§ 32.202.01. Applicability.

Proposed residential development projects shall not exceed the densities listed for the residential land use designations in the Escondido General Plan and Zoning Code, which indicate MAXIMUM development potential. The ACTUAL yield may be less than the maximum development potential due to development standards, policies, and environmental factors detailed in the General Plan and Zoning Code. Yield calculations resulting in any fractional units shall be rounded down to the next whole number to determine the number of residential units permitted on a parcel of land, except as may be permitted by Sections 32.202.02 and 32.202.03. (Ord. 96-26, § 1, Exh. A, 9-11-96; Ord. 2022-02, § 4, 1-26-22)

§ 32.202.02. Exceptions.

Exceptions from density requirements may be permitted for the timely development of lots pursuant to a development agreement, or Vesting Tentative Subdivision Map or Vesting Parcel Map approved prior to the effective date of the General Plan (June 6, 1990), and for the conversion of existing mobile home parks or multiple residential units to resident ownership, and for requests for a density bonus pursuant to the residential land use section of the Zoning Code. (Ord. 96-26, § 1, Exh. A, 9-11-96; Ord. 2022-02, § 4, 1-26-22)

§ 32.202.03. Density conformance—Tentative Parcel Maps.

Notwithstanding Section 32.202.01, proposed Tentative Parcel Maps involving constrained lands or limited street dedications on the property, may be considered in conformance with the General Plan, if the Director of Planning and Building determines that the proposed project satisfies each of the following criteria:

  • A. The Tentative Subdivision or Parcel Map proposes lot sizes which conform with the standards of the current zoning designation and such zoning conforms with the current land use category of the General Plan;

  • B. The proposed lot sizes conform with the minimum size specified in the General Plan Land Use Category in which it is located;
