SDCTA Supports Amendment to San Diego Municipal Code 132.0505 Coastal Height Limit

This measure demonstrates positive economic implications through increased tax base from development, as well as taking the item to a vote of the people demonstrates good governance and supports the previous views of SDCTA on these items. Increased housing and commercial development with increased height limits will spur increased tax revenues. Increases in height limits supports the adopted Community Plan Update that calls for increases in housing and density for a revitalization of the area. The measure will also help support the Grand Central Station project by increasing populations in a central area close to mass transit, the airport and key military operations/job centers. SDCTA has supported increased height limits twice in the past for similar reasons.
