The developer for the Quail Meadows project, Baldwin & Sons, has revised its plans for the largest residential complex in the city’s history.

The developer’s previous version comprised 485 apartments within a pair of six-story monolithic buildings, described by a resident as “subpar Soviet-style architecture,” resting atop a 12-acre plot along Quail Gardens Drive.

The latest version of Quail Meadows Apartments will consist of 448 units, 37 fewer than the original. The proposal increases the number of affordable units to 90 while reducing the buildings’ size from six to four stories.

Under the revised proposal, the project will consist of two main buildings: Building 1 will contain 44 affordable and 168 market-rate units, while Building 2 will have 46 affordable and 190 market-rate units.  Each building will now have two levels of underground parking. A separate two-story fitness center and community amenity building with an outdoor pool will be located north of Building 1 along Quail Gardens Drive.

At some point in the next few months the developer will review their revised plans with the Encinitas Planning Commission. If you have concerns over this development and the potential impacts on our community then owners should attend this commission meeting. There will not be another Citizen Participation Program (CPP) event for the revised plans. This is not required. Once a date is set we will share that with the community.
