CExpanding urban growth boundaries to compensate affected property owners
DRequiring LCDC to approve all Measure 37 waivers
Explanation
Measure 49 (2007) replaced most Measure 37 (2004) waivers with a more limited set of rights — primarily allowing up to 3 homesites on high-value farmland and more in other cases, rather than unlimited development rights. It balanced property rights with land use planning goals.
