Background
The proposed Paloma Townhomes project would allow for the development of 102 multifamily residential condominiums on an approximately 5.03-acre project site located southwest of the intersection of Linda Vista Drive and Grand Avenue in the Marcos Specific Plan Area (SPA) Zone in the Business/Industrial District.
Discussion
On October 24, 2023, City Council approved the following for the Paloma Townhomes development:
• • Ordinance No. 2023-1537 (Specific Plan 22-0003) adopting the Marcos Specific Plan to establish the development guidelines and serve as the primary land use, policy, and regulatory document for the project;
• • Resolution No. 2023-9223 (Tentative Subdivision Map 22-0002) to create a one-lot condominium map for 102 residential condominium units; and
• Resolution No. 2023-9222 (Multifamily Site Development Plan 22-0002) to allow the construction of 102 residential condominium units.
After review of the submitted final map and the project conditions, City staff have determined that the Final Map is complete and in conformance with the Subdivision Map Act, the City of San Marcos Subdivision Ordinance, and the conditions of approval for the associated entitlements listed above.
Environmental Impact
The proposed project/action has been reviewed for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act and has been found to be in conformance with an existing certified environmental document. On October 24, 2023, the City Council approved the entitlements for the Paloma Townhomes Project, including Mitigated Negative Declaration ND23-012 identifying mitigations measures to reduce project impacts to less than significant. The Notice of Determination was filed with the State of California Office of Planning and Research as SCH No. 2023070239.
Fiscal Impact
There are no direct fiscal impacts associated with the approval of the Final Map. However, the ultimate development of 102 residential condominiums will improve the City’s property tax/sales tax base.
Annexation into the following Community Facility Districts (CFDs) ensures the project pays its share toward affected citywide services: CFD 98-01 Improvement Area 1 (Police Only); San Marcos Fire Protection District CFD 2001-01 (Fire and Paramedic); CFD 98-02 (Lighting, Landscaping, Open Space and Preserve Maintenance); and CFD 2011-01 (Congestion Management).
