ISKCON of Escondido, Krishna Temple and Residential Project

The 24.53-acre project site is primarily vacant/undeveloped, except for a single-family detached residence and foundations of a shed and other outbuildings near the middle of the site, located on APN 224-100-85-00. The proposed project includes two separate applications for a Tentative Subdivision Map (City File No. PL23-0129) for the development of 10 single-family residential lots on approximately 4.2 acres of the 24.53-acre site. The residential lots range from 0.31 acres (13,504 SF) up to 0.63 acres (27,443 SF). The project proposes the construction of market rate homes on 8 of the 10 lots with two of the lots closest to Rincon Avenue proposed for low income households pursuant to State Density Bonus Law and Escondido Zoning Code Article 67 (Density Bonus and Residential Incentives). The project also includes a Conditional Use Permit (CUP), City File No. PL23-0130), Grading Exemption, and Design Review Permit (City File No. PL25-0086) for the development of a 6,221 SF Krishna Temple, an adjacent 4,733 square foot monks quarters associated with the Krishna Temple, 813 SF restroom/change room/janitor closet for a total building area of 11,767 SF. The Krishna Temple/CUP component is located on the 20.33-acre portion of the project site. The proposed 6,221 SF Temple Building includes an altar area (accessed only by the monks and priests), the altar worship support area (accessed only by the monks and priests), and the large temple hall. The large hall is the public assembly area for religious service and programs. Programs would include Sunday School and Saturday and Sunday evening services, would hold weddings and festivals. The facility would include a dining hall, book shop, classrooms, private living quarters, and a care taker's house. The overall project area will comprise approximately 7.30 acres of the 24.53-acre site (2 parcels). The Project also includes a Development Agreement (City File No. PL25-0085) for the payment of the North Broadway Deficiency Area Fee as required for developments within the North Broadway Region of Influence as identified in Article 68 (Growth Management Ordinance) of the Escondido Zoning Code.
