CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE
Cardiff State Beach Living Shoreline Project Provides Important Benefits


City leaders and partner agencies will be celebrating the completion of the Cardiff State Beach Living Shoreline project on Wed. May 22 at 10 a.m. on the south parking lot of the Chart House Restaurant. This project is designed to help protect Coast Highway 101 from flooding and overtopping during our winter storms - a problem being exacerbated by sea level rise. 

The project consists of a series of sand dunes placed over a deeply buried structure of boulders and vegetated with native coastal plants. The dunes are expected to create excellent beach wildlife habitat. A new walking trail along the east side of the project will provide a great viewing area. Project managers are asking residents to please avoid walking on the south part of the project area until final work is completed in mid-June. For details about the project,  please  visit the city's website .

Affordable Housing Incentive Roundtable Discussion                                      
An Affordable Housing Incentive Roundtable is scheduled for Thursday, May 30, 2019 from 4:00 to 5:30 p.m. in the Poinsettia Room at City Hall. The City of Encinitas has submitted its Fifth Cycle Housing Element to the State Department of Housing and Community Development for approval.  In addition, the City has recently modified its inclusionary housing ordinance which increases the number of affordable housing units required to be produced for new developments. The following is a link to the City's new inclusionary housing ordinance. (Ordinance No. 2018 - www.qcode.us/codes/encinitas/)  
 
As part of this effort, the City will hold a May 30 roundtable discussion with interested parties to discuss and develop incentives and ideas to increase the number of affordable units produced over and above the inclusionary requirements set forth in the ordinance. The focus of the open discussion will be to review the new inclusionary requirements and receive input on possible incentives and ideas on how to increase the development of affordable housing in the City.  Participants with backgrounds in development (affordable housing and market rate), the building industry and affordable housing advocates are being invited to participate in the discussion.  Additionally, there will be opportunity for the public to provide input at the beginning and end of the meeting. 
 
The incentive ideas developed during the roundtable discussion will be presented to the City Council at a meeting that is anticipated to be held in July. For more information please contact Diane S. Langager, Principal Planner at (760) 633-2714 or  [email protected] .
