Background

The Monterey Park City Council placed this measure on the ballot by Resolution No. 2026-R63, adopted August 5, 2026 (Council Members Yang, Ngo, Wong, Sanchez and Lo voting yes), according to the resolution.

According to the City Attorney's impartial analysis, since 1982 voter approval has been required to amend the city's Land Use and Urban Design Element; the measure would create a Housing Overlay Mixed Environments (HOME) designation allowing housing and mixed-use development in commercial and industrial areas shown on the Land Use Policy Map, but not in R-1 or R-2 zones.

The analysis states the measure does not approve any development: the Council would first adopt zoning rules, and each project would need Council approval at a public hearing to activate the designation on a property; the city's data center prohibition would remain. A simple majority is required.
