Measure C, which would repeal the 30-foot height limit in Midway District remains too close to call. Yes on C is ahead by 8,000 votes, with about 80,000 ballots yet to be counted.
SAN DIEGO – A city of San Diego ballot measure that would remove the 30-foot coastal height limit for buildings in the Midway District remained too close to call Tuesday, but results were leaning toward the measure’s passage.
Measure C’s passage would exclude the 1,324-acre Midway-Pacific Highway Community Plan area from the existing 30-foot height limit on buildings, which supporters say will spur housing opportunities and revitalize a run-down neighborhood. 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.

The district was previously held for seven terms by moderate Democrat Rep. Kurt Schrader and was targeted by the GOP, which saw the 5th as vulnerable after the long-time incumbent's primary defeat by progressive candidate Jamie McLeod-Skinner.
