Document Description
A modification to a previously approved Conditional Use Permit (PHG15-0015, PHG18-0045, & PL24-0357) to modify existing social service operations. The modification would entail conversion of an existing 49-bed emergency shelter operation to withdrawal management services, within an existing social services center. The withdrawal management services would be located in the same space previously used as an emergency shelter, with no change in total capacity on site. The project site is located within the Light Industrial zoning designation (M-1) under the General Plan land use designation of “Light Industrial” (LI). The proposal also includes an environmental determination for the project.

Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15301 (Existing Facilities)
Reasons for Exemption
- The project is consistent with the City of Escondido Zoning Code and General Plan, and no variances are required. The subject parcel is located within a developed area of the City, which has all services, public utilities, and access available on site.
- The request is for a modification to a previously approved Conditional Use Permit which will not alter the structure, nor physical capacity to the site.
- The site has been completely developed, and has no value as habitat for endangered, threatened, or rare species. The proposed development would not have the potential to cause an adverse impact on the environment and is not subject to further CEQA review.
- Furthermore, none of the exceptions listed under CEQA Guidelines section 15300.2 apply to the proposed project. The project is not located in a particularly sensitive environment, does not have an impact on an environmental resource, nor is it of a hazardous or critical concern. The project will not result in a cumulative impact from successive projects of the same type in the same place, over time, given the proposed project is consistent with the General Plan policies which were addressed in the General Plan Final EIR. There are no unusual circumstances surrounding the proposed project that would result in a reasonable possibility of a significant effect on the environment in that the area of impact is already disturbed and improved with an existing, permitted social services facility and all proposed changes would occur within the interior of the existing structures. The project will not damage scenic resources, including trees, historic buildings, rock outcroppings or similar resources, because the proposed project would be located on a previously disturbed site. The project area is not environmentally sensitive as it is a previously disturbed site.
