The Housing Action Package 2.0, which was passed on a 7-1 vote on December 12, will get a second and final reading as part of the consent agenda at next Tuesday’s (January 9th, 10 AM) City Council meeting.
While Neighbors For A Better San Diego supported most of the initiatives in HAP 2.0, we continue to oppose the changes to Complete Communities Housing Solutions (CCHS).
Not only are the proposed changes ambiguous, contradictory, and incomplete, but they undermine San Diego’s commitment to housing affordability and starve the city of development fees to pay for needed infrastructure in older communities that will be disproportionately targeted by the new regulations.
Public comment on consent agenda items is limited, so we have submitted a list of 18 unresolved questions to the Councilmembers and the Planning Department that were not addressed at previous Planning Commission and City Council meetings. We have asked the Council to get answers to these questions before they make a final and fateful decision on January 9.
Despite the reduced in-person public testimony, there are no limitations on written comments, which can be submitted through the webform. HAP 2.0 is Item 56 of the agenda.
