This is a ballot title review proceeding. They therefore are entitled to seek our review. Yes' vote eliminates state land use authority, local use restrictions on private land without compensation. No' vote retains state, local land use, zoning authority that may restrict private land uses. Current law establishes state, local authority to regulate private land uses without compensation, if owner retains some economic use of land.
Measure eliminates state authority to regulate private land use, zoning in cities, counties.
Measure prohibits local land use, zoning laws that restrict private property uses or reduce land's market value, without owners' written request or payment of compensation for lost market value. Makes unenforceable such laws adopted after owners' purchase. Prohibits restricting previously allowed uses of land transferred by owner. Petitioners challenge the Attorney General's certified caption and result statements. We have considered each of petitioners' arguments but are not persuaded that those portions of the certified ballot title fail to comply substantially with the statutory requirements.
