Proposition 414 is a proposed measure that is required by Arizona law to set policy for the City’s growth and development. General Plans consist of a statement of community goals and development policies to encourage thoughtful and well-planned growth that enhances the quality of life.

Arguments are limited to 300 words in length, not including the signature block, and must contain the sworn statement of each person sponsoring it. Each signature appearing with the argument must include the following statement above the signature: I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing information is true and correct and I am the sponsor of this argument advocating or opposing this proposition.

If the argument is sponsored by an organization, it must contain the sworn statement of two executive officers of the organization. If the argument is sponsored by a political committee, it must contain the sworn statement of the committee’s chairman or treasurer.

The address and phone number for each signer must be included in the argument but will not be printed in the publicity pamphlet, except that the person’s city and state of residence will appear in the pamphlet.
