UGBs On The Rise, Housing Caps In Decline

Urban growth boundaries and subsequent voter approval are getting more popular -- while housing and population caps are not. That's the conclusion of Solimar Research Group's latest research report, Growth Management Ballot Measures in California, prepared for the Local Government Commission and now available at www.solimar.org. The new report provides a comprehensive overview of: * Growth management techniques used in California* The impact of those techniques on communities* Where and how growth management is enacted via the ballot* What issues cities face in implementing growth management enacted by the voters. Growth Management Ballot Measures in California is the second in a series of reports by Solimar Research Group about ballot-box zoning. A third report, providing much more detail on the patterns of ballot measures in California communities, will be released later this summer.
