London Moeder Advisors has recently completed two reports that address the elimination of minimum lot sizes for single-family homes in the City of San Diego. The existing minimum lot size is currently 5,000 square feet. By reforming this 100-year-old rule, the LMA report concludes that High-Density Family Homes (HDF) can be built on smaller lots at an average of 42% reduction in the housing cost. The following report details the economics behind this recommendation: LMA Report – LISC

LMA supplemented this study by examining the fiscal benefits of a minimum lot size reduction. This would be realized through a dramatic increase in property tax revenue to the City of San Diego, the County of San Diego and local school districts. The following report details the additional property tax revenue forecast for the next 20 years: LMA – Property Tax Revenue Forecast
