From Ballotpedia
A Melbourne Beach Town Charter Amendment measure was on the November 8, 2011 ballot in the town of Melbourne Beach which is in Brevard County.
This measure was approved
- YES 599 (76.21%)
- NO 187 (23.79%)[1]
This measure sought to amend the town charter so that a referendum vote would be held if the town sought to rezone any area of land.[2]
Text of measure
The question on the ballot:
| The Town Charter requires that no rezoning of land shall be effective unless the rezoning is approved by Town voters. Earlier this year, the Legislature passed a state law that prohibits the Town from having a referendum on any rezoning. This Charter amendment makes the Charter consistent with state law by providing that a referendum may only be required if the Town Commission certifies that holding a referendum is not prohibited by state law.[3] |
