The Dalidio Ranch Project refers to a controversial development project proposal most recently known as Measure J, which was voted on by the citizens of San Luis Obispo County, CA on the November 7, 2006 ballot. The parcel proposed for the development project is a 131-acre (53 ha) parcel of farmland located adjacent to San Luis Obispo, California, west of U.S. Route 101, and east of Madonna Road. The parcel is south of the Promenade Shopping Center and bordered by Prefumo Creek. The project proposed would include "a 13-acre (5.3 ha) organic farm, a seven-day-a-week farmers` market, a Monarch butterfly preserve visible from a grove of eucalyptus trees, a drive-through (possibly 24-hour) pharmacy, retail development featuring walkways and ornate fountains, and 60 units of workforce housing," and the construction of an overpass connecting U.S. Route 101 and Prado Road, according to an article by New Times San Luis Obispo. Ernie Dalidio is the current owner of Dalidio Ranch, and has been actively petitioning for the city annexation of his land since 1991.
