California: Ballot measure would let voters decide on development

Tue, May 4 2010 — Source: Orange County Register

A proposed measure on the June 8 ballot would, if passed, allow residents to vote on developments that require changes to the city’s general plan or zoning code. Measure D, known as the “Right to Vote Initiative,” classifies development projects in two categories: those that would require minor amendments to the general plan or zoning code, and those that would require major amendments. Developments that require major amendments would have to be voted on.
