CORONADO, Calif. — New affordable housing mandates have taken hold in four cities after their lawsuit was declined to be heard at the California Supreme Court.
Because of the decision today, the City of Coronado is going to be forced to change our zoning to accommodate over 900 more housing units.
Each city has their own mandate for new housing units, but Coronado is certainly working with the least amount of room to successfully complete their mandate.
SANDAG and the state of California are desperate to bring housing prices down and find affordable housing for workers who commute to expensive communities. The cities will be forced to comply or face losing their ability to manage their own housing plans.
“The state has given themselves the ability to allow developers to get the right to build directly from the state,” Bailey said.
The cities have six months to a year to develop their new zoning laws or potentially suffer severe state actions.

I have seen the space available in Coronado first hand, there is not a lot of it. So Coronado is either going to have to build more high rise buildings (which past zoning laws have halted years ago after the tall apartments near the Del were build) or convert most of their green spot parks to housing.
