San Diego was among cities affected by a recently passed density bill that awaited the governor's signature after clearing the legislature in Mid-Q3.
Under the measure, San Diego would need transit hub districts, where sites near at least one transit stop must allow heights up to 150 feet.
San Diego also would have to permit buildings up to 450 feet in at least a quarter of all its regional transit hub districts.
The measure was part of California's push to boost housing density toward 2.5M new homes by 2030, while adding new, unknown costs for San Diego.
If signed, the bill would trigger a housing construction loan and financing study, and San Diego's mayor had already endorsed the policy in Early-Q2.
