It is in the interest of every homeowner to stay current on the city’s plans to update their affordable housing plan. Several of the proposed locations for additional housing are very close to Encinitas Ranch and could impact both traffic and the overall aesthetics of Quail Gardens Drive.

These include the following:

1. Echter Property – at the northwest corner of Leucadia Blvd. and Quail Gardens Drive
2. Sunshine Gardens – at the northeast corner of Quail Gardens Drive and Encinitas Blvd.
3. Baldwin & Sons property – south of the Jehovah’s Witnesses Church on Quail Gardens Drive
