ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF MEASURE V

It’s been over a generation without family housing approved by voters in Davis. The consequences are real: young families, teachers and local workers can't afford to live here, declining enrollment threatens our schools, small businesses struggle, and tens of thousands commute here daily, adding traffic and emissions.

Measure V approves Village Farms Davisdiverse homes for every income level on a site prioritized for decades.

Measure V guarantees a dedication of 16 acres of land and $6 million toward affordable housing, the largest contribution in Davis history. Twenty percent of homes are permanently affordable for income-limited households, exceeding city requirements.

 

Seventy percent of market rate homes are attached or on small lots, providing much needed “missing-middle” housing. DJUSD estimates Village Farms Davis will attract young families with 1,100+ new students to help enrollment.

Measure V strengthens our city budget and funds critical traffic improvements while generating millions in ongoing revenue for essential city services.

Over half of Village Farms Davis is open space, habitat, agriculture, greenbelts, parks and trails. This includes a central park, needed sports fields, and a permanently conserved 47-acre natural habitat with a permanently funded endowment.

Surrounded by existing neighborhoods in North Davis, this infill site sits within walking and biking distance of schools and services. Village Farms Davis completes the Davis Bike Loop (Northstar to Wildhorse) with grade-separated crossings.

Village Farms Davis is a 100% all-electric, solar-powered sustainable community developed by local families with deep Davis roots – the same builders and planners who pioneered our greenbelt design, urban habitat, and sustainable neighborhoods.

After years of thoughtful design and comprehensive study, Village Farms Davis provides a measured plan to strengthen our schools, budget, and community. It can help us meet state housing mandates and keep local control.

As Davis parents and grandparents, we care deeply about our community’s future. We urge you, please:
