(NOTE: New provisions or language added to the existing Charter section are shown in BOLDFACE type; words and figures deleted from the existing charter section are shown in strikeout type.)
§ 27.2 Definitions.
The definitions set forth in this section apply to the provisions of this article only and do not affect any other provision of law.

Illegal dwellings and other conditions that exist in violation of the City's zoning ordinance or its local coastal program and are subject to the City's power of abatement, may not be accounted for in the as built condition for the purpose of determining a "significant increase," as defined in subdivision (c) below.
"Significantly increase" or "Significant Increase" means any one or more of the following increases over or changes compared to the as built condition of a neighborhood:
(1) The traffic generated by the project produces: (i) more than 150 additional morning or evening peak hour trips; or (ii) an increase in intersection capacity utilization (ICU) of 0.01 or more at any critical intersection operating at a level of service (LOS) of "E" or worse or having an ICU of 0.9 or higher; or (iii) any increase in ICU at any City intersection from less than 0.9 to 0.9 or higher; or (iv) any change in LOS at any critical intersection or on any critical corridor from better than "E" to "E" or worse. For purposes of determining traffic increases attributable to a major change in allowable land use, baseline and projected ICU and LOS conditions shall be determined considering weekday peak hour conditions at such time of the year when local public schools are in session. (2) The density increase generated by the project produces more than twenty-five (25) additional residential dwelling units.
(3) The intensity of use generated by the project produces more than 40,000 additional square feet of residential, office or other nonresidential floor area.

require their approval into partial changes that would not by themselves require their approval, frustrates their intent to have control over major changes in allowable land use and is contrary to the purposes of this article. For the purposes of this article, a "significant increase" occurs if the combination of a proposed minor change in allowable land use with one or more other minor or major changes in allowable land use in the same neighborhood approved within eight (8) years preceding issuance of the notice of preparation of an environmental impact report for the proposed minor change, or, where no such notice is issued, within eight (8) years preceding commencement of the City's environmental analysis for the proposed minor change, meets any increase or change threshold for traffic, density or intensity of use defined in this subdivision.

For purposes of determining traffic increases attributable to a major change in allowable land use, baseline and projected ICU and LOS conditions shall be determined considering weekday peak hour conditions at such time of the year when local public schools are in session.
(2) The density increase generated by the project produces more than twenty-five (25) additional residential dwelling units.
(3) The intensity of use generated by the project produces more than 40,000 additional square feet of residential, office or other nonresidential floor area.
The voters declare that dividing a major change in allowable land use that would otherwise require their approval into partial changes that would not by themselves require their approval, frustrates their intent to have control over major changes in allowable land use and is contrary to the purposes of this article. For the purposes of this article, a "significant increase" occurs if the combination of a proposed minor change in allowable land use with one or more other minor or major changes in allowable land use in the same neighborhood approved within eight (8) years preceding issuance of the notice of preparation of an environmental impact report for the proposed minor change, or, where no such notice is issued, within eight (8) years preceding commencement of the City's environmental analysis for the proposed minor change, meets any increase or change threshold for traffic, density or intensity of use defined in this subdivision.
§ 27.4 Vote of the People on major change in allowable land use. (a) Each major change in allowable land use shall be put to a vote of the People; provided, however, that no such change shall be submitted to the voters unless the City Council has first approved it. A major change in allowable land use shall become effective only after approval by the City Council and a majority of the voters of the City voting "YES" on a ballot measure proposing such change at either a regular or special municipal election. An advisory election does not satisfy the voter approval requirement.

(b) The sample ballot materials mailed made available to the registered voters prior to an election shall describe any major change in allowable land use in a manner that clearly discloses both the scope and main features of the project (including sequencing or phasing, as may be the case) that the major change in allowable land use consists of or depends on, and the location and the acreage of the project site. The description shall include the text of the proposed amendment to the General Plan, to the City's zoning ordinance or to the zoning ordinance for the coastal zone, or of any proposed adoption of, or amendment to, a specific plan. The description shall clearly compare the project and its traffic impacts both to the as built condition, and to existing applicable land use designations and zoning classifications, providing accurate comparative data concerning existing as well as proposed densities (in units per acre) and intensities of use (in square footage, types of use and traffic impacts). If a site-specific development is proposed in connection with a major change in allowable land use, and densities or intensities of use in such site-specific development are less than the densities or intensities the major change proposes, the text of the ballot shall clearly disclose the maximum total residential, commercial, industrial or other nonresidential buildout potential, and traffic impacts under buildout, compared to the as built condition. Easily readable maps shall be used to assist the voters in the project description. All of the information called for by this subdivision shall be posted on the City's website no later than thirty (30) days prior to the City Council's action on a major change in allowable land use, and such information shall be updated no later than ten (10)days following the City Council's approval, if the Council has changed the project.
(c) For all major changes in allowable land use approved by the City Council after the effective date of this article of the City Charter, the election required by this article shall be set for the general municipal election next following City Council approval of the major change; or, by mutual agreement with the proponent, the City Council may call a special municipal election, with the cost of the special election being borne solely by the proponent. For all major changes in allowable land use approved by the City Council on or after the date of publication, pursuant to Election Code Section 9205, of the notice of intention to circulate the initiative petition to add this article to the City Charter, but before the effective date of this article, the election required by this article shall be set for the general municipal election next following the effective date of this article; or, by mutual agreement with the proponent, the City Council may call a special municipal election, with the cost of the special election being borne solely by the proponent.
(d) The popular vote required by this article shall be in addition to all other applicable review and approval requirements for such major change, including environmental review in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). (e) All subsequent City permits and approvals necessary to implement all or part of a major change in allowable land use shall conform to the voter-approved change. Under no circumstances shall any subsequent permit or approval authorize, allow or otherwise accommodate higher densities, intensities of use, or trip generation than the densities, intensities and trip generation approved by the City Council and the voters. No certificate of occupancy for any structure built as part of a project that depends on a major change in allowable land use shall issue until all mitigations of traffic impacts, including control signals, increases in right-of-way capacity via widening roads, or other right-of-way or intersection improvements, as may be required by the City Council, have been developed and implemented, and the City Engineer has certified completion and operation of all traffic impact mitigations in full compliance with the City Council's approval action.
