With state regulators watching, Del Mar council to decide fate of petition to repeal North Commercial upzone

A petition by Del Mar residents to repeal a recently approved zoning ordinance has been certified by the county, setting the stage for one of the City Council’s first big decisions of 2021.
The ordinance increases the density of 16 parcels of land off Jimmy Durante Boulevard, zoned as North Commercial, to 20 residential units per acre to fulfill state housing mandates. City planners estimate that the upzone would result in 19 affordable housing units.
But in response to the petition, council members have to either accept the repeal themselves or let residents vote in a future election.

With key deadlines approaching, the Del Mar City Council heard a presentation from city planners on Dec. 14 about the draft plan to accommodate 175 new housing units in Del Mar as part of the state’s sixth Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) cycle.
The online meeting was the first time the new council, which includes two newly elected members, addressed the state-mandated housing requirements. More substantive council discussion and feedback on housing will take place in the months ahead, before the April deadline for the state to approve the housing element. A Planning Commission review in February and final City Council review in March are two of the next steps in the process.
