Variance Request (PL26-0146)

The City of Escondido is processing a variance request, identified as PL26-0146, for a residential property located at 13970 Valle Lindo Rd in Escondido, California. The purpose of this request is to increase the permitted fence height within the front setback from the standard three feet to six feet. The subject property is situated within the Northeast Gateway Specific Plan area and is zoned as a Specific Plan Area. This project has been granted a Notice of Exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act Guidelines section 15305, as it involves minor alterations in land use limitations that do not create a new parcel or trigger further environmental review exceptions. The process is being coordinated by Associate Planner Alex Rangel for the City of Escondido and Senior Forward Planner Richard Hamlin of KB Home.
