On an overcast July morning, agroup of county supervisors, local
City Council members and a few wor-ried residents climbed into a whiteRide-On shuttle parked in front of Pis-mo Beach City Hall.
Dense fog partially obscured theocean and the hills above the town.The bus tour wound slowly upLongview Street, deep into the PismoHeights neighborhood, and stoppednear the top of the nearly milelongstreet.
The group piled out and gazed to-ward hills that could one day becomepart of Pismo Beach and bring homes,vineyards, hotels and a golf course tothe area known as Price Canyon.
The proposal includes four proper-ties and 1,161 acres that could bring600 to 900 homes and 1,300 to 2,000new residents to Pismo Beach.
If added to the city at once, the proj-ect would be the second-largest blockof land annexed by a city in San LuisObispo County in nearly 50 years andcould expand Pismo Beach by a third.That possibility has prompted someresidents to fight the plan.
The outcome could not only shapethe future of Pismo Beach but cement

San Luis Obispo voters are being inun-dated by the pros and cons of two ballotmeasures focused on employee benefitsand compensation.
The special election campaign — con-sisting of debates, print and broadcast ad-vertisements, rallies and phone calls — hasbeen under way for the past month, urgingvoters to pick a side in the contentious fight.
Measure A asks voters to amend the citycharter to eliminate a requirement that theCity Council hold an election to obtain vot-er approval to terminate its contract withCalPERS or negotiate another contract to re-duce employee benefits. CalPERS is the re-tirement system used by San Luis Obispo.
Measure B asks voters to repeal bindingarbitration — a means of neutral mediation
