City Urged to Defy State Housing Rules

San Diego Union-Tribune
After hearing from passionate residents, the City Council last week postponed action on an update to the city’s housing code that would bring the city’s rules in compliance with state law. “This is the kind of ordinance that can change the environment of this community,” said George Rombach, a Temecula resident who spoke during the public hearing on the matter. Rombach was joined at the podium by six other residents who urged the council to defy the state and find out what would happen if Temecula stood up for “local control” of its housing laws.
