What is on the referendum petitions?

Three ordinances approved by the City Council on a 4-3 vote are on the referendum petition. Two of the ordinances amend the City Zoning Ordinance to increase the building heights permitted on the hotel site and the conference center/parking garage site, and change the way the height is
calculated on the hotel site. This allows a six-level parking garage, a conference center and an 80-foot high hotel (actually 120 feet above Cowell Beach). The third ordinance is a Development Agreement between the City and the hotel developer that describes the terms under which the Coast Hotel project will go forward. Each ordinance is on a separate petition, as
required by law, and each one must be separately signed.
