A California Superior Court <a href="https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/politics/story/2021-04-15/ruling-clears-way-for-high-rise-housing-along-new-morena-boulevard-trolley-line">dismissed</a> two lawsuits challenging the City of San Diego’s approvals of two land use plans—the Morena Corridor Specific Plan, which addressed approximately 280 acres and was intended to create a “pedestrian-oriented village” and increase housing near transportation facilities, and the Balboa Avenue Station Area Specific Plan, which affects approximately 210 acres and also was intended to provide a framework for transit-oriented development. The court rejected neighborhood groups’ claims that the City failed to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act and that the plans violated the City’s General Plan and Climate Action Plan as well as community plans.
