History
Measure B: The Mountain Preservation Initiative
The citizen's petition to qualify the Mountain Preservation Initiative for the ballot was approved
in 2004 and a special election was held in March 2005. The Initiative called for rezoning the Santa Rosa and San
Jacinto Mountains, foothills, and alluvial fans to 1 unit per 40 acres. After a contentious battle, involving more
than $600,000 spent by developers to confuse voters in a successful advertising campaign, Measure B failed by a
vote of 46% to 54%.
Measure C: The Palm Hills Referendum
This citizen-led petition to refer the Palm Springs City Council's approval of a massive resort
complex in the Santa Rosa Mountains to Palm Springs' voters, also qualified for the ballot in 2004. In the March
2005 special election, citizen's voted to reverse the Council's approval 62 to 38 percent. The Palm Hills Development
Corporation must now submit a new development proposal if they wish to proceed with their project.
