The Del Mar Fairgrounds is now being looked at as a possible site for the building of 61 low-income homes.
It’s a place filled with multi-million-dollar homes, many of them with ocean views. Like other communities around Southern California, Del Mar is looking for ways to build low-income homes to satisfy a state requirement.
The 22nd District Agricultural Association, which runs the fairgrounds for the state, is working with Del Mar to explore the possibility of building a development somewhere on the perimeter of the 324-acre property. The city and the agriculture district have entered into an exclusive negotiating rights agreement to see if the plan might work.
The plan is in its infancy. Those working on it are still trying to identify the best places on the fairgrounds to build housing.“The siting of this project is really important,” said Michael Gelfand, first vice-president of the 22nd District. “Access, egress, it needs to be close to shopping — all of those issues are part of it, but also how it affects what the fairgrounds will ultimately be.
