County of San Diego VMT Ordinance

The Supervisors adopted, by a 3-2 vote, a proposal that would limit future construction to 4,025 developable units on County lands, which is significantly fewer that the approximately 19,000-unit plan approved in 2020 by the previous Board of Supervisors. Of note, the County-assigned minimal target for housing developments, known as the Regional Housing Needs Assessment (RHNA), is 6,700 units. The adopted proposal would prevent the County from achieving their RHNA obligations and force more working families to look for housing opportunities in areas like Temecula, Murrieta and even across the border in Tijuana.
