning Code)
With respect to the requested Grading Exemptions, the City Council grants the exemptions based on the following:

The Project request a Grading Exemption for slopes to the west and east of the temple building, up to 23’-0” for a fill slope and 32’-0” for a cut slope, respectively; and a cut slope up to 23’-0” in height adjacent to Lot 6. The requested exemptions have been reviewed by the Engineering Division, in conjunction with the prepared geotechnical study for the Project. Based on the City’s review of the aforementioned study, the proposed grading designed can be stabilized following the recommendations of the geotechnical study. Furthermore, the slopes will not have impacts on surrounding uses due to the placement of proposed buildings for the development which are situated approximately 200’-0” away from the residential uses to the west. The purpose of the slope is to create a flatter building pad without intruding on the natural vegetation on the site, and would minimize impacts to surrounding properties by reducing the need for the importing of 238
Item10.

Resolution No. 2025-144
Exhibit “E”

soil. The grading design is designed to follow the existing contours of the site, in accordance with Article 55 (Grading and Erosion Control).

HILLSIDE AND RIDGELINE OVERLAY DISTRICT
(Section 33-1067 of Article 55 (Grading and Erosion Control – of the Escondido Zoning Code)
With respect to the Hillside and Ridgeline Overlay District, City Council makes the following findings:

1. The bulk, scale, density, and overall character of the proposed development is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood and with the natural, cultural, scenic and open space resources of the area; and
The Project is surrounded by the following land uses:
 North – Commercial nursery, single-family residential units in the City of Escondido and County of San Diego
 South – Single-family residential subdivision
 East – Vacant open space/agricultural in the County of San Diego  West – Single-family residential subdivision, open space The Project includes development of ten single-family residences and a non-residential component (Hare Krishna Temple) and meets all development design guidelines for the site as determined through the Staff Development Committee review process and with applicable conditions of approval (Exhibit “F”). The proposed temple includes detailed and articulated building designs with projections, pillars, and recesses to avoid long and plain surfaces. Building massing would be further minimized with the use of differentiated building materials and colors, in addition to the architectural features. The design and Krishna Temple architecture of the building, along with landscaped building setbacks, would minimize aesthetic differences of the Project from surrounding properties.

Additionally, the Project grading plan minimizes grading and contour of the site to match the existing onsite contours and protect the existing visual qualities of the site, rather than mass grading of the site to create flat building sites. The Project would not have any significant impacts to aesthetic resources, biological resources, or cultural resources as identified within the IS/MND. Therefore, the bulk, scale and overall character of the proposed development would be compatible with the surrounding neighborhood and with the natural, cultural, scenic and open space resources of the area.

2. The location and design of the proposed development respects and preserves the natural landform, vegetation, and wildlife of the project site; and The proposed development would not extend above the existing ridgelines or other topographic features that are off-site or adjacent to the Project site. The Project complies with the density requirements set forth in the Estate II land use. The Project will maintain the existing topography to the extent feasible in order to protect and maintain the existing natural landforms on the site.

The southern portion of the site would not be developed as part of the proposed temple and 239
Item10.

Resolution No. 2025-144
Exhibit “E”

residential units, and focuses development to the flatter areas of the site closest to Rincon Avenue. The open space and habitat at the central and southern areas of the site will be preserved and maintained.

Additionally, per the environmental analysis provided within the Initial Study (IS)/ Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) there would be no significant impacts to biological resources including vegetation or wildlife. Therefore, the Project location and design respect and preserves the natural landform, vegetation, and wildlife of the Project site.

3. The location and design of the development does not substantially alter the natural appearance and land form of the hillsides and ridges; and The grading plan minimizes grading and contour of the site as much as possible to match the existing on-site contours and protect the existing visual qualities of the site rather than mass grade the site to create flat building sites. In addition, the proposed development would not extend above the existing ridgelines and other topographic features that are off-site and adjacent to the Project site including the intermediate ridgeline south of the site. Therefore, the proposed Project location and design of the development does not substantially alter the natural appearance and land form of the hillsides and ridges.

4. The location and design of the proposed development will protect the safety of current and future residents, and will not create a significant threat to life and property due to slope instability, fire, flood, mud flow, erosion, or other hazards; and The Project site has an elevation difference of approximately 200’-0” from the lowest existing point to the highest existing point. As part of the development review process, the Staff Development Committee reviewed the submitted Pre-Development and Post-Development Slope Analysis for the Project. The proposed development would be situated towards the northern, less steep areas of the Project site and the existing area of the site that is proposed for development contains slopes of 15% or less.

An IS/MND was prepared for the Project. No significant geological, hazardous, or wildfire impacts would occur as a result of the proposed Project. Therefore, the location and design of the proposed development will not create significant threat to life and property due to slope instability, fire, flood, mud flow, erosion or other hazards.

5. All grading associated with the project has been minimized to the extent possible, preserving the character of the property while utilizing appropriate erosion control practices as determined by the city engineer to avoid erosion, slides, or flooding, in order to have as minimal an effect on said environment as possible.

The grading plan minimizes grading and contour of the site to match the existing on-site contours and protect the existing visual qualities of the site rather than mass grade the site to create flat building sites. The Project is required to comply with all local and state grading and construction codes, and install and maintain all erosion control measures to reduce and minimize soil erosion impacts throughout Project grading and construction. The Project is required to prepare a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and identify Best Management Practices (BMPs) for incorporation into the Project prior to the start of demolition and grading to reduce soil erosion.

Item10.

Resolution No. 2025-144
Exhibit “E”

The proposed development would maintain approximately 19 acres of existing natural area and vegetation on the site which would reduce potential runoff and erosion and maintain the existing visual characteristic and appearance of the site. Additionally, the Project was determined to have no significant impacts due to flooding on or off-site through the Staff Development Committee’s review process, which included review by the Utilities Environmental Programs team, as well as Utilities Engineering and Land Development Engineering teams. All proposed grading associated with the Project is minimized to the extent possible to facilities preservation of the character of the property while utilizing appropriate erosion control practices to avoid erosion, slides, or flooding.

DENSITY BONUS REQUEST
Section 33-1419 of Article 67 (Density Bonus and Residential Incentives – of the Escondido Zoning Code)

With respect to the Density Bonus Request, the City Council makes the following findings for granting of the Density Bonus Request:

The Project includes a Density Bonus request to utilize waivers and an increase in density as permitted by State Density Bonus Law and Article 67 (Density Bonus and Residential Incentives), specifically, the Project will provide two (2) low-income units (making 80% of the Average Median Incomes [AMI]), and will utilize waivers related to required lot size, width, and yard requirements in the hillside area. The Applicant does not propose the use of their two (2) incentives/concessions. The City’s Staff Development Committee reviewed the requested waivers and did not identify anything in the administrative record indicating that the granting of the waivers will have a negative impact on the public health and safety or general welfare. The Applicant will utilize one (1) of their bonus units for a total of 10 units, inclusive of the low- income units. The Project complies with the provisions of Article 67.

NO NET LOSS Findings
Pursuant to California Government Code Section 65863, the City Council finds the following:

The Project site or a portion thereof (Assessor Parcel No. 224-100-84-00) was identified in the Housing Element to accommodate a portion of the regional housing need. The estimated capacity on the applicable parcel(s) of the Project site is as follows:

Very-low Low Moderate Above Moderate
0 0 0 6
The Project does not reduce the density of the site below what was projected in the Housing Element; the Housing Element shows a site capacity of 6 above-moderate income units, whereas 8 above-moderate income units are proposed, along with two additional low-income units.

Findings if there is a Net Loss
Pursuant to California Government Code Section 65863, the City Council finds the following:

The project site or a portion thereof (Assessor’s Parcel No: 224-10-085-00) was identified in the Housing Element to accommodate a portion of the regional housing need. The estimated capacity on the project site was as follows: 32 above-moderate income units. The proposed project reduces the density of the site below what was projected in the Housing Element; the Housing Element shows a site capacity of 32 low-/moderate-/above-moderate income units, whereas 0 low-/moderate-/above-moderate income units are proposed.

The Housing Element, adopted on August 11, 2021 and subsequently amended on March 22, 2023, requires that the City accommodate 9,607 low-/moderate-/above-moderate income units as its share of the regional housing need. As of August 2025, with 4,886* low-/moderate-/above- moderate income units either constructed, approved, or projected to be provided through accessory dwelling units, leaving a remaining need for 4,721 units. If the Project is approved, the remaining need will be reduced to 4,711 units. The Project would utilize two parcels on the Suitable Sites Inventory removing capacity of 38 above-moderate; nonetheless, the Housing Element Sites Inventory would still have a capacity for 8,756 housing units.

This finding demonstrates the remaining sites in the inventory are adequate to meet the requirements of Government Code Section 65583.2 and to accommodate the remaining share of the regional housing need pursuant to Section 65584. This finding includes a quantification of the remaining unmet need for the City’s share of the regional housing need at each income level and the remaining capacity of sites identified in the housing element to accommodate that need by income level.
