This is interestingand not unprecedented.
There are a lot of unincorporated territories throughout the U.S. One is the terms of the voter initiative themselves, which are legally binding.
Those have been developed through intense consultation with the people and elected leaders in the county.
It includes funding commitments, a zoning envelope, and a development footprint.
So, all of that is locked in by a vote of the people.
A development agreement is a voluntary contract in which both parties can agree to whatever they choose.
In other words, there will be limited mechanisms for resident input.
If county residents vote for the development, they will get whatever is in the ballot initiative.
The development agreement, meanwhile, will be hashed out between the county board of supervisors and the company.
