FEB. <strong>22</strong>, <strong>2013</strong> UPDATE CONTINUED FROM A1 Avenue, some areas on the Highway 101 corridor and at Leucadia Boulevard and Saxony Boulevard, Vancer said. To aid GPAC in identifying where housing should go, the group was given 14 categories that it had to rank in terms of importance. Of the categories, GPAC’s greatest priority: housing should be near commercial services. Next on the list: an ar ea can accommodate mixed-use r esidential housing. Least important in GPAC’s book: housing density is 45 units per acre. Currently, most of Encinitas isn’t zoned for more than 25 units per acre. On a r elated note, Vancer said Council should work with other cities to ease housing requirements imposed by the state. <strong>The</strong> state demands cities build a certain n umber of units based on population growth. However, some residents who spoke at the meeting made the case that population growth in Encinitas is based on outdated, pre-recession data, and thus overstates growth. “<strong>The</strong> majority of the GPAC felt that the city should consider some kind of joint action with the League of California Cities to go after the legislature and ask them to make more friendly policies in r egards to the local cities,”Vancer said. Also, Vancer called on the city to turn do wn more developers who submit density bonus applications — a state law that lets developers increase density on lots in return for building lo wincome units. City staff, however, said that might not be possible, because density bon us is a state law. Mayor Teresa Barth said she was hopeful the city could work with the state. Specifically, she said the new director of the state’s Department of H ousing and Community Development doesn’t believe in “one-sizefits-all” development. “That bodes well for us,” Barth said. Additionally, Vancer said planning f or senior housing weighed heavily on GPAC’s decision ma king, as that segment of the population is expected to balloon in the coming years. Also, GPAC recommended town center developments. <strong>The</strong> group’s report states that town centers create walkable communities that are near transit and commercial services. Council thanked GPAC, received the report and said it would consider the recommendations. More than a month ago , Council voted not to act on any information related to the General Plan Update until they’ve had a chance to complete a series of r etreats and pinpoint their goals for be our fan on the<strong>Coast</strong><strong>News</strong>.com and click link the process. Last week, Council heard the Planning Commission’s recommendations for the housing element of the General Plan Update.
