Grover Beach City Council to approve height limit ballot measure

June 22, 2026

By KAREN VELIE

The Grover Beach City Council is slated to vote on Monday to approve an amended version of a ballot measure to adopt an ordinance limiting building heights in the coastal community. A group collected 60% more signatures than required to place the measure on the November ballot.

The group’s goal is to limit the height of new buildings in commercial zones to 40 feet and in industrial zones to 33 feet. The plan is to preserve Grover Beach’s small-town coastal character.

Proponents of the “Citizen’s Initiative Measure to Limit Building Heights and to Establish a Minimum Commercial Component of 33% in Mixed-Use Developments” submitted 1,256 signatures to the Grover Beach City Clerk.

On Monday, the city council is expected to vote to put the measure on the ballot and to create an ad hoc council committee consisting of Mayor Kassi Dee and Councilwoman Jules Tuggle.

The intent of the committee is to reach out to proponents of the measure to discuss its impacts, including “potential loss of residential units” and compliance with sate law, according to the agenda.

Another example of having to fight the Sacramento ‘Machine’ that dosen’t care about citizens or quality of life, just serving the developers and unions that pay -to- play. Let’s pass this!- and if Sacramento bucks, let the light of truth shine on them.

P. S. Enough with the ‘Affordable Housing’ line! Everyone knows it’s just B. S. propaganda at this point. Let that one go! Government cannot provide it- and never could.

The Grover machine is much more virulent than Sacramento, but finds our capital an easy scapegoat, followed only by its own citizens.

I suggest passing the measure and then making the former Mayor’s neighborhood the first one to be upzoned.
