Del Mar is under pressure from California to provide affordable housing. The city is required to make 113 units available by the end of the decade.
DEL MAR, Calif. — The Del Mar Fairgrounds hosts hundreds of events each year, including the San Diego County Fair, concerts and horse racing.
“I fully support this measure because it aligns with the push we've made at the county to leverage public land to build more affordable housing and combat rising home and rental cost,” said District 3 Supervisor Terra Lawson-Remer. "It's within a half mile from the North County District 308 and 101 bus lines and less than two miles from the Solana Beach train station," said Lawson-Remer.Through its adopted housing element, the city is required to make 113 units available by the end of the decade.
Druker says that's exactly what the city and District Agricultural Association, the agency which manages the state-owned fairgrounds, will spend the next 24 months doing.
