Thanks to the Initiative effort, Dana Point residents will have the chance they deserve to vote on how they want to see the Town Center developed. The Initiative:
- Promotes a downtown business district with shops, restaurants and convenient parking needed for their success, per the 2008 Town Center Plan
- Preserves Dana Point’s village atmosphere and quality of living for all residents
- Prevents Town Center becoming primarily an apartment/condo residential district
- Forces developers to provide adequate parking for their projects and not transfer the burden to Dana Point taxpayers or neighborhoods
- Reinforces the 3 floor and 40 foot height requirements for new developments
- Makes the city accountable to residents rather than developers and other special interests
- Provides a fair, consistent and responsible plan for development with voter approval required for changes
- Requires that residents be given details of new projects before approval
