[DLCD-Rulemaking] DLCD Rulemaking Notice - Urban Growth Boundaries

[Bryan Gonzalez]

The Land Conservation and Development Commission will consider the
following:
 
CAPTION:  New and amended rules regarding urban growth boundary
adoption/amendment and review of such actions.
 
SUMMARY:  These rules will clarify Goal 14 and other requirements of
law regarding the adoption and amendment of urban growth boundaries
(UGBs), provide new “safe harbors” intended to reduce local government
time and cost in amending a UGB, especially with regard to determination
of housing need, housing density and housing mix, employment need, and
related topics. The proposed amendments would also clarify procedures
for LCDC review of urban growth boundaries in the manner of periodic
review under ORS 197.626, and may clarify procedures in OAR 660,
division 24, regarding UGB adjustments.
