City of Encinitas Zoning Admin Hearing Live Stream 10/27/2026

The City of Encinitas Zoning Administrator hearing on October 27, 2026, considered three land-use applications. Staff recommended approval of a coastal development permit and substantial conformance permit for a residence in Seabluff Village to convert about 900 square feet of crawl space to habitable area and an existing 149-square-foot office to a bedroom. Staff also recommended approval of a coastal development permit for reconstruction of Paul Ecke Elementary School, including new school buildings and associated site improvements, utilities, stormwater facilities, and temporary construction trailers. The school district had elected under Government Code Section 53094 to make local zoning ordinances inapplicable, and its environmental impact report had been certified. The third item was a design review and coastal development permit for an 18.4-square-foot, five-foot-high monument sign at the Cove La Costa residential subdivision; staff recommended approval.

The hearing was for public comment, with decisions to be made later after review of any comments. No public speakers were recorded, and no votes, contract awards, purchasing decisions, or budget allocations were reported. Although the school item involved a substantial construction project, the transcript identified no procurement activity.
