A controversial proposal to hire a research firm to help revise Yorba Linda's housing plan in an effort to gain voter approval for sufficient rezoning to meet a state mandate to provide opportunities for 2,415 housing units was dropped from a recent City Council agenda. A previous plan to meet the state's requirement failed in November 2022 balloting by a wide margin, with 21,937 voters opposed and 7,221 in favor on Measure Z. The city aims to present a revised plan to voters in the March 2024 primary or November 2024 general election.
