Relating to urban renewal.

HB 3499 requires Oregon municipalities to obtain voter approval for urban renewal plans or substantial amendments before implementation. Specifically, after a city council adopts a plan, it must be submitted to voters at the next regular election (at least 90 days later), with the council publishing notice of the plan and election requirements. This applies to all new plans and major changes, ensuring public input on projects affecting blighted areas, property acquisition, and relocation of residents/businesses. The bill does not alter the content of urban renewal plans but adds a mandatory public vote step to the approval process.
