PL25-0096/PL25-0097/PL25-0098/PL25-0099: VALLEY PARKWAY & CENTRE CITY PARKWAY 94-UNIT CONDOMINIUMS

The Project, located in Escondido, California, within the Downtown Specific Plan area, seeks approval for the development of 94 condominium units through the consolidation of two lots and the subdivision of air rights to enable vertical ownership. The development requires a Tentative Subdivision Map, a Planned Development Permit encompassing both Master and Precise Plans, and a Design Review Permit to ensure architectural and urban design compliance with the city’s downtown framework. The project involves the demolition of approximately 13,100 square feet of existing commercial buildings and 30,600 square feet of self-storage warehouse structures to make way for new multi-family residential buildings. Comprehensive on- and off-site improvements are included, such as grading, landscaping, designated open space, and enhancements to public streets and sidewalks to support the increased density and community use. The development aligns with the General Plan’s land use designation and Specific Plan zoning objectives for downtown revitalization. The initiative is formally recognized under the project identifiers PL25-0096 through PL25-0099 and is publicly listed under the title VALLEY PARKWAY & CENTRE CITY PARKWAY 94-UNIT CONDOMINIUMS. The City of Escondido is the lead agency, with primary point of contact Alex Rangel, Associate Planner, reachable through the city’s planning department. Storm Bird of Storm Properties serves as the developer representative, indicating private sector involvement in planning and execution. The project was posted for public notice in June 2026 and is progressing under the California Environmental Quality Act review process, with all documentation accessible through the city’s CEQA Net portal. The proposal reflects a strategic effort to increase housing density in the urban core while integrating environmental and design standards to maintain community character and infrastructure capacity.
