YORBA LINDA, Calif.—City Hall was filled to its maximum capacity Aug. 2 as many residents arrived on horseback just thirty minutes before city officials would meet to discuss state-mandated rezoning plans.

The city council approved a measure for over 20 sites Tuesday night that would be rezoned for housing to go before voters in November; but it postponed taking action on three sites, which included the site the city’s equestrian residents took issue with.
