Definitions

For the purpose of this division, the definitions contained in ORS 197.015 apply. In addition, the following definitions apply:

(1) “Computation of Time” means unless otherwise provided in this rule, the time within which an act is to be done is computed by excluding the first day and including the last unless the last day falls upon any legal holiday, Saturday, or Sunday in which case the last day is also excluded.

(2) “Electronic copy” means a computer file or files, which can be submitted as digital media such as disc, electronic mail, or other method of file transfer.

(3) “Final Decision” means the written, signed approval, or approval as modified, by the local government, of a proposed amendment to, or adoption of, a comprehensive plan or land use regulation. A denial of a proposed amendment by the local government shall not be considered a “Final Decision” and therefore is not subject to review under this administrative rule. The date of the “Final Decision” as described in OAR 660-018-0040 shall be the date on which the local government takes final action on the amendment to, or adoption of, a comprehensive plan or land use regulation. In order to be deemed final, the local government action must include the adoption of all supplementary findings and data. In addition, the date of final action shall be the day following exhaustion of all appeal rights before local government.

(4) “Final Hearing on Adoption” as described in OAR 660-018-0020 means the last hearing where all interested persons are allowed to present evidence and rebut testimony on the proposal to adopt or amend a comprehensive plan or land use regulation. “Final Hearing on Adoption” shall not include a hearing held solely on the record of a previous hearing held by the governing body or its designated hearing body.

(5) “First Evidentiary Hearing” means the first hearing conducted by the local government where interested persons are allowed to present and rebut evidence and testimony on a proposal to adopt or amend a comprehensive plan or land use regulation. “First evidentiary hearing” does not include a work session or briefing where testimony is not allowed.

(6) “Map Change” as used in OAR 660-018-0020 means a change in the designation of an area as shown on the comprehensive plan map, zoning map or both.

(7) “Substantially Amended” as used in OAR 660-018-0045 shall mean any change in text that differs from the proposal submitted under OAR 660-018-0020 to such a degree that the notice under OAR 660-018-0020 did not reasonably describe the nature of the local government final action.

Filing of a Proposed Amendment to or Adoption of a Comprehensive Plan or Land Use Regulation with the Director

(1) A proposal to amend a local government acknowledged comprehensive plan or land use regulation or to adopt a new land use regulation must:

(a) Be submitted to the director at least 45 days before the first evidentiary hearing on adoption. The submittal must be received by the department at its Salem office;

(b) Be accompanied by appropriate forms provided by the department;

(c) Contain two copies of the text and any supplemental information the local government believes is necessary to inform the director as to the effect of the proposal. One of the required copies may be an electronic copy;

(d) Indicate the date of the final hearing on adoption. If a final hearing on adoption is continued or delayed, following proper procedures, the local government is not required to submit a new notice under OAR 660-018-0020.

(e) In the case of a map change, include a map showing the area to be changed as well as the existing and proposed designations. Wherever possible, this map should be on 8-1/2 by 11-inch paper;

(f) Where a goal exception is being proposed, include the proposed language of the exception. The commission urges the local government to submit information that explains the relationship of the proposal to the acknowledged plan and the goals, where applicable.

(2) The text submitted to comply with subsection (1)(c) of this rule must include the specific language being proposed as an addition to or deletion from the acknowledged plan or land use regulations. A general description of the proposal or its purpose is not sufficient. In the case of map changes, the text must include a graphic depiction of the change, and not just a legal description, tax account number, address or other similar general description.

Exemptions to Filing Requirements Under OAR 660-018-0020

When a local government determines that no goals, commission rules, or land use statutes apply to a particular proposed amendment or new regulation, filing under OAR 660-018-0020 is not required. In addition, a local government may submit an amendment or new regulation with less than 45 days’ notice if the local government determines that there are emergency circumstances requiring expedited review. In both cases:

(1) The amendment or new regulation shall be submitted after adoption as provided in ORS 197.615(1) and (2); and

(2) Notwithstanding the requirements of ORS 197.830(2) to have appeared before the local government in the proceedings concerning the proposal, the director or any other person may appeal the decision to the board under ORS 197.830 to 197.845.

For purposes of this division, the definitions contained in ORS 197.015 and the statewide planning goals (OAR chapter 660, division 15) apply. In addition, the following definitions apply:

(1) “Urban Reserve” means lands outside of an urban growth boundary that will provide for:

(a) Future expansion over a long-term period; and

(b) The cost-effective provision of public facilities and services within the area when the lands are included within the urban growth boundary.

(2) “Resource Land” means land subject to the statewide planning goals listed in OAR 660-004-0010(1)(a) through (g), except subsections (c) and (d).

(3) “Nonresource Land” means land not subject to one or more of the statewide planning goals listed in OAR 660-004-0010(1)(a) through (g) except subsections (c) and (d). Nothing in this definition is meant to imply that other goals do not apply to nonresource land.

(4) “Exception Areas” means rural lands for which an exception to statewide planning goals 3 or 4, or both, as defined in ORS 197.732 and OAR 660-004-0005(1), has been acknowledged.

Authority to Establish Urban Reserve

(1) Cities and counties cooperatively, and the Metropolitan Service District for the Portland Metropolitan area urban growth boundary, may designate urban reserves under the requirements of this division, in coordination with special districts listed in OAR 660-021-0050(2) and other affected local governments, including neighboring cities within two miles of the urban growth boundary. Where urban reserves are adopted or amended, they shall be shown on all applicable comprehensive plan and zoning maps, and plan policies and land use regulations shall be adopted to guide the management of these reserves in accordance with the requirements of this division.

(2) As an alternative to designation of urban reserves under the requirements of this division, Metro may designate urban reserves for the Portland Metropolitan area urban growth boundary under OAR chapter 660, division 27.

Determination of Urban Reserve

(1) Urban reserves shall include an amount of land estimated to be at least a 10-year supply and no more than a 30-year supply of developable land beyond the 20-year time frame used to establish the urban growth boundary. Local governments designating urban reserves shall adopt findings specifying the particular number of years over which designated urban reserves are intended to provide a supply of land.

(2) Inclusion of land within an urban reserve shall be based upon the locational factors of Goal 14 and a demonstration that there are no reasonable alternatives that will require less, or have less effect upon, resource land. Cities and counties cooperatively, and the Metropolitan Service District for the Portland Metropolitan Area Urban Growth Boundary, shall first study lands adjacent to, or nearby, the urban growth boundary for suitability for inclusion within urban reserves, as measured by the factors and criteria set forth in this section. Local governments shall then designate, for inclusion within urban reserves, that suitable land which satisfies the priorities in section (3) of this rule.

(3) Land found suitable for an urban reserve may be included within an urban reserve only according to the following priorities:

(a) First priority goes to land adjacent to, or nearby, an urban growth boundary and identified in an acknowledged comprehensive plan as an exception area or nonresource land. First priority may include resource land that is completely surrounded by exception areas unless these are high value crop areas as defined in Goal 8 or prime or unique agricultural lands as defined by the United States Department of Agriculture;

(b) If land of higher priority is inadequate to accommodate the amount of land estimated in section (1) of this rule, second priority goes to land designated as marginal land pursuant to former ORS 197.247 (1991 edition);

(c) If land of higher priority is inadequate to accommodate the amount of land estimated in section (1) of this rule, third priority goes to land designated in an acknowledged comprehensive plan for agriculture or forestry, or both. Higher priority shall be given to land of lower capability as measured by the capability classification system or by cubic foot site class, whichever is appropriate for the current use.

(4) Land of lower priority under section (3) of this rule may be included if land of higher priority is found to be inadequate to accommodate the amount of land estimated in section (1) of this rule for one or more of the following reasons:

(a) Future urban services could not reasonably be provided to the higher priority area due to topographical or other physical constraints; or

(b) Maximum efficiency of land uses within a proposed urban reserve requires inclusion of lower priority lands in order to include or to provide services to higher priority lands.

(5) Findings and conclusions concerning the results of the consideration required by this rule shall be adopted by the affected jurisdictions.

Urban Reserve Area Planning and Zoning

(1) Until included in the urban growth boundary, lands in urban reserves shall continue to be planned and zoned for rural uses in accordance with the requirements of this rule and the applicable statutes and goals, but in a manner that ensures a range of opportunities for the orderly, economic and efficient provision of urban services when these lands are included in the urban growth boundary.

(2) Urban reserve land use regulations shall ensure that development and land divisions in exception areas and nonresource lands will not hinder the efficient transition to urban land uses and the orderly and efficient provision of urban services. These measures shall be adopted by the time the urban reserves are designated, or in the case of those local governments with planning and zoning responsibility for lands in the vicinity of the Portland Metropolitan Area Urban Growth Boundary, by the time such local governments amend their comprehensive plan and zoning maps to implement urban reserve designations made by the Portland Metropolitan Service District. The measures may include:

(a) Prohibition on the creation of new parcels less than ten acres;

(b) Requirements for clustering as a condition of approval of new parcels;

(d) Requirements for written waivers of remonstrance against annexation to a provider of sewer, water or streets; and

(e) Regulation of the siting of new development on existing lots for the purpose of ensuring the potential for future urban development and public facilities.

(3) For exception areas and nonresource land in urban reserves, land use regulations shall prohibit zone amendments allowing more intensive uses, including higher residential density, than permitted by acknowledged zoning in effect as of the date of establishment of the urban reserves. Such regulations shall remain in effect until such time as the land is included in the urban growth boundary.

(4) Resource land that is included in urban reserves shall continue to be planned and zoned under the requirements of applicable statewide planning goals.

(5) Urban reserve agreements consistent with applicable comprehensive plans and meeting the requirements of OAR 660-021-0050 shall be adopted for urban reserves.

(6) Cities and counties are authorized to plan for the eventual provision of urban public facilities and services to urban reserves. However, this division is not intended to authorize urban levels of development or services in urban reserves prior to their inclusion in the urban growth boundary. This division is not intended to prevent any planning for, installation of, or connection to public facilities or services in urban reserves consistent with the statewide planning goals and with acknowledged comprehensive plans and land use regulations in effect on the applicable date of this division.

(7) A local government shall not prohibit the siting of a single family dwelling on a legal parcel pursuant to urban reserve planning requirements if the single family dwelling would otherwise have been allowed under law existing prior to the designation of the parcel as part of an urban reserve.

Urban Reserve Agreements

Urban reserve planning shall include the adoption and maintenance of urban reserve agreements among cities, counties and special districts serving or projected to serve the designated urban reserves. These agreements shall be adopted by each applicable jurisdiction at or prior to the time of reserve designation and shall contain:

(1) Designation of the local government responsible for building code administration and land use regulation in the urban reserves, both at the time of reserve designation and upon inclusion of these reserves within the urban growth boundary.

(2) Designation of the local government or special district responsible for the following services: sewer, water, fire protection, parks, transportation and storm water. The agreement shall include maps indicating areas and levels of current rural service responsibility and areas projected for future urban service responsibility when included in the urban growth boundary.

(3) Terms and conditions under which service responsibility will be transferred or expanded for areas where the provider of the service is expected to change over time.

(4) Procedures for notification and review of land use actions to ensure involvement by all affected local governments and special districts.

(3) To be complete a submittal must be a final decision containing all required elements identified for that task in the work program. A portion of a task or subtask may be accepted as a complete submittal if the work program identified that portion of the task or subtask as a separate item for adoption by the local government. Task submittals are subject to the following requirements:

(a) If the local record does not exceed 2,000 pages, a submittal must include the entire local record, including but not limited to adopted ordinances and orders, studies, inventories, findings, staff reports, correspondence, hearings minutes, written testimony and evidence, and any other items specifically listed in the work program;

Following submission of objections pursuant to OAR 660-025-0140, the local government may provide written correspondence that is not part of the local record which identifies material in the record relevant to filed objections. The correspondence may not include or refer to materials not in the record submitted or listed pursuant to section (3) of this rule. The local government must provide the correspondence to each objector at the same time it is sent to the department.

(5) If the department determines that a submittal is incomplete, it must notify the local government. If the department determines that the submittal should be reviewed despite missing information, the department may commence a formal review of the submittal. Missing material may be identified as a deficiency in the review process and be a basis to require further work by the local government.

(6) A local government may request an extension of time for submitting a work task. The director may grant the request if the local government shows good cause for the extension. A local government may be permitted only one extension, which shall be for no more than one year.

(a) Be in writing and filed with the department’s Salem office no later than 21 days from the date the local government mailed the notice;

(b) Clearly identify an alleged deficiency in the work task sufficiently to identify the relevant section of the final decision and the statute, goal, or administrative rule the task submittal is alleged to have violated;

(d) Demonstrate that the objecting party participated orally or in writing in the local process leading to the final decision.

(3) Objections that do not meet the requirements of section (2) of this rule will not be considered by the director or commission.

(4) If no valid objections are received within the 21-day objection period, the director may approve the work task. Regardless of whether valid objections are received, the director may make a determination of whether the work task final decision complies with the statewide planning goals and applicable statutes and administrative rules.

(5) When a subsequent work task conflicts with a work task that has been deemed acknowledged, or violates a statewide planning goal, applicable statute or administrative rule related to a previous work task, the director or commission shall not approve the submittal until all conflicts and compliance issues are resolved. In such case, the director or commission may enter an order deferring acknowledgment of all, or part, of the work task until completion of additional tasks.

(6) If valid objections are received or the department conducts its own review, the department must issue a report. The report shall address the issues raised in valid objections. The report shall identify specific work tasks to resolve valid objections or department concerns. A valid objection shall either be sustained or rejected by the department or commission based on the statewide planning goals, or applicable statutes or administrative rules.

(4) If the director does not issue an order or refer the work task within the time limits set by section (3) of this rule, and the department did not receive any valid objections to the work task, the work task shall be deemed approved. In such cases, the department will provide a letter to the local government certifying that the work task is approved.

(5) If the department received one or more valid objections to the work task, the director must either issue an order or refer the work task to the commission for review.

(6) Appeals of a director’s decision are subject to the following requirements:
