Ballot Initiative Falls Short 63 Votes after City Recount in Arcadia

An initiative targeting larger scale homes in Arcadia ( often refered to as McMansions ) will not make it on the ballot after all. The city clerk’s office discovered a discrepancy in the number of qualifying signatures Tuesday.
Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder had approved the initiative last week, qualifying it for a future ballot with only one more signature than required to get on the next election’s ballot.
Saving Arcadia, a local activist group is behind the initiative which started collecting signatures last July to take a measure to the voters that would set limits on theses so called McMansions.
