How will Measure 37 affect Urban Growth Boundaries (UGBs)?
Measure 37 does not change UGBs, or give property owners the right to demand that the UGB be altered.. Although Measure 37 restores development rights that were taken from property owners, there is nothing in the measure that requires local governments to extend urban services like roads, water and sewer to development outside the UGB. Measure 37 will not allow urban type developments in rural areas, like large retail stores, shopping malls, apartments, or large factories. Rural areas will remain rural, and urban areas will remain urban.
