Del Mar North Bluff - The 259-Home Project Sparking Debate

One of the most closely watched housing proposals in North County just hit another major milestone.

The proposed Seaside Ridge project would bring 259 housing units, including 85 affordable homes, to Del Mar’s North Bluff near Dog Beach. The project has been at the center of an ongoing debate over housing, coastal development, local control, and California housing laws.

✨ Key Facts:

• 259 proposed housing units

• 85 affordable homes included

• 9 residential buildings

• Buildings ranging from 2–5 stories

• New road access from Camino Del Mar

• Bluff-top public access improvements

• Parking proposed above state minimum requirements

• Located on Del Mar's North Bluff near Dog Beach

• Led by: Carol Lazier

• Developer argues the project qualifies under California’s Builder’s Remedy law

📆Current Status:

In May 2026, the Del Mar City Council unanimously denied the application after determining it remained incomplete and inconsistent.

Bottom Line:

The future of the Seaside Ridge project remains uncertain. While the city denied the application, ongoing litigation continues. The developer argues the city missed a legal deadline and that the project should automatically be considered complete. This means the future of the project is still uncertain.
