The site is subject to the General Plan Regional Category Village, Land Use Designation Village Residential (VR-2). Zoning for the site is Limited Agriculture (A70). The subject parcel is currently developed with an existing vacant dwelling, which will be removed.

Earthwork will consist of cut of 74,791 cubic yards and fill of 74,893 cubic yards of material. The project includes the following on-site/frontage improvements: removal of existing vacant house and construct grading, utilities, street improvements, and landscaping to create a new residential community. The frontage improvements include street widening and stripping on adjacent Idaho Avenue. Additionally, the project proposes the following off-site improvements: sewer extension and annexation into the City of Escondido’s sanitation district.
