If you want to know how Tuesday’s elections affected land use and real estate, check out today’s online version of the California Planning and Development Report, where a staff-written story details the results of related ballot measures throughout the state.
In balloting Tuesday on local land use measures in California, slow-growth advocates won 22 of 36 elections. Opponents of development rejected an ambitious plan for the San Diego waterfront, endorsed a tight growth control initiative in Redondo Beach, and extended agricultural land protections in Napa and Solano County. But pro-growth forces won high-profile victories in Oxnard, where a subsequent vote requirement was proposed for most projects, and in Santa Monica, San Marcos and Redwood City.
Voters rejected a proposal to set up and fund a fire protection agency for San Diego County, where wildfire has struck repeatedly and with devastating results.
