The move comes in response to a successful citizen-initiated referendum to roll back a Council decision. The change is purported to increase transparency but will also make things significantly harder for grassroots efforts.

On Monday January 26, Lakewood City Council will again vote on a controversial new zoning scheme enacted by a council majority that was led by dark-money, developer-funded Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem.
This vote—triggered by four historic citizen referendum petitions—will determine whether the Council repeals its radical zoning rewrite or sends it to Lakewood voters for a citywide vote.
