State Mandate Forces Coronado to Raise Building Height Limits
What happened
The California Department of Housing and Community Development directed Coronado to raise the height limit of buildings along Orange Avenue. This mandate is part of efforts to address a state-wide housing crisis. If Coronado rejects the zoning change, the state could de-certify its Housing Element, which would trigger the “Builder’s Remedy” allowing structures of any height.

Why it matters
The mandate aims to increase housing supply in areas where people want to live, bypassing local zoning resistance. This action is part of a larger situation where high prices and strict zoning are impeding housing growth in California.
High prices and strict zoning are impeding housing growth, while government funds have failed to bridge the affordability gap in California.
