Escondido Zoning Code · 2026-05 edition · updated 2026-07-25 · Escondido

  • (a) Design Guidelines for Projects in I-P Zone. For new development applications in the I-P zone, or prior to approval of any discretionary project, development proposals shall be submitted in conformance with the following general principles:

    • (1) Building height and bulk should be sensitive to the existing natural and built environments.

    • (2) Landscaping and open space should provide relief from the hardscape surfaces of building and parking areas and provide pleasant areas for enjoyment by employees and users of the industrial park.

    • (3) The natural character of prominent hillsides and canyons should be retained where practical.

    • (4) Graded areas should be contoured to blend with natural land forms.

    • (5) Incidental uses locating within an I-P development shall be incorporated with the rest of the development and zone.

    • (6) The use of greenbelts and buffers are encouraged to reduce possible industrial/ residential land use conflict.

    • (7) There shall be no unscreened openings in buildings located next to a residential zone.

    • (8) Fleet storage shall be screened from view by landscaping and walls not less than six feet in height. Landscaping intended to screen parking, outdoor storage, and outdoor uses should consist of closely spaced, broad-canopy, evergreen trees that achieve a minimum height of 20 feet.

  • (b) P-D Development Criteria. The planned development process (see section 33-400) is encouraged in the I-P zone to allow a greater degree of freedom in planning an industrial park when the opportunity exists to design a comprehensive, integrated development proposal. A comprehensive architectural, landscape and sign program is required upon submittal of an industrial park planned development to fulfill the intent and purpose set forth in the I-P zone as discussed in section 33-561 of this article.
