Bryant Ranch Shopping Center Ballot Measure

The City has received inquiries from residents the Bryant Ranch Shopping Center ballot initiative, also known as the Yorba Canyon Community initiative. This page is intended to provide facts and information about this effort.

The Bryant Ranch Shopping Center property is not a part of the City’s Housing Element and is not being evaluated as part of the current study and public hearing process being conducted for the resident-driven revised Housing Element. The City Council removed the Bryant Ranch Shopping Center site from the Housing Element in January 2024.

Through the power of an initiative afforded under state law, the Bryant Ranch Shopping Center property ownership has secured sufficient signatures through their own petition process to require a ballot measure vote to increase zoning on their property and add housing units. That process was initiated and completed by the property owner and is not a part of the City’s Housing Element.

Therefore, it is anticipated that two separate ballot measures will be on the November 2024 ballot:

• A City Housing Element-related measure addressing several properties spread throughout the City.
• A separate Bryant Ranch Shopping Center property owner measure seeking to modify zoning on the Bryant Ranch Shopping Center property.
