PL25-0020 PL25-0021 PL25-0023 PL25-0024 - West Valley Parkway 70-Unit Condominiums

The project at 613 W Valley Parkway in Escondido, California, seeks approval to develop a 70-unit condominium complex within the Downtown Specific Plan (SPA-9) area, requiring a Tentative Subdivision Map to consolidate two lots and subdividing air rights for condominium ownership, a Planned Development Permit to authorize residential use in a mixed-use zone, and a Design Review Permit to ensure architectural compliance. The development involves demolishing a 60,000-square-foot existing office building and constructing new residential units at a density of 25.6 units per acre, accompanied by on- and off-site improvements including off-street parking, stormwater management with bioretention basins and biofiltration vaults, landscaping, curb and gutter repairs, and a passive open space area. The project qualifies for a categorical exemption under CEQA Guidelines Section 15332 as an urban infill development, meeting criteria for consistency with the General Plan and zoning, location within city limits on a site under five acres, absence of protected species habitat, minimal environmental impact on traffic, noise, air, and water quality, and adequacy of existing utility services. No federal contract clauses, procurement mechanisms, or FAR requirements apply; instead, the process is governed by local land use and environmental regulations. The applicant, KB Homes represented by Troy Frederick, submitted the environmental notice for filing with the San Diego County Clerk’s Office, and formal approval authority rests with the City of Escondido’s planning agency, led by Principal Planner Ivan Flores. Administrative fees totaling $5,050 were paid to secure filing, with payments processed through physical checks and no electronic invoicing or federal accounting codes involved. The only identified deadlines relate to environmental compliance filings, and no contract period of performance, pricing data, delivery schedules, or inspection criteria beyond environmental thresholds are specified, as the documentation reflects a municipal permitting process rather than a procurement or construction contract.
