<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><b><span style="font-size:14.0pt">Land Conservation and Development Commission Initiates Rulemaking for Areas of Cultural Significance<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">On November 2, 2023, the Land Conservation and Development Commission (LCDC) directed Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) staff to begin rulemaking for Goal 5 cultural areas. While statewide
land use planning Goal 5 lists cultural areas as important resources in Oregon, Oregon Administrative Rules currently do not provide specific direction of how to consider these types of areas in Oregon communities.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">“This is long overdue” said LCDC Commissioner Gerard Sandoval at the November 2 hearing where commissioners voted to initiate the rulemaking.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">The commission’s charge directed staff to work with Rules Advisory Committee (RAC) members to develop a definition for this resource category, and to develop recommendations to identify, avoid, preserve or mitigate
impacts from development to significant resource sites. A new division 23 rule will work in tandem with existing state laws protecting archaeological objects and sites.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">DLCD is currently recruiting members for a RAC to advise agency staff in drafting recommended rules. Staff expect the RAC to meet four to five times in three-hour meetings during 2024.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">DLCD also plans to convene a Technical Advisory Committee (TAC). The TAC will advise DLCD staff on laws and rules governing the treatment of archaeological sites and systems for preserving the confidentiality
of known sites.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">DLCD is currently accepting applications from interested Oregonians to serve on the Goal 5 Cultural Areas RAC or TAC.
<b>Applications will be accepted through midnight on December 22, 2023.</b><o:p></o:p></p>

How has it inspired you to envision a hopeful future? How has it given you insights about challenges, solutions, and resilience? How has it made you joyful?<o:p></o:p></p>
