Overview

Ordinance No. 2026-05 is represented here as an official City adopted-ordinance PDF linked from the City Council Adopted Ordinances page and retrieved on May 24, 2026. This page records ordinance-stated context for the Juniper Street Office to Residential Conversion only.

This page is not legal advice, current project-status evidence, current construction evidence, current occupancy evidence, entitlement interpretation, CEQA analysis, codification-status evidence, or a complete project file.

Source Details

Ordinance Context

The ordinance title says it determines the project exempt from further environmental review under CEQA and approves a Planned Development Permit to allow ground-floor residential uses and reduced setbacks for the Juniper Street Office to Residential Conversion.

The ordinance lists case numbers PL24-0126, PL24-0127, and PL25-0359.

Use that as ordinance-stated title and case-number context only. This page does not interpret the Planned Development Permit, Design Review Permit, Density Bonus Request, CEQA exemption, conditions of approval, or current legal effect.

Project And Site Context

The ordinance says Darshan Patel filed a land-use development application on May 15, 2024 for a Planned Development Permit and Design Review Permit with Density Bonus Request.

The ordinance describes the request as facilitating conversion of an existing office building into 32 residential dwelling units on a 0.67 gross acre site at 332 S. Juniper Street, APN 229-472-11.

This page does not publish map metadata, parcel boundaries, private-property access guidance, current construction conditions, occupancy, permit status, or condition compliance.

Planning Commission And Council Context

The ordinance says the Planning Commission held a public hearing on February 10, 2026 and adopted Resolution No. 2026-02 recommending that the City Council approve the project's Planned Development Permit and corresponding entitlements as detailed in the March 4, 2026 City Council staff report.

The ordinance says the City Council determined the project categorically exempt from further environmental review under CEQA Guidelines Section 15332 for In-Fill Development Projects and approved the Planned Development Permit as depicted in Exhibit C, subject to Conditions of Approval attached to Resolution No. 2026-40 as Exhibit D.

Use those statements only as ordinance text. Check the Planning Commission record, City Council staff report, approved minutes, Resolution No. 2026-40, CEQA records, conditions, and later official updates before relying on detailed recommendation findings, legal effect, entitlement status, condition compliance, appeals, litigation, or current project status.

Adoption Context

The ordinance says it was passed, adopted, and approved by the Escondido City Council at a regular meeting on April 1, 2026. It lists AYE votes for Fitzgerald, C. Garcia, J. Garcia, Martinez, and White, with no NOES or ABSENT councilmembers.

Use that as ordinance-stated adoption context only. Check approved minutes and later official records before relying on broader final-action history, later corrections, repeal, amendment, current-code status, current project status, or current occupancy status.
