Encinitas adopted a state-mandated housing planning document earlier this month, accomplishing the job for the first time before the deadline, and agreeing in the process to dump two new city ordinances.
The council’s agreement to repeal both an ordinance regulating group homes and one on housing density was a compromise that was well-worth making because it may finally bring to a close the city’s endless cycle of housing-related lawsuits and conflicts with state housing officials, the city’s mayor said this week.
“We’re doing what needs to be done and we’re doing it responsibly,” said Mayor Catherine Blakespear, who voted with the council’s 4-1 majority to back the proposal.
