Davis city commissions hold joint meeting to review Measure J/R/D amendments. Measure J, originally approved by voters in 2000 and later renewed and amended as Measures R and D, requires voter approval before agricultural or open space land can be converted to urban uses. Among the proposals to be considered are affordable housing provisions that would exempt a project from a Measure J vote if it dedicates at least half of its units as affordable housing, spread across income categories. This could be tied to the Measure J amendment as part of a broader General Plan update. The Davis Housing Element, approved in 2021, includes a program directing the city to amend Measure J to better support affordable housing.
