Update: Greenlight II Initative Signatures Submitted
The Orange County Register reported on May 31, 2006, that the backers of anti-development initiative Greenlight II turned in more than 9,100 signatures, of which 6,056 must be valid to secure a spot on the November ballot. This is bad news for property rights in Newport Beach, California. As I previously reported, this new initiative will put strenuous limitations on commercial and residential developments, requiring a successful election for anything other than the smallest of projects, including projects consistent with the existing general plan. A property owner's right to develop property consistent with existing zoning should not be subject to a city-wide election. Fight this initiative!
