Two months after the report aired, the City of Del Mar met the state&#8217;s minimum housing plan requirements.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was recently heard. The judge asked us to go back to the city though and get a final determination on the project, a yes or no. So, either the city must deem our project complete, or it must reject our project. So, we&#8217;ve asked the city to rule on our project within 60 days, either move forward or reject the project,\u201d Seaside Ridge, Spokesperson, Darren Pudgil said.<\/p>\n<p>Pudgil said there are signs pointing towards future success in the court system.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe lawsuit that we&#8217;re filing is very similar to a successful lawsuit that was filed against the city of La Canada, Flint Ridge, just north of LA, in which the city lost and now must allow a housing development up there to proceed,\u201d Pudgil said.<\/p>\n<p>Affordable housing is based on a percentage of a county\u2019s area median income. In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sandiegocounty.gov\/sdhcd\/rental-assistance\/income-limits-ami\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">San Diego County<\/a> in 2025, 80% of AMI was $132,400 for a family of four.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the project&#8217;s going to get built. It may take a year. It may take some time to wind its way through the courts,\u201d Pudgil said.<\/p>\n<p>NBC 7 reached out to the City of Del Mar for more information about the project\u2019s approval process but has not received a response at the time of publication.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The City of Del Mar is a desirable location on the coast of San Diego County.
