It was May 11,2011 when the San Diego County Board of Supervisors voted to approve Passarelle’s Campus Park project northeast of Interstate 15 and State Route 76.
The supervisors’ 5-0 vote May 11 approved the General Plan Amendment, Specific Plan Amendment, and zone reclassification for the project, granted a vesting site plan and a “B” designator site plan, adopted a vested tentative map, and made environmental findings which include overriding considerations for impacts which cannot be mitigated solely by the Campus Park project.
The Campus Park development comprises 416 non-contiguous acres bisected by the future Palomar College campus.
Campus Park is designed as a walkable community where you can live, work, shop, and play without ever getting into your car.”
North County Times reported:
Besides the 751 homes that will be built, the development will include 157,000 square feet of office and professional space, 61,200 square feet of commercial buildings, public and private recreational facilities, including a sports park large enough for several fields, and new roads.
It will essentially be the largest housing development in the history of Fallbrook, and could boost the community’s population by as much as 5 percent —- or 2,000 people, according to U.S. Census statistics citing an average of 2.73 “persons per household” in San Diego County.
And that figure doesn’t include the other two developments proposed for the same area. Meadowood and Campus Park West, a separate proposal, are also in the planning process, and together would add almost 2,000 homes and more commercial, industrial and office buildings to what is now bare land.
