San Diego City Council Meeting

Why This Matters for NFABC:
The City Council will be voting on a package of housing recommendations forwarded by the Land Use & Housing (LU&H) Committee. These proposals could significantly impact:

🏘️ Zoning rules and density bonuses that affect the scale and type of housing in our neighborhoods
🏠 Affordable and middle-income housing production goals
🧱 Streamlining processes for developers—possibly reducing community oversight
🌳 Impacts on neighborhood character, parking, and infrastructure

Why You Should Pay Attention:
These policies will influence how and where new housing is built in San Diego—including in and around the North Fairmount area. If passed, they could permanently reshape our neighborhood.

What You Can Do:

  • Attend in person or watch online

  • Submit a public comment or eComment

  • Talk to your neighbors and make your voice heard!

City of San Diego Bonus ADU Hearing

San Diego Land Use & Housing Committee | Thursday, May 15 @ 1 PM

On Thursday, May 15, the San Diego City Council’s Land Use and Housing Committee will consider the Mayor’s proposal to repackage the controversial Bonus ADU Program — a policy that has already destabilized neighborhoods, fueled investor-driven overdevelopment, and increased fire and infrastructure risks.

Let’s be clear:
This is not reform. It’s retreat.
And unless we raise our voices now, the damage will deepen.

We urge all San Diegans who care about neighborhood stability, family housing, and responsible planning to take immediate action.
