Quince Street Senior Housing Project - PHG 17-0028, ENV 17-0008

The 220 North Quince Street Senior Housing project site is located in the City of Escondido, east of Interstate 15 at the northeast corner of West Valley Parkway and North Quince Street. The project site is approximately 1.4 7 net acres and is developed with three approximately 10, 000-square-foot ( sf) warehouse buildings, one approximately 2,000-sf maintenance and repair building, and a small paved parking area. The project proposes to construct a five-story, affordable senior housing development with ground-floor parking and four stories of residences above. The project would include an amendment to the Downtown Specific Plan to remove the requirement for ground-floor retail or office uses and to change the open space requirement for senior housing projects. The project would construct 145 residential units. at a density of 98.3 units/net acre and provide 142 parking spaces, with a street-level entrance lobby, two courtyards, an overlook plaza, leasing area, and community room. New curbs, gutters, sidewalks, and street trees would be provided along the project's western and southern frontages along North Quince Street and West Valley Parkway, respectively. Storm drain improvements, up-sizing of water and sewer mains, and connections to existing public utility and up-sized water and sewer lines would be required. Project construction would begin in January 2020 and is expected to last two years. Construction activities include site preparation, demolition, grading, installation of underground infrastructure and utilities, construction of structures, paving of the site, and architectural coating. The top five feet of existing soil would be excavated, back-filled, and compacted, requiring approximately 1,000 cubic yards of soil movement.
