In 2004, City of Hercules voters passed Measure M, which stopped proposed development (including housing development) and preserved the land for primarily agricultural, recreational, and open space purposes. The “Franklin Canyon Area” includes:               

• 162-acre Franklin Canyon Golf Course within City limits; approved for redevelopment as a destination RV resort;

• 484 acres of open space, trails, and grazing (referred to as Franklin Canyon) within City limits immediately south of the golf course; acquired by the John Muir Land Trust in 2010 and open to the public.

• 327 acres of land outside the City Limits within the City’s Sphere of Influence and owned by multiple property owners.
