Santa Monica City Council to Consider Ballot Measure Requiring 'Super-Majority' Vote for Biggest Projects

12/14/2017 4:32 PM | Margaret Fulton (Administrator)

Despite dread of touching off more development warring, the Santa Monica City Council Tuesday voted to consider a ballot measure requiring a “super-majority” council vote for development exceeding City limits on size and height.

The vote asks City staff to examine such a measure for the November ballot next year.

The author, Councilmember Kevin McKeown, said he hoped a super-majority requirement approved by voters would help create “a period of development peace” for a city scarred over the issue of new development.
