Encinitas Munckin Vote: 30' vs 33'

Your average Munchkin is 3 ft. It doesn't sound like much, but 3 ft is a big deal in the city on Encinitas when it comes to building heights.
Prop A basically locks in our building heights to 30' without a vote to the people.
But what if people voted to lock in our height at 33' ?

SDUT news link: Encinitas may ask voters to raise building height limits

Former Encinitas mayor Sheila Cameron said voters sent a strong message to city officials in June when they approved the growth-control initiative known as Proposition A and created the 30-foot height limit. 

 People don’t want “up-zoning,” Cameron said, adding, “Don’t you understand that? I don’t get why you don’t get that.”

People don't want "up-zoning" unless they want "up-zoning", which we won't know unless the people get to vote on what I'm calling The Munckin Ordinance.
