22. TENTATIVE SUBDIVISION MAP GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT, PREZONE, ANNEXATION, PRELIMINARY AND MASTER DEVELOPMENT PLAN, GRADING EXEMPTIONS, AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT, TRACT 932, (HALLMARK - CASE NO. 2005-47-PZ/PD/DA/GE, 2005-05-GPA, 2001-05-AN) A proposed 179-lot residential subdivision on a 149.9-acre site located east of Vista Avenue and Lehner Avenue and to the northwest of Vista Verde Avenue with lots ranging in site from 10,000 SF to 26,137 SF. The project also includes a request for a prezone to PD-R-1.6, development agreement, grading exemptions for cut slopes of up to 50 feet and fill slopes of up to 42 feet, and annexation of five parcels. Additionally, off-site improvements to Ash Street between Vista Avenue and Sheridan Avenue are proposed to mitigate for traffic impacts. A new water reservoir will be constructed as part of the project with an off-site water line extending down Vista Verde Drive between the southern boundary of the subject site and El Norte Parkway. A General Plan Amendment is proposed to redesignate a portion of Vista Avenue from a "Collector" to a "Local Collector." The five parcels are within the unincorporated territory of San Diego County, but are located in the City's Sphere of Influence and are contiguous with the City boundary. Annexation of the five parcels would necessitate the following jurisdictional charges: Annexation to the City of Escondido, detachment from County Service Area (CSA No. 135) (San Diego Regional Communications System), detachment from Rincon del Diablo Municipal Water District (MWD) and Fire Department Improvement District "E". The property is located within the North Broadway/Tier 2A designation of the General Plan and has a Land Use Designation of E2 (Estate II) (Continued from 2/7/07)
