An empty city-owned lot on Quail Gardens Drive in Encinitas is at the heart of a contentious debate over affordable housing. Most speakers at Wednesday's city council meeting opposed building housing on the site.
Some residents want a park, and some support the affordable housing development the city has proposed, which is 30 to 45 units.While the original motion to study the site for the development failed, the city isn’t taking affordable housing off the table.
"I think we would all benefit — the community included — by having a conversation and taking a deep dive into these new laws and seeing if there's a way to achieve 45-plus affordable units in some other way than developing this site," Encinitas Mayor Tony Kranz said."That doesn't necessarily mean this site goes away as a potential housing site."I love hearing from the community and listening to what's important to you. No story is too small.
