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

  • (a) Preliminary application. A developer proposing a housing development pursuant to this article may submit a voluntary preliminary application prior to the submittal of any formal request for approval. Developers are encouraged to schedule a preapplication conference with designated staff of the community development department to discuss and identify potential application issues, including prospective incentives or concessions pursuant to section 33-1413.

  • (b) Application. The developer shall submit an affordable housing application, which will be treated as part of any other required development application, requesting a density bonus and/or incentive(s) or concession(s), pursuant to this article. Pursuant to Government Code section 65915(a)(2), the applicant shall provide reasonable documentation to establish eligibility for a requested density bonus and/or incentive(s) or concession(s). The proposed housing development may require other project development application(s) (e.g., tentative map, parcel map, design review, and conditional use permits). Under such circumstances, the affordable housing application shall be processed concurrently.

  • (c) Approval of an application. When a project involves a request for a density bonus, incentive(s) or concession(s), or in-lieu incentives, the decision-making body shall make a written finding, as part of the approval of the development application required for the project or as part of the approval of the affordable housing agreement, that the project is consistent with the provisions of this article. The granting of an incentive/concession shall not, in and of itself, require a general plan amendment, zoning code amendment, or any other discretionary approval.

  • (d) Denial of application. In rejecting such development application, the decision-making body shall make written findings in compliance with Government Code Section 65589.5(b) and based upon substantial evidence in the record.

  • (Ord. No. 2021-10, § 6, 10-27-21)
