San Diego Local Pulse: ADU Sales Approved, Santa Ana Winds Return, Zoo Exhibit Opens
Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description
Good morning, this is San Diego Local Pulse for Friday, March 6. We kick off with breaking developments from city hall, where county supervisors just approved an ordinance letting owners sell accessory dwelling units, or granny flats, separately to boost affordable housing. This takes effect in 30 days, giving builders more flexibility near places like Oceanview Hills and helping families in Chula Vista afford homes amid our tight market, where median prices hover around 950,000 dollars. It aligns with state law and means more options for first-time buyers.
Shifting to courts, a lawsuit against El Cajon over sharing license plate reader data from 100 cameras with out-of-state agencies got pushed to July 2. State AG Rob Bonta worries it aids federal profiling, but city leaders insist it's just for fighting local crimes like carjackings on Friars Road. Cameras stay up for now.
On the roads, yesterday's semi crash on I-15 south of Friars spilled diesel into a storm drain, closing lanes and causing big backups in Mission Valley, but all cleared by early morning. CHP wants witnesses. In City Heights, a driver sheered a fire hydrant on 45th Street last night, flooding apartments, with no injuries reported.
Crime watch: In Chula Vista, hoarder house case suspect Lisa Golden's sentencing delayed again to May 5 after 15 years of neighbor harassment on Seedrift Way, including threats and fires. And activist Jean Wong got 45 days house arrest, no jail, for slapping an ICE agent at Mesa Apartments in Linda Vista last summer; she's back in court tomorrow on trespass charges. Stay vigilant, folks.
Feel-good news: Elephant Valley, our new massive exhibit, just opened at San Diego Zoo Safari Park, drawing families for an up-close wildlife thrill.
Weather's warming with gusty Santa Ana winds kicking in tomorrow through the weekend, highs near 75 today, perfect for outdoor plans but watch for dry brush fires. Mosquito season might start early too, so dump standing water.
Jobs look steady with housing pushes creating construction roles, about 5,000 openings countywide. Padres buzz builds as Dominican Republic team preps for the World Baseball Classic.
Upcoming: Community clean-up at Ocean Beach Saturday. Local high schools shone with basketball wins last night.
