Senate Bill 79, the Abundant and Affordable Homes Near Transit Act, takes effect in July and allows developers to build structures up to nine stories tall near major transit stops in eight California counties. The law overrides local zoning restrictions in Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego, Alameda, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara and Sacramento counties—jurisdictions with at least 15 passenger rail stations. Height allowances range from six to nine stories for Tier 1 heavy-rail locations and five to eight stories for Tier 2 light-rail and bus rapid transit sites, extending to neighborhoods within a half-mile of transit stops. State Senator Scott Wiener introduced the bill in 2025 to accelerate housing production across California’s urban core. Cities can delay the law’s requirements until 2030 by adopting their own density plans, but projects submitted before local plans are finalized will still fall under SB 79. City of El Cajon has advised developers to look into the application of new state laws AB2011 and SB6 which may help you to up-zone the residential component of this proposed redeveloped mixed-use. However Developers should also look into Chapter 19.90 for State Bonus Density to see if it applies. Senate Bill SB684 Bonus Overlay/Senate Bill 1123 (Ministerial Permitting) may also be helpful.

This City of El Cajon is screaming for developers to come in and revamp the area within the new Commercial Village overlay. Contact me to learn more about this property. City of El Cajon has advised developers to look into the application of new state laws AB2011 and SB6 which may help you to up-zone the residential component of this proposed redeveloped mixed-use. This area is just east of the 8 freeway with frontage on W. Main St. as you enter El Cajon and walking distance to Trolley Line. City is anxious to see this area redeveloped into a "North Park" of the east with tons of walking traffic, restaurants, retail, office and some upper units. This area is just primed for your developers looking for a new mixed-use project with very low parking requirement.

This area is primed for redevelopment as part of the “Green Street Gateway” and “Commercial Village.” The is easily accessible and within 2 short blocks of HWY 8 onramps, the major signal at Marshall and Main Street, around the corner from El Cajon's transit hub and Trolley stop known as the El Cajon Transit Center, and blocks of several major car dealerships including Mossy Nisan, Mercedes and Toyota of El Cajon. "The area immediately surrounding the transit station is an aging industrial and heavy commercial area which interfaces with residential neighborhoods comprised of single and multi-family residences. The Planning Area contains a diverse mix of uses but lacks the appropriate infrastructure, public amenities, and commercial services to function as a complete neighborhood that promotes alternative mode of transportation and that is a desirable and attractive place to live, walk, bike, work or shop." Pg. 14. p 2.3 El CAJON TRANSIT DISTRICT SPECIFIC PLAN.

The City is inviting Developers to come and bring their MIXED-USE solutions to an area that deeply needs regeneration and life. This is the perfect block to start on. Seller has these two parcels along with the two abutting parcels with vacant warehouse to the west corner of Millar Ave and W. Main St, a main thoroughfare into the City from both La Mesa and Santee. Seller would consider a sale with the same buyer of first two parcels and then of the second two parcels (in a separate sale) to allow a developer acquire almost an entire block or about 22,000 SF +/-. This area desperately needs a shopping center with grocer, restaurants, small retail and office. The 35’ height allows a developer to expand his project and fulfill the needs of the city with the inclusion of residential or shopkeeper units. The very low parking requirement sitting in the transit district should allow a developer to maximize their FAR for income producing suites and units. City wants this to be a walking, pedestrian friendly district. The project will serve not only the hundreds of employees at major car dealerships, but also the residential homes directly backing these parcels. The city is anxiously awaiting a developer to work with on rejuvenating this area to benefit its community. All 3D Modeling and Visualization is taken directly from the City of El Cajon's Transit District Specific Plan. These parcels sit within the KEY NODES and focus for their development around key intersections and the transit station. BRING YOUR DEVELOPERS TO EL CAJON. With recent passage of AB 2011 and SB 6 residential units are getting a major push from the State and allowing for underutilized and vacant industrial, commercial to provide for the much needed housing our county lacks. This Mixed-Use Project could be the solution. DEVELOPER INCENTIVES from the City under 3.12 pg. 22 of EL CAJON TRANSIT DISTRICT SPECIFIC PLAN. (VIEW LINK)
