Del Mar property owner files lawsuit to build housing development

- An ocean view property in Del Mar that spans nearly 7 acres just north of Dog Beach is at the center of a legal controversy.
A developer wants to turn it into a large apartment complex called Seaside Ridge, with 259 apartments, including 42 that are designated lower income units. Two would be considered extremely low income, making them affordable for a family making just over $41,000 a year.
Ricardo Flores, Executive Director on the non-profit LISC San Diego, supports the project.
“We know that a family's zip code will determine their health, wealth, and life expectancy,” he said, pointing out 83% of Del Mar's residents are white. “They are, in some way, the poster child for a need for diversity because it's not just good for the families that move into Del Mar, but it's also good for the current families in Del Mar to live with more diversity.”
The City of Del Mar has been pushing back against the project, saying the land isn't zoned for that type of development. But the state says Del Mar must accommodate 113 new affordable housing units.
As a result, Seaside Ridge's developer filed a lawsuit Friday demanding Del Mar city leaders "approve the project as submitted, and issue all related, necessary project approvals."

The developer is going to make bank off this project. “Affordable housing” is purely a distraction.
Such a white wash, "this is for the diversity of the people"!!! That is a laugh. It's for the 100 million they stand to make, all in the name of Diversity. Typical Liberal BS!
"poster child for a need for diversity"... Sir, it is not your place to make such statements
.make that building for all people 😂😊
In a "different " part of town 😂😂😂!!! The city, and, NIMBY's would rather see them camp in their front yards because they never have an alternative solution when they whine😢😢😢.
Whose place is it, then, to tell the truth?
So arrogant for someone to decide who needs diversity. I always say diversity is not a virtue-it’s only numbers and quotas.
Exactly, and they never say why or how this supposed “diversity” makes the community better?? Please explain… btw, I have nothing against living in a naturally diverse area, but don’t force it on an area just because you think it’s too “white”!! 🤷♂️
Make it a city park instead
As someone with a local design company, We design pools, Eco communities, ADU's, food growing farms and ranches, greenhouses, landscapes both native and ornamental, Wildlife habitat restoration projects it is a shame to see that piece of coastal land be used for anything other than the community as some type of park. Environmentally speaking anything on that side of 101 is very risky and that being right on the north side of the lagoon even more so. The city or county should buy that land and create something that fits the environment but people could also enjoy. "Affordable housing" in that location would be a joke, how far will someone have to drive to find groceries at a reasonable price and not boutique shops along the beach designed for tourists. I grew up in a pristine section of coast on the Gulf Coast of Florida and it's sad to watch the seaside environments and access to the water's edge get cut off by greed and only benefit the select few. In the late '70s lived here by Moonlight Beach, there was so much better access to the water for the whole community then. We need places to live but the coast should be buffered and allowed to be shared by everyone.
You must be really angry at the millionares with mansions that have destroyed habitats all throughout san diego
If you care about affordable housing go build apartments in all the abandoned buildings in LA
Stop building on the coastline it’s already a mess going to the beach
Housing and the cost of living gets more affordable as you move inland. Forcing the city to approve high density developments (because let’s be honest, affordable housing is hardly the priority here) in a low density municipal is ethically wrong.
i cring and roll my eyes when i hear "diversity"
Did you see that rat on the left side of the fence? 0:38
"You can get a low rent apartment here but you'll have to shop in El Cajon."
Low rent does not exist in El Cajon , properties here are also very expensive for buyers .
Make it all affordable housing ❤
Sure!! Section 8 all the way! Meth labs and "massage" parlors!
@@kendallevans4079 Meth labs are found in luxury homes too..
Sorry, but we need to stop eating up the small bits of nature that we have left. Also, look at how badly our cliffs and sra buffs are eroding with recent storms. Why would we put people in that predicament? Low income is an excuse. 42 of 200something units?That's how all of these developments are. If they want to solve the crisis with development as an approach, then why not offer a larger majority of affordable units per each project? 😞
Need the trolley to run to Del Mar next
I make 17k before taxes...where will i live.
Fast food places pay more than $17,000. How is it that your salary is so low?

get another job and well see
@@youtubecarspottersguide1 If she only works part time, then of course she's not going to be able to afford rent. You can't expect anyone to bail you out if that's all that you do. Her situation is the result of bad decisions...in my opinion.
The property owner does not care about Del Mar , he/she is going to become very wealthy if this project goes thru , not good for Delmar residents who bought their houses for millions .
No
You do not need diversity.
Exactly! That idiot saying "diversity will be good for the citizens of DelMar" yet, he'll never live even close to it.
So you just racist 😂
@@yomommaitsahoe8115actually you are the racist!
Go diversify yourself!
NO MORE RACISM AGAINST WHITES !😊 if you dont study you don't get a free pass to a view !
@@yomommaitsahoe8115 So you're indoctrinated and anti-white? 🤔
@@yomommaitsahoe8115 and you are just retarded 😂
Say no!
make it a park so many can enjoy the view.
One of the few remaining green spaces between La Jolla and North end of Oceanside, That should definitely be an environmentally friendly park for many to enjoy and not part of just something being developed further eliminating access to the ocean for the select few and squeezing out the rest of the community. The attempts to spin doctor The project into something affordable or that would promote a diverse community is quite laughable..... They've got some pretty creative attorneys.
Stay strong! Don't give in
A different location
Why tf you wanna force poor people into an area they can't afford, even if they can pay the rent they can't enjoy the area lol
Nobody is forcing poor people to move there you dip. Also, who do you think work at the businesses throughout Del Mar? Rich NIMBYs like this person?
Such a dumb statement to say
@@jayjay1064 maybe, but it's true
@@jonblaze30 as someone who dose not make that much money and lives in the area i enjoy all the nice restaurants in the area and events that happen in Del Mar/Solana Beach
@@jayjay1064 then you wouldn't qualify for wat they're wanting to do lol I've frequented del mar many times and the prices on many things are ridiculous
please dont force diversity. if it's not happening naturally, then dont even bother.
The sick, evil, corrupt and tyrannical California Democratic Party politicians and it's supporters can not help themselves sadly.
Oh yeah.. Not in my backyard mentality means homeless everywhere.
As long as they stay the F away from me, I don't care, they could go live in hell!
What does race have to do with it ? So, low income people need waterfront property ? I’m low income , but I’m not asking anyone for any kind of home, nevermind waterfront in Del Mar. Reality check, people !!!
make a nice dog park
Tell me again that the population of California has declined. Where? Only in the Republican controlled Census. All other indicators of population dispute the Census numbers.
Yea made that building 🏢 for affordable housing f La Jolla People 😂
