Community Engagement Initative
Measure JJ was unanimously placed on the ballot by City Council following an extensive community engagement initiative that launched in 2023. Residents across the City collaborated to review and provide recommendations for the Housing Element. The adopted changes to the Housing Element reflect significant community feedback.
Results from the November 5, 2024 General Election indicate that over 90% of voters approved Measure JJ, the Yorba Linda Local Control, Residential Neighborhood, Open Space Protection Measure. The Orange County Registrar of Voters certified the final election results on December 3, 2024, affirming the approval of Measure JJ.
Placing Measure JJ on the ballot was consistent with Yorba Linda’s Right-to-Vote Amendment (also known as “Measure B”), which requires voter review to approve or reject major adjustments to the City’s land use documents.
