San Diego Mayor Gloria's 'Missing Middle' Housing Proposal Faces Opposition and Setbacks
San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria's proposal to implement Senate Bill 10 (SB 10), which would allow for the development of up to 10 homes on lots restricted to single-family homes, faced opposition from the San Diego Planning Commission. The proposal included restrictions such as limiting the number of homes based on lot size and requiring affordable housing units in larger buildings. Homeowners expressed concerns about privacy and aesthetics, while affordable housing builders and advocates argued for increased access to exclusive neighborhoods. The Planning Commission voted to oppose Gloria's implementation of SB 10, prompting the mayor to hold more workshops to seek a compromise.
