The city of Del Mar is closing in on an agreement with a grassroots group to withdraw a petition that could overturn a zoning change that the city needs to meet a state housing mandate.
The petition, submitted by the grassroots Hillside Community Association, could undo a recently passed zoning ordinance that increases the density on the North Commercial area off Jimmy Durante Boulevard to 20 residential units per acre. The city committed to completing that upzone in 2013, as part of the state’s fifth-cycle Regional Housing Needs Allocation.
