Why This Vote Matters
The council unanimously agreed to put a resident-initiated housing proposal on the June 2016 ballot. The initiative would change zoning rules to allow a 59-unit housing development on Marina Way South. Rather than adopt the zoning change directly, the council chose to let voters decide the matter in a special election. If voters approve the initiative, the housing project can proceed under the new zoning rules.
