San Francisco City Attorney: Failure of Referendum Petition to Include Text of Redevelopment Plan Renders It Invalid

The City Attorney's opinion also identifies numerous other documents expressly incorporated in the challenged ordinance that the proponents failed to include on their petition. Based on these omissions, City Attorney Dennis Herrera concluded that the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors has a ministerial duty to reject the petition.

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, the proponents of the referendum petition intend to challenge the City Attorney's determination in court.
