Contra Costa County voters set to decide on renewing urban limit line to protect open spaces in 2026 ballot.

Voters in Contra Costa County will decide in 2026 whether to renew the urban limit line, a tool that has safeguarded local open spaces since the 1990s. The initiative aims to preserve two-thirds of the county for agriculture, parks, and open spaces while encouraging new development in urban areas, including up to 23,000 housing units. The boundary is being adjusted to better fit current land use needs, with some areas being added or removed. The proposal faces feedback and reviews before the ballot measure is finalized.
