Signs announcing its arrival went up on the construction site this week, and though Chick-fil-A’s website does not list an opening date, Patch has contacted a spokesperson to find out the timeline and will report it as soon as that information is available.

Chick-fil-A pulled its building permits back in October, according to . The paperwork sates that the 3,100-square-foot restaurant at 194 N. El Camino Real has a construction value of $1 million.

Check back soon for more updates about Chick-fil-A’s debut in Encinitas.

Carol;
"Huffington Post" . .PUKE !!! I -and ALL my friends WILL make up for your ignorance and intolerance. "hostile"??!! HOW you figure? They adhere to Federal and State "employment" laws! They, like the MAJORITY of CA voters, believe that 'marriage' is between 1 man & 1 woman. They are VERY welcome to the neighborhood and will prosper.

Isn't a shameful situation when the gay, lesbian scream hostility because there are people who disagree. I've been yelled at because I refused to sign a petition when coming out of Target by a young woman asking for signatures. Called a hate monger and probably believe abuse is okay. We will give Chick-fil-a our business.
Where is the positive accolades for what this business for their employees? How quick people forget the good when a company, in their opinions, is not politically correct. Shame, shame.. Who is the actual negative side?

I went for the first time last week to one in San Marcos to show my support. I was very impressed with the employees, service and enjoyed the food. I pass by the location in Encinitas every day and will make it a regular stop. Gays stand up and take 'pride' in their lifestyle but when an employer supports traditional marriage (as Obama did before he flip-flopped), his business is targeted. How unAmerican is that? P.S. CFA also gives back to the community by offering college scholarships.

It is indeed very disappointing that our wonderful town of Encinitas will be blighted by the presence of this homophobic Christian fascist business. It will be boycotted by those of us who do not patronize places where the profits goes to the promotion of hate and oppression of fellow citizens who deserve the same rights and equality as everyone else.

It's a fast food chain, they don't need your "support" other than as a chikn' burger consumer. Eat there, if you must, because you want a greasy sandwich, or because the place is convenient, or whatever.... But to go there to "show support" is just the same as advertising your own personal bigotry. Don't deny it either.

Rick Moore June 18, 2013 at 09:27 am
I wholeheartedly agree with the recommendation that folks read the initiative. When you read…Read More sections 6 and 9, you will see that Prop A sets a 30-foot or 2-story ceiling across the entire city, overriding lower height limits in many areas. The Downtown Specific Plan limits residences to 22-26 feet, as detailed on the DEMA website, so Prop A would actually allow the building of taller homes. It makes no exemptions or allowances for historic buildings like La Paloma, church towers or other structures over 30 feet high; the only exceptions are medical complexes and public high schools (see clause 6.2). Rebuilding or renovating (more than 50%) would require expensive public votes. Should the SRF be required to pay for an election to rebuild the Lotus Tower? Such contingencies are allowed for in our Historic Overlay Zone, which would clearly be overridden by Prop A. So is the Encinitas Preservation Association's plan to convert one of the boathouses to a museum. Again, Prop A would require an election (see section 4.1, clause e), which the EPA cannot afford. Prop A would thus favor large developers who have the money, time, lawyers and other resources to campaign for their project. How many nonprofits and small businessmen can afford to spend a minimum $30,000 just to get their project on a general election ballot (upwards of $300,000 for a special election like this one)? Yes, folks, please read the initiative, especially Section 9, which lays waste to anything that conflicts with it. That's why this has been dubbed Propzilla. I trust that most Encinitas citizens are smart enough to see that this meausre is deeply flawed, problematic and counter-productive. We can find much better ways to limit growth and preserve community character.

Yes, it will help to slow growth, by making sure that the public approves raising height limits or…Read More upzoning, for developments over the parameters of a MAXIMUM of 30 ft. and two stories. Lower set height limits will not be repealed, because they are not in conflict with the initiative or the General Plan. David Ahlgren's fear and speculation is not backed up by one single fact. He just raises the usual building industry "mantra" of alleged risks created by unnamed "unintended consequences." Council's attempt at a preemptive ordinance does NOT guarantee that will be placed on the ballot in 2014, and does NOT eliminate other loopholes such as the "less-than-5-acre" exception, the "categorization of intensity of use" exception, and the height limit exception. The only loophole that Council's drafted ordinance affects is Council's ability to vote by a 4/5 supermajority on upzoing if it is done with respect to a "significant public benefit." Not only is Council's recently drafted ordinance NOT guaranteed, in that a future Council could reverse it, if it is not enacted through a public vote, but also Council's attempt at preempting the "right to vote on upzoning and raising height limits initiative" DOESN"T eliminate the other loopholes that still exist in our General Plan, Policy 3.12., which exceptions I've spelled out, here.

An initiative to Prop A has worked in Escondido, without any lawsuits. "In the 26-year…Read More history of Encinitas, no council has ever used this provision to approve a major project without first a vote of the people." That's completely untrue. The North 101 and Downtown Encinitas Specific Plans were pushed through by the Planning Department, the Planning Commission and a supermajority of past Council AGAINST the wishes of citizens, against years of feedback from Specific Action Review Committees (Sparc)s and Community Advisory Boards (CABs), who wanted to stay with the limits of the General Plan of two stories, 30 ft, MAX, with certain exceptions, consistent with the Initiative! Just posting your opinion without any supporting evidence, Mr. Stocks, is only hurting your "cause." We and everyone we know, all our friends and neighbors, are voting YES on A! Voting YES is best if you want to take back your ability to help slow growth and to take back local control. Yes on A is a vote for Democracy and against insider influence and spinmaster jive promoted by marketing masters of misinformation, attempting to manipulate the uninformed masses with distortions of the truth. We don't need to be spoon-fed our opinions, but can think for ourselves, and act to protect and preserve our community character and our quality of life.
