The city had argued the proposed ordinance was administrative—not legislative—and thus ineligible for a ballot vote, but the judge found those claims unsupported and dismissed the lawsuit. While the ruling doesn’t validate the ban itself, it clears the way for the measure to proceed to voters in November, potentially blocking future development for a decade amid resident concerns over water use, environmental impact, and foreign ownership. The city may now be liable for attorney fees, and no timeline yet exists for the final decision on whether the ordinance qualifies for the ballot.
