Measure W would authorize the Willowgrove development under Davis’ Measure J/R/D voter approval process after the project received unanimous approval from both the Davis City Council, which voted 5-0, and the Planning Commission, which approved it 7-0 earlier this year.
According to campaign organizers, the project includes 1,250 homes, with 43 percent designated as affordable or attainable housing.
Campaign materials also project the development would generate a $5 million fiscal surplus for the city over its first 15 years.
I’m deeply grateful to the City Council, City staff, and every resident who pushed us to get this right,” he said.
Organizers further contend the development would reduce regional vehicle miles traveled by housing workers who currently commute into Davis.
