City establishes housing task force
THE VISTA NEWS
By Fiona Bork
ENCINITAS — The Encinitas City Council will assemble an affordable housing task force to explore alternative sites for a 100% low-income housing project after residents expressed concerns about the potential impacts of a development at the L-7 site on Quail Gardens Drive. In February, the council agreed to conduct an economic study exploring options for a low-density affordable housing de velopment at 634 Quail Gardens Drive. Proposals for the 7.86-acre site, known as L-7, included a 30-45-unit BLACKWELL residential subdivision with accessory dwelling units or a 60-plus-unit low-income senior apartment complex. However, during its June 26 meeting, the council agreed to pause design work for those specific proposals and will instead start the first phase of a three-part public engagement plan to continue gathering community feedback about a future housing development at L-7 through a series of discussion groups. The outreach effort will consist of three phases: Phase 1: sharing project information and gathering initial input; Phase 2: presenting design concepts based on community feedback; and Phase 3: refining these concepts with additional TURN TO HOUSING ON 28
