Measure Y Narrowly Approved: Danville Election Results

DANVILLE, CA — Danville primary election voters were asked to vote on Measure Y to allow residential development on the Magee Preserve property. Supporters eked out a win with 51.5 percent of voters in support.

A "yes" vote on Measure Y meant voters supported the construction 69 single-family lots on 29 acres on the Magee Preserve property — a 410-acre site on the south side of Diablo Road and Blackhawk Road extending approximately two miles east from the intersection of Diablo Road/Green Valley Road/McCauley Road.

The other 381 acres would be permanent open space with dedicated hiking and biking trails for public use, according to the plan.

The current zoning on the site is a mix of agricultural, agricultural preserve and planned unit development, according to the City Attorney's analysis.

The Town Council approved the project in July 2019, but some voters objected and successfully petitioned to put the issue on the March 2020 ballot.
