Hoping to find quantitative data that can measure the impact of short-term rentals under the city of San Diego’s new ordinance, the La Jolla Community Planning Association will work with the Ocean Beach Planning Board on a set of metrics to submit to the city.
The idea came from the San Diego Community Planners Committee, which has representation from all the city’s planning groups. The metrics were to be taken back to the groups for feedback before a final list is voted on this month.
The new STR ordinance was signed into law in April and is to be reviewed annually for effectiveness.

With the San Diego Unified School District including its five public schools that make up the La Jolla Cluster having returned to campuses last week for onsite/online hybrid instruction, district staff is eyeing the summer and beyond.
The summer program currently planned “will not be the traditional credit-recovery summer school,” district board member Michael McQuary, whose District C includes La Jolla, said at the April 15 meeting of the La Jolla Cluster Association.
This year, he said, “the school board directed the superintendent to develop a robust 2021 ‘summer experience,’” the district’s replacement term for “summer school.”
The program will be available to all students from transitional kindergarten through 12th grade who choose to attend, McQuary said. It will include “academic, social, emotional, project-based and enrichment components.”
