Measure C was put on the ballot via the collection of signatures on a petition in a local veto referendum process by a group that wanted to rescind an action taken by the San Clemente City Council in June 2007. That action allowed 9 of the 27 golf holes at the Pacific Golf Club to be converted to a "Residential Medium Low" zoning designation in order to allow 224 homes to be erected.
