Legal Actions Taken Against Valley's Edge Approval
Referendum to Overturn City Council Approval
A coalition including Smart Growth Advocates and Valley’s Edge Resistance successfully gathered and submitted enough valid signatures to the City of Chico for a referendum which protests the City Council Resolutions approving the Project. The Butte County Elections Department verified that the signatures submitted exceeded the required number by over 500 signatures! So it will now the people of Chico get to decide the fate of Valley's Edge in the March 5 Primary Election.
Center for Biological Diversity, AquAlliance and Sierra Club filed a lawsuit in Butte County Superior Court in early February against the City of Chico for violating the California Environmental Quality Act when approving of Valley's Edge.
