Division 9 — Zoning Administrator›Article 68 — GROWTH MANAGEMENT ORDINANCE

§ 33-1436. Findings.

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

The city council makes the following findings:

  • (1) That these actions are necessary to ensure adequate public facilities are available to serve any new development in the city. Without this article and the requirements imposed by it, adequate public facilities may not be available to serve new development or building. Development or building without public facilities is contrary to the city general plan and would be dangerous to the public health, welfare and safety.

  • (2) This action of the city council is consistent with longstanding policies and objectives of the city to ensure adequate public facilities within Escondido. This action will protect the public health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of Escondido by ensuring safe streets, adequate water, sewer and drainage facilities, adequate schools and libraries, sufficient police and fire protection, and park and recreation facilities.

  • (3) This action is consistent with the city's policy to provide housing opportunities for all economic sectors of the community because sufficient opportunities for new housing continue to exist within the city. In addition, development of housing for low-and moderate-income persons and families would most likely occur in areas of the city which are designated for highest development priority.

  • (4) Adoption of this article will not adversely affect the regional welfare. By ensuring that adequate and safe public facilities and improvements will exist to serve all of the development in Escondido and because many of these facilities and improvements are used by persons residing in neighboring areas and cities, the safety and welfare of the whole region is enhanced.

  • (Ord. No. 94-16 § 1, 5-18-94)

§ 33-1437. through § 33-1449. (Reserved)
