Title

Marea Village Mixed Use Development Project - FEIR

Description

The project proposes a mixed-use development consisting of 94 for-lease apartments, a 34- room boutique resort hotel, and 18,261 square feet (SF) of mixed-use development. The project would also include a subterranean parking garage, a walking paseo, pedestrian plaza, and an outdoor seating area. Of the 94 residential apartment units proposed, 75 would be rented at market rate and 19 would be affordable housing units dedicated to “low-income” (80% area median income) qualifying residents; refer to Figure 2.0-3A, Site Plan, and Figures 2.0-4A to 2.0-4F. Additionally, 8 of the 34 guest rooms at the hotel would be available at “economy” rates to ensure a full range of affordability. Improvements to North Coast Highway 101 are also proposed to allow for adequate ingress/egress. Vehicular access to the site would be provided via a roundabout constructed along North Coast Highway 101 near the southern boundary of the project site; refer to Figure 2.0-3B, Conceptual Roundabout Plan. The roundabout would provide connection to a proposed access drive leading into the subject property. In March 2019, the Encinitas City Council adopted a Housing Element Update (HEU) to its General Plan which provides the City with a coordinated and comprehensive strategy for promoting the production of safe, decent, and affordable housing for all within the City. Mandated by state housing law, the purpose of the HEU is to ensure the City establishes policies, procedures, and incentives to increase the quality and quantity of the City’s housing supply.
