Measure to repeal 30-foot height limit in Midway District passes by narrow margin. Opponents said removing the height limit would block coastal views and cause density issues leading to traffic congestion in the area.
SAN DIEGO – A city of San Diego ballot measure that would remove the 30-foot coastal height limit for buildings in the Midway District appeared Thursday to have been approved by a narrow margin.
Measure C’s supporters included San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria, Councilman Chris Cate, and the Midway Community Planning Group. In their ballot statement, supporters said the measure “is the key to creating a pedestrian- friendly, transit-oriented community with entertainment, shops, and outdoor recreation.” They also said the Midway District is not a coastal area and should not have been included in the Coastal Height Limit Zone established in 1972.
In 2020, voters approved an identical measure to remove the height limit, but opponents sued the city and a judge ruled in their favor, stating that the city did not conduct proper environmental analysis before putting that measure before voters.
