A real estate company proposed building at least 1,020 affordable homes at Pacifica’s long-dormant Rockaway Quarry, leveraging California’s “builder’s remedy,” a legal tool that allows developers to bypass local zoning in cities found to be non-compliant with state housing laws.

If the project is realized, Pacifica, which has a history of rejecting development proposals for the site, could fulfill half of its state-mandated requirement to build 1,892 housing units by 2031.
