TCR-3: The project developer shall retain a qualified professional archaeologist who meets U.S. Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualifications and Standards, to conduct an archaeological sensitivity training for construction personnel prior to commencement of excavation activities. The training session shall be carried out by a cultural resource professional with expertise in archaeology, who meets the U.S. Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualifications and Standards. The training session shall include a handout and focus on how to identify archaeological resources that may be encountered during earthmoving activities and the procedures to be followed in such an event, the duties of archaeological monitors, and the general steps a qualified professional archaeologist would follow in conducting a salvage investigation if one is necessary. A qualified professional archaeologist shall be on -site along with a N ative American monitor(s) associated with the Rincon Band of Luiseño Indians during rough grading operations.

TCR-4: Prior to performing grading operations, the construction manager, tribal representative, grading contractor, the qualified archaeologist, and landowner/ applicant if required, shall review the process for controlled grading of 10596 -S-1, during the pre -construction meeting (see Mitigation Measure TCR -2). The discussion shall include a review of the process, confirmation of what machinery sha ll be used, what types of resources are present and/or expected, what shall occur when/if buried resources are discovered, and who shall notify the monitors at least 48 hours in advance of when grading is anticipated to begin within 50 feet (15 meters) of 10596-S-1. Monitors shall be allowed to actively observe, including walking within a close but safe proximity to the equipment, the newly exposed soils for any evidence of buried resources. This process shall continue until the entire area has been complet ed. Upon the concurrence of both the project archaeologist and the tribal representative, controlled grading may cease and, if applicable, mass grading may proceed. The controlled grading process shall be documented by the project archaeologist in the Phase IV Monitoring Report as required in Mitigation Measure TCR-7.

TCR-5: Prior to the start of grading, milling features identified by the Rincon Band of Luiseño Indians Native American monitor, project archaeologist, and construction contractor that can be feasibly moved shall be flagged to protect it until relocation of the outcrops is scheduled. During construction monitoring by a Rincon Band of Luiseño Indians Native American monitor and archaeologist, the area surrounding the feature(s) shall be excavated in a slow and controlled way in order to preserve as many milling elements as possible and to expose the entire outcrop. The outcrop shall be relocated to a location within the project area where the outcrop can be preserved in perpetuity. Due to potential construction constraints, the outcrop may need to be moved several times before being relocated to its permanent location. The location shall be agreed upon by the City and the traditionally and culturally affiliated tribe in consultation with the applicant. All efforts shall be made to preserve the outcrop as one piece, if feasible. If the boulder is too large to move in one piece, a concerted effort shall be made to preserve as many milling elements as possible.

TCR-6: In the event that archaeologica l resources are unearthed during ground -disturbing activities, ground-disturbing activities shall be halted or diverted away from the vicinity of the find so that the find can be evaluated. A buffer area of at least 100 feet shall be established around the find where construction activities shall not be allowed to continue until a qualified archaeologist and the Rincon Band of Luiseño Indians Native 139

American monitor(s) have examined the newly discovered artifact(s) and have evaluated the area of the find.

Work shall be allowed to continue outside of the buffer area. All archaeological resources unearthed by project construction activities shall be evaluated by the Rincon Band of Luiseño Indians Native American monitor(s) in coordination with the qualified pr ofessional archaeologist, who meets the U.S. Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualifications and Standards. Should the newly discovered artifacts be determined to be prehistoric, Native American tribes identified through project consultation, shall be contacted and consulted, and Native American construction monitoring shall continue. The project developer and the City in consultation with the affiliated consulting tribe(s) shall coordinate with the archaeologist to develop an appropriate treatment plan for the resources. The plan may include implementation of archaeological data recovery excavations to address treatment of the resource along with subsequent laboratory processing and analysis. No photography, invasive or non-invasive testing is permitted unless prior written approval of the affiliated tribes as identified throughout the consultation process.

All inadvertent discoveries are to be kept on the project site at a secured and locked location agreed upon by the traditionally and culturally affiliated tribe(s) and the City, until reburial on project site.

Reburial on Project Site: Prior to Notice of Completion for the Grading and Site Improvements, the landowner(s) shall relinquish ownership of all cultural resources that are unearthed on the project property during any ground-disturbing activities, including previous investigations and/or Phase III data recovery.

Prehistoric Resources – the following treatments shall be applied.

a. Reburial of the resources on the project property. The measures for reburial shall include, at least, the following: Measures to protect the reburial area from any future impacts. Reburial shall not occur until all required cataloguing have been completed on the cultural resources, with an exception that sacre d items, burial goods, and Native American human remains are excluded. Any reburial processes shall be culturally appropriate and consulted with the traditionally and culturally affiliated tribe(s), and the City.

Listing of contents and location of the reburial shall be included in the confidential Phase IV Report. The Phase IV Report shall be filed with the City under a confidential cover and not subject to a Public Records Request

b. Reburial of the resources off -site. If reburial is not feasible on -site as determined by the Director of Development services upon a recommendation provided by the archaeologist, in consultation with the TCA tribe(s), then reasonable efforts shall be made to locate the features off-site in consultation with the aforementioned parties.

TCR-7: Prior to release of the grading bond, the archaeological monitor, under the direction of a qualified professional archaeologist who meets the U.S. Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualifications and Standards, shall prepare a final P hase IV monitoring report at the conclusion of any on -site archaeological monitoring. The report shall be submitted to the project developer, the South Coastal Information Center, the City, the affiliated tribe(s) that participated in project consultation, and representatives of other appropriate or 140

2. The design measures below are “good neighbor” measures, intended to ensure best practice is adhered to throughout Project construction, and shall be included on applicable building, engineering, and landscaping plans. A(a-h) are not associated with any significant impact s, therefore, the Project shall comply with site - specific design measures as detailed in the draft Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration, and as specified below:

a. Construction-period and permanent BMPs and water quality requirements would be designed and implemented in accordance with applicable state and local rules and regulations. This includes temporary placement of silt fence or similar perimeter control at the property boundary to prevent any loss of sand, silt, or material from the project site during construction activities.

b. All construction activities would occur during normal daylight hours in accordance with the City’s local rules and regulations.

c. Prior to grading permit issuance, a project biologist shall be retained to inspect a nd oversee installation of temporary perimeter fencing, be on-site during the initial clearing and grubbing of habitat, and conduct regular inspections thereafter during grading operations to ensure compliance with the project biological requirements. The biologist should be knowledgeable of upland biology and ecology, possess a bachelor’s degree in a biological related field, and have at least two years of experience in field biology or current certification of a nationally recognized biological society. I n lieu of the above qualifications, a resume would demonstrate to the satisfaction of the City that the proposed biologist has the appropriate training and background to effectively implement the biological -related site design measures. The biologist would have the authority to halt construction activities, if needed, and would report any detection of federally or state listed species and/or violation to the City and applicable resources agencies, if needed within 48 hours of detection.

d. Environmental training would be provided for contractors and construction personnel by the project biologist prior to the start of construction work and annually thereafter. The training would be repeated if gaps in construction operations were required.

e. Initial clearing, g rubbing, and/or grading of vegetation would avoid the typical avian nesting season, which extends from February 1 to August 31. If this were not feasible, clearing, grubbing, 141
Item5.

Resolution No. 2026-29
Exhibit “D”

Page 16 of 25 ends

and/or grading of vegetation may occur during the avian nesting season if the pro ject biologist conducts a focused survey for active nests within approximately 72 hours prior to work in the area and determines the area to be free of nesting birds. If active bird nests were found, then all construction activities undertaken for the project must comply with regulatory requirements of the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act and California Fish and Game Code §3503 and §3513. This would require protection of the nest, eggs, chicks, and adults until such time as the nestlings have fully fledged and are no longer dependent upon the nest site. The project biologist may need to conduct follow -up nesting bird surveys (e.g., weekly), as needed during the nesting season if suitable habitat is present on-site.

f. The Applicant shall incorporate all necessary fuel modification requirements on-site, as detailed in the conceptual landscape plans under Exhibit “B” to City Council Resolution No. 2026-29.

g. All temporary and permanent landscaping shall avoid the use of plant species listed by the California Invasive Plant Council on the California Invasive Plant Inventory. A certified landscape architect shall ensure on the Landscape Plan Check submittal that the plants identified within the final planting plan are not listed on the aforementioned inventory. A note shall be added to the final Landscape Plans.

h. A final photometric plan shall be submitted as part of the construction plan set through the Building Plan Check process. The photometric plan shall show a ll temporary and permanent lighting to be shielded and directed down onto the Project site; it would not be broadcast into the adjacent properties.

FACTORS TO BE CONSIDERED / FINDINGS OF FACT

1. ZONE MAP AMENDMENT (PL25-0010)
(Section 33-1263 of Article 61 – Administration and Enforcement of the Escondido Zoning Code)
With respect to the Zone Map Amendment, the Planning Commission finds and recommends that that City Council make the following findings for approval:
a. That the public health, safety and welfare will not be adversely affected by the proposed change; The Project includes a Zone Map Amendment to amend the existing zoning from Professional Commercial (CP) to R-4-24 (High Multiple Family District) which permits primarily residential uses, subject to a Major Plot Plan Permit. The existing zoning is inconsistent with the existing General Plan land use designation of SPA#13 which forecasted a range of industrial and office-like developments in the specific planning area as described in the City’s 2012 adopted General Plan. Since the Project proposes fewer intensive uses (i.e., residential) than what is allowed for in the General Plan currently (i.e., commercial and office) , overall Project-related impacts would be reduced from what was anticipated under the 2012 General Plan , including parking, traffic, noise and air quality. The proposed Z one Map Amendment will not adversely affect the public health, safety and welfare in that the proposed change is limited to an individual parcel, and is consistent with the surrounding medium density residential developments, and low-intensity office uses. The Project was reviewed by the City’s Staff Development Committee (SDC), and is conditioned to comply with applicable regulations outlined in the Escondido Municipal Code (EMC). b. That the property involved is suitable for the uses permitted by the proposed zone; The Property is currently developed with an existing single-family dwelling (SFD), and is considered legal non-conforming as residential uses are not currently permitted within the existing zoning district, CP. The Property is surrounded by existing multifamily developments, mobile home parks, legal non -conforming residential uses, and low -intensity office uses. Due to the topography of the Property, various grad ing exemptions are requested; however, the grading design is consistent with the design criteria outlined in Article 55 (Grading and Erosion Control) and includes significant landscaping to provide visual relief to surrounding properties. The Property is suitable for the uses permitted by the proposed zone in that it is surrounded by existing residential uses, and is adjacent to a major thoroughfare that can accommodate the Project’s traffic generation as analyzed in the Local Mobility Analysis that was prepared for the Project.

Therefore, the Project site is suitable for the proposed residential development and corresponding land use changes, as outlined in Attachment 4 of the Staff Report (dated January 13, 2026). c. That the uses permitted by the proposed zone would not be detrimental to surrounding properties; The Project includes rezoning the site to R -4-24, a high density multifamily residential designation, for construction of 70 dwelling unit s which would be consistent with the development pattern of the 156
Item5.

Ordinance No. 2026-03
Exhibit “B”

surrounding area. As detailed in the Planning Commission staff report, dated January 13, 2026, the Property is surrounded by existing multi-family residential uses to the east and west, a mobile home park to the south, and low-intensity commercial uses to the east. The uses permitted in the proposed zone of R-4-24 allows for multifamily uses, and ancillary residential uses, and is consistent with those existing developments cited above. Due to existing development patterns of similar uses and intensities, the uses permitted by the proposed zone would not be detrimental to surrounding properties. d. That the proposed change is consistent with the adopted general plan; As discussed in the Planning Commission staff report, dated January 13, 2026, the Project includes a General Plan Amendment to change the land use designation from SPA#13 to Urban IV which would permit up to 24 dwelling units per acre. The proposed Zone Ma p Amendment is necessary to create consistency with the proposed General Plan Amendment. Upon approval of the General Plan Amendment, the proposed change would be consistent with the adopted 2012 General Plan. e. That the proposed change of zone does not est ablish a residential density below 70% of the maximum permitted density of any lot or parcel of land previously zoned R -3, R-4, or R-5 unless the exceptions regarding dwelling unit density can be made pursuant to the provisions set forth in Article 6;
The Project site was not previously zoned R-3, R-4, or R-5; the Property is currently zoned CP which does not permit residential development and is inconsistent with the existing General Plan land use designation of SPA#13. The Project would not establish a residential density below 70% on a site previously zoned high-density due to the existing non -residential zoning district . The Project does include a Zone Map Amendment to rezone the subject Property to R-4-24, which would then be subject to the restrictions of this finding should a future zone change be proposed.
f. That the relationship of the proposed change is applicable to specific plans.

The proposed change is not applicable to any adopted specific plans. While the Project site is designated as Specific Plan Area #13, it is not located within any adopted specific plan area. The “Specific Plan Area” land use category defined in the General Plan is applied in unique situations where comprehensive planning for an area is important to achieve a desired vision. Specific Plans are authorized by State Government Code Section 65450. Required components of Specific Plans include a separately approved document and map that comprehensively prescribe the distribution, l ocation, extent and intensity of major components of development, utilities, transportation, and facilities associated with the SPA .

However, no specific plan has been adopted for this parcel (or in the greater SPA#13 area) and the change in zone designation is limited to the one parcel located in the northwestern area of the City and would not eliminate or preclude future adoption of an SPA#13 specific plan. Therefore, the Project does not impact an adopted Specific Plan document.

HUD funds must assist the low - and moderate-income residents of Escondido and may not be used to supplant City funds. Funds may also be used to pay for administrative and planning costs, subject to regulatory limitations. HOME projects and administrative costs have been funded with both HOME and Successor Housing Agency funds, and no General Funds will be used for these projects.

PREVIOUS ACTION
On June 25, 2025, the City Council conducted a public hearing to solicit and consider citizen input on the Five Year 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan and 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan for the use of CDBG and HOME funds; and adopted Resolution No. 2025-69 approving Fiscal Year 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan and Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Annual Action Plan for the use of CDBG and HOME funds, conditionally committing funds to projects, authorized the Director of Community Development to execute contracts as appropriate and 160
Item6.

approved the submittal of the Fiscal Year 2025 -2029 Consolidated Plan and the Fiscal Year 2025 -2026 Annual Action Plan to HUD.

On January 7, 2026, the City Council received a presentation providing an overview of the Community Development Block Grant (“CDBG”) and HOME Investment Partnership Program (“HOME”) programs.

BACKGROUND
The City of Escondido is considered an entitlement jurisdiction and receives an annual allocation from HUD for the operations of i ts HOME programs . The funding is determined by a formula, based on population, age of rental units in the city, and poverty levels.

As a recipient of HOME federal funds, the City is required to submit a five -year Consolidated Plan, an Annual Action Plan that is required f or each year of the Consolidated Plan period, and a Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (“CAPER”) to monitor its progress, outcomes, and expenditures for the program year. The Consolidated Plan and Action Plan identify the community’s housing needs and describes in detail how HOME and other HUD block grant funds will be used to meet those needs.

Based on a community needs assessments and public participation priorities were identified and adopted as part of the FY 2025-2029 Five-Year Consolidated Plan.

FY 2025-2029 Five-Year Consolidated Plan Priorities
The community development priorities approved for the 2025-2029 Consolidated Plan and reaffirmed on February 18, 2026 are:

1. Support the development and preservation of affordable rental and homeownership opportunities.

2. Expand access to supportive services to prevent and reduce homelessness, promote housing stability, and foster long-term solutions.

3. Promote safe and healthy communities by improving public facilities, upgrading infrastruct ure, and supporting neighborhood revitalization efforts.

4. Deliver essential public services to vulnerable populations, including youth, families, and seniors with low to moderate incomes and individuals with special needs.

Annual Action Plan
In accordance with the City’s Citizen Participation Plan, the City must conduct at least one public hearing each year regarding the proposed allocation of HOME funds . The first public hearing will be held on February 25, 2026 where Council will be asked to approve an allocation process for FY 2026-2027 HOME funding.
161
Item6.

A second public hearing will be held on June 03, 2026 to review staff’s funding recommendations and approve submittal of the 2026-2027 Annual Action Plan to HUD. The final plan must be submitted to HUD by August 2026.

During that time , staff will also conduct public outreach to solicit additional input from the public regarding the funding plan.

HOME
HOME is a federal block grant program that provides funding to states and cities to be used exclusively for affordable housing activities to benefit low -income households. Funds for HOME are appropriated annually to the Department of HUD, which in turn distributes funding to states and cities.

HOME funds may only be used for affordable housing activities, including:
 New Construction of Owner-Occupied and Rental Housing: Building new affordable housing units for both homeownership and rental.
 Rehabilitation of Owner -Occupied and Rental Housing: Repairing and upgrading existing housing units.
 Tenant-Based Rental Assistance ( “TBRA”): Providing direct rental assistance to low -income individuals and families.
 Assistance to Homebuyers: Supporting homeownership through down payment assistance, closing costs, etc.

Within these categories, HOME funds may be used to pay the following eligible costs, as grants or as loans:
• Development and Rehabilitation hard costs: costs associated with the construction and rehabilitation, including cost of demolition, utility conn ections, site improvements, and multifamily community facilities.
• Acquisition costs: purchase costs of real property, including down payment assistance to homebuyers.
• Related soft costs: costs such as professional planning services, including for env ironmental review or other environmental studies; associated financing and development fees, including impact fees, environmental review fees, legal fees, private appraisal fees, and other lender - required third-party reporting fees; filing fees for zoning or planning review and approval; and information services such as affirmative marketing and fair housing information. • Relocation costs: relocation payments and other relocation assistance to persons displaced by the project.
• Eligible TBRA costs: rental assistance, security deposits, and utility deposits. • Lead-based paint hazards: the evaluation and reduction of lead-based paint hazards. 162
Item6.

• Administrative costs: up to 10% of a city’s HOME funds may be used for any administrative and planning costs, i ncluding salaries of persons engaged in administering and managing HOME activities.
• CHDO operating costs: up to 5% of a City’s HOME funds may be used for the operating expenses of CHDOs.

HUD provides a very specific list of eligible activities. If a project or expense is not included in this list, it is most likely an ineligible expense.

HOME Anticipated Allocation Process
 Administration and Planning (Max 10%): The city can use up to 10% of its annual allocation for reasonable costs related to program administration, planning, and monitoring.  CHDO Set-Aside (Min 15%): HUD requires that at least 15% of the total grant be reserved for Community Housing Development Organizations ( “CHDO”s), which are non -profit organizations that develop affordable housing.
 Program Funds (Remaining Balance): The rest of the funds (typically 75-85%) are used for eligible project costs, including property acquisition, rehabilitation, new construction, and tenant -based rental assistance.

Staff will return to Council on June 3, 2026, to conduct the second public hearing to approve specific funding allocations for FY 26-27 HOME funds.
