What plans exactly will Hometown Democracy affect?
The opposition is trying to scare voters into thinking that Amendment 4 will impact minor rezoning, individual development approvals and the like, but it won’t. What Amendment 4 WILL do is give voters a seat at the table when changes are made to the overall master growth plan. Voters won’t weigh in on every new grocery store or hotel, but will vote when a speculator wants to change, for example, farmland to apartments, or turn a residential area into a commercial zone. Only speculators who insist on building outside the already agreed-upon areas will face a vote.
