Encinitas To Host Housing Element Workshop On Feb. 1

ENCINITAS, CA – Following the failure of Measure T, the Encinitas City Council is encouraging community input on the city's housing element update during a Feb. 1 workshop.

Encinitas is the only city in San Diego County that does not have a state-mandated housing plan. Therefore, the council is welcoming feedback from community members on the type of housing plan they can support.

Measure T was a plan to increase housing density in Encinitas. The measure, however, was defeated by a nearly 56-44 margin in November.

According to an announcement from the city, the format of the Feb. 1 workshop will be "conversational and focused on identifying areas of consensus, community priorities and a unifying approach going forward."

The meeting will take place at 6 p.m. at the Encinitas Community and Senior Center, 1140 Oakcrest Park Drive.
