The city of Del Mar will try to complete a fire evacuation study for the Crest Canyon area in nine months as part of an effort to appease the proponents of a referendum that could overturn a recent zoning change.
A community workshop about that plan will be held in about three months, based on a request from the proponents that the city attorney announced during the council’s April 19 meeting.
Last year the City Council adopted a zoning ordinance that increased the density on the city’s North Commercial parcels, located off Jimmy Durante Boulevard, to 20 units an acre. Council members needed to approve the zoning change to fulfill a commitment made in the city’s housing element for the state’s fifth Regional Housing Needs Allocation.

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.
