Background

Proposition 410 puts to voters Chino Valley Ordinance No. 2026-965, which the Mayor and Common Council passed on February 24, 2026. It is the subject of Referendum 26-01, according to the town's voter guide.

The ordinance rezones about 390 acres east of East Perkinsville Road and Forest Service Road 318A from single-family residential with 2-acre lots (SR-2) to agricultural residential with 36-acre lots (AR-36).
