Coastal Zone Warehouse Square Footage Reduction Initiative

Humboldt County

Description

Residents collected 4,200+ signatures in ten days for a ballot measure reducing allowed warehouse square footage in the coastal zone. The chair made clear the board took no action and any scheduling would come back as an agendized item.

Impact summary

If it reaches the ballot and passes, it could shrink or constrain large warehouse development in the coastal zone, directly affecting the proposed Amazon-scale project debate.
