I believe this affects the areas within the Balboa Station Specific Plan and Morena Corridor Specific Plan.

Here are the proposed land use maps for each showing the boundaries of the plan areas:

It upzones the strip along Morena, but leaves most of the single-family land untouched. Could have added a lot more density, but this is probably what was politically feasible. The NIMBYism in that area is surprisingly strong for what seems to be a pretty marginal neighborhood.

Someone more knowledgeable of SD planning could correct me if I'm wrong on any of this of course; the article is pretty vague about what exactly this court ruling affects.
