Del Mar City Council members all agreed Jan. 19 that they want to meet an April deadline to secure state approval for its new housing element, rather than pursue a longer deadline that could lead to state-imposed penalties. But how they will accomplish that remains unclear.
Two new council members who were elected in November have shifted the council majority in favor of pursuing density-averse alternative options to complete the new housing element, which needs to show the city’s plan for accommodating 175 new housing units.
