Developments in the City of San Diego’s “coastal overlay zone” are required to comply with State Coastal Commission and local regulations to preserve residential units occupied by low- and moderate-income families.
In general, the law requires one-for-one replacement if affordable units are demolished or converted to another use.
The developer also has the option to pay an in-lieu fee to the City of San Diego Housing Trust Fund, which is part of the Affordable Housing Fund.
