Rohnert Park Election Results: Measure B

ROHNERT PARK, CA — Polls are now closed in Rohnert Park. Residents voted on Measure B, the City of Rohnert Park Urban Growth Boundary, which according to the city, protects green belts separating the community from its neighbors and preserves agricultural land and open space.

The question on the ballot was: "To continue the existing protections provided by the current Urban Growth Boundary ('UGB'), such as preventing urban sprawl, protecting community separators, and preserving agricultural land and open space, shall the City of Rohnert Park extend its UGB until December 31, 2040, exclude approximately 80 acres located in the County and south of Valley House Drive and west of Petaluma Hill Road, and require that future changes to the UGB be approved by the voters?"

A yes vote is a vote in favor of extending the city's UGB restrictions on land use regarding community separators, agricultural land, and open space for 20 years and exclude 80 acres south of Valley House Drive and west of Petaluma Hill Road from the UGB restrictions.

A no vote is a vote against extending the city's UGB restrictions on land use regarding community separators, agricultural land, and open space for 20 years, thereby allowing it to expire on June 30, 2020.
