VOTE YES ON MEASURE RB - Rescue Our Waterfront

Keep This From Happening In Redondo Beach – Vote Yes on Measure RB

Over here at ROW we’ve got a lot of experience with attempted land takeovers by unscrupulous profiteers seeking to destroy our neighborhoods.

That’s why we feel the most important item for Redondo Beach voters to approve on the ballot November 5^th is Measure RB.

Unlike other ballot measures, this one costs the residents nothing but can nonetheless save our city from zoning takeovers by Sacramento legislators.

In a recent lawsuit, Redondo Beach and other Charter Cities were victorious against attempts by Sacramento to hijack our local control.

After the court win, city leaders found language in our current City Charter that could allow exposure to future lawsuits from the State and predatory developers unless corrected. This could allow deep-moneyed interests to exploit State laws to force high density projects ANYWHERE in the city by ignoring our zoning regulations.

Measure RB will make a small amendment to our City Charter to better protect the city from bad actors forcing zoning changes on Redondo Beach.

The measure will specially address the following:

Safeguards Local Control

Clarifies that a State-Certified Housing Element of the General Plan once approved by the City Council doesn’t need additional approvals to take effect. This prevents developers from using State law to argue our City Charter is not in compliance with our State-Certified Housing Plan.

Continues Resident Oversight

Continues to allow residents to vote on major zoning changes.

Modernizes communication

Updates how zoning information is distributed and moves away from costly and outdated mailings to distribute voluminous information to residents.

This measure is ABSOLUTELY VITAL for Redondo Beach and MUST BE APPROVED.

Stop those trying to take over our local zoning – VOTE YES ON MEASURE RB.
