CA VOTER-CREATED UGBS
UGBs can be created by city council action or by direct democracy. In California, 25% of UGBs were enacted by initiative or referendum. Napa Valley in 1990 was the first in California and upheld by the California Supreme Court. The voter-created UGBs tend to be more effective at managing growth.
