The Escondido City Council approved the 510-unit Palomar Heights development project that will replace the former Palomar Hospital campus with a mix of housing types and commercial uses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The decision was 3-2. With the three Republicans on the board voting in favor of the development, and the Democrats voting no.<\/p>\n

Supporters of the project included the local business community, whose members believe that it will enliven the downtown corridor and introduce new local business opportunities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAs we collectively look towards the future and continue to envision an even better Escondido, Palomar Heights helps us get closer to that goal,\u201d one person said.<\/p>\n

Palomar Heights will include 258 for-rent apartments, 90 senior apartments, and 162 row homes and villas. An additional 10,000 square feet will be used as commercial space.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gil Miltenberger, VP of acquisitions at Integral Communities, said that two studies commissioned by the company found that Palomar Heights would generate annual surpluses in revenues. <\/span><\/p>\n

Councilmember Mike Morasco was strongly in favor of the project, saying he considers it a \u201csmart growth\u201d investment because of its location at the center of town.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI think at this time it is what we need in the city of Escondido, as far as bringing families to downtown,\u201d Morasco said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Councilwoman Tina Inscoe was eager to vote yes on the project, saying that delaying it could harm downtown businesses. \u201cI just worry about their ability to hang on,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
