Proposed Wal-Mart/Escondido Union School District EIR ;

Conditional Use Permit, Grading Exemption to the Zoning Code, Certification of the Final EIR for the actions described below, as well as for the relocation of the 60,000 SF Escondido Union School District (EUSD) offices to the southeastern corner of Ash Street and Washington Avenue. The construction of the EUSD facility relies on the City's prior conveyance of the property to the EUSD. The proposal involves a Conditional Use Permit for outdoor retail display in conjunction with the construction of a 140,000 sf retail commercial building and 18,426 sf of covered outdoor garden area for slope on top for an overall height of approximately 60 feet. The southern driveway entrance at the corner of Grand Avenue and Harding Street is proposed to be signalized as part of this project. Improvements to Pennsylvania Avenue at Ash Street would include restricted right-in and right-out at the street intersections, along with a raised median along Ash Street to restrict left-turn ingress into the shopping center. The project includes the demolition of approximately 60,000 sf of building area currently occupied by the EUSD administrative offices, along with a 6,000 sf freestanding commercial building located within the southern parking area. An existing house located on the site along Grand Avenue also will be demolished.
