Penn + Elm is situated within the S-P (Specific Plan) zoning designation, which is used by the City of Escondido to tailored development within specially planned districts. S-P Zoning allows for adaptable land-use standards, density provisions and development guidelines unique to each Specific Plan area, enabling flexibility in design and permitting. Depending on the applicable Specific Plan sub-area, the zoning may support mixed-use or multifamily residential development, enhanced height allowances, walkability-focused site planning and opportunities to incorporate affordability or community-serving uses. When paired with California’s Density Bonus Law, developers can further increase allowable density, height and reduced parking ratios allowing this offering well-positioned for near-term multifamily or mixed-use redevelopment.
