San Diego City Council Modifies Mid-City Interim Height Ordinance
The San Diego City Council voted to continue the Mid-City Interim Height Ordinance (IHO) for another two years and pledged staff and financial support to complete the Uptown Community Plan. The IHO was first established in 2008 and was slated to sunset in 30 months. City staff had proposed that the height limit remain in place until the completion of the community plan update — but the plan is years behind schedule and a completion date remains elusive. The ordinance caps new construction at 50 feet or 65 feet along 5th Avenue, Robinson Avenue University Avenue and Washington Street.
The BIA, joined by the Hillcrest Business Association and the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce, opposed the open ended extension and called for the ordinance to sunset as planned.
