This is the second time the district has allowed a developer to build housing on surplus land no longer needed for school facilities. But it's the first where all the units will be rent-restricted.

San Diego Unified School District officials took a key step forward this week with their plan to help ease the local housing crisis by letting developers build large rent-restricted apartment complexes on excess school property. District trustees selected a developer to transform the former campus of Central Elementary in City Heights into 327 rent-restricted units — 57 for seniors and 270 for families and individuals.

The second phase will include 57 units for seniors and classrooms for TRACE, the district's school for adults with disabilities. The developer, Affirmed Housing, has agreed to spend $4 million renovating old Central Elementary classrooms to make them ready for TRACE. Affirmed has also agreed to pay the district $250,000 in annual rent for the 5.6-acre site. The district's surplus-land policy, approved nearly 10 years ago, prioritizes maintaining ownership over selling to developers.
