Del Mar residents had another chance to weigh in on a proposed plan to move the train tracks off the city’s eroding bluff during a Feb. 5 City Council meeting.
Del Mar Planning Commissioners said during their Sept. 13 meeting that they want a policy to require accessory dwelling units to be used for housing, as opposed to recreational, leisure and other reasons that some residents build them for.

A proposal by the North County Transit District to install a 1.4-mile-long, 6-foot-high chain-link fence along each side of the railroad tracks atop Del Mar’s beachfront bluff drew an ocean of condemnation from city residents and council members at a council meeting on Monday, Jan. 11.
Residents and council members alike said the proposed fencing – from south of 4th Street to Seagrove Park - would obstruct beach access, denigrate pristine ocean views, and potentially lower property values and discourage tourism.
