After taking office, Mayor Gloria announced an ambition to build housing on top of new or redeveloped public facilities like libraries and fire stations. However, the city still has no concrete plans to put that policy into practice. From acbowen ⤵️
The ordinance passed by the City Council in February requires housing developments built over city facilities to set aside at least 25% of the apartments as affordable housing for low- or moderate-income households. Pounaki said he would prefer 100% affordable housing, but projects that include some market-rate housing would likely require less public subsidy and could potentially happen faster.
Stephen Russell, executive director of the nonprofit San Diego Housing Federation, said when public assets reach the end of their useful life, it's incumbent on city officials to reimagine them. There's an extra complication with putting housing above the adult center: It's part of the North Park Community Park. The ordinance passed in February excludes development on land designated as open space, which most parks are.
