10A. Public hearing to consider a timely-filed appeal (Case No. APPEAL-008659-
2026) of the Planning Commission’s denial of a concession and imposition of
conditions requiring construction of frontage improvements for a 120-unit
multi-family apartment development on a 5.23-acre vacant site. The project is
located on the south easterly corner of Sage Canyon Drive and El Camino
Real. Environmental Considerations: The project is statutorily exempt from
CEQA under Government Code Sections 65583.2(h) and (i), which provide
that, if a project is located on a site designated for ’by right’ approval, contains
at least 20 percent of the units affordable to lower income households, and is
not requesting a subdivision, the City of Encinitas may only require design
review and coastal development permit approval of the project, and approval
shall not constitute a "project" under CEQA. The State Department of Housing
and Community Development, in their letter to the City of Encinitas dated
October 8, 2019, stated that the "20 percent calculation is based upon the
total number of units in the development exclusive of additional units provided
by a density bonus." The Sage Canyon project is statutorily exempt from
CEQA in that it is located in the R-30 Overlay Zone, which is designated for
’by right’ approval by Encinitas Municipal Code Chapter 30.09 (Zoning Use
Matrix, Note 35), proposes that 24 of 120 units (20 percent of base density),
will be affordable to lower income households; and is not requesting a
subdivision.Contact Person: Senior Planner Bustamante

Resolution No. 2026-14 titled, "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of
