Left–right lean

Not a left–right issue: a procedural or local question that liberals and conservatives don't typically split on (AI read of the official ballot summary).

Background

Proposition 492 is on the ballot because of a citizen referendum petition (No. R-01-2024 Lakeshore650) against Prescott Valley Ordinance No. 2024-938. That ordinance annexed about 652 acres into the town, according to the town's publicity pamphlet.

The ordinance, adopted September 12, 2024, classifies the annexed land as RCU-70 (single-family rural) zoning, which it describes as consistent with the land's current Yavapai County zoning of RCU-2A.

The town lists a companion zoning ordinance for the Lakeshore 650 project, No. 2024-939 (ZMC23-004), alongside the referendum materials.

The town's publicity pamphlet includes arguments both favoring and opposing Proposition 492.

Put on the ballot by Citizen referendum petition (No. R-01-2024 Lakeshore650) on Prescott Valley Ordinance No. 2024-938.
