Measure A in Redondo Beach would do just that. Ballot box planning is not the answer. Whatever one's views on the plant itself, rezoning it out of existence may well be a taking, a violation of basic property rights. Some Measure A proponents claim it is not a taking, however only a judge will make that finding. Are you willing to risk hundred of thousands of city dollars to defend a lawsuit? Will the City prevail by rezoning a site under which is does not even have jurisdiction?
There is a better way. Working with all the stakeholders in the community may take longer but is better than someone showing up at your house and say, "You can't be here anymore because I want a park here instead."
