With the closure of the polls at 8 p.m. and ballot counts underway, Encinitas’ Proposition A is a wash with a near 50-50 split based on early absentee ballot results.

With about 3 percent of ballots counted, approval for Prop. A is ahead at 50.67 percent while “no” votes are 49.33 percent, according to the county registrar of voters.

If approved, Prop. A would impose a citywide height limit of two stories or 30 feet for all buildings and structures, among other major amendments to zoning.
