Update city plans to match voter-approved housing restrictions in El Sobrante Hills
In Plain English
Voters previously approved the Richmond Hills Initiative to block new housing on 430 acres of undeveloped hillside land in El Sobrante. The city's official planning documents still allow housing in this area. If approved, the General Plan and zoning rules change to match what voters decided.
