PUBLIC COMMENT - DAN TERRELL & BILL KLOOS ON BEHALF OF HBA (1-4-17)

Agenda Item 4 - UGB Rulemaking December 3-4, 2015 - LCDC Meeting Page 11 of 56 (3) Encourage the conservation of important farm and forest lands, particularly lands that are needed to sustain agricultural and forest products industries; (4) Encourage cities to increase the development capacity within the urban growth boundaries of the cities; (5) Encourage the provision of an adequate supply of serviceable land that is planned for needed urban residential and industrial development; and (6) Assist residents in understanding the major local government decisions that are likely to determine the form of a city's growth. The department gave consideration to these intents in drafting the rules. They are also proposed to be included in the first proposed rule of the new division (OAR 660-038-0000), discussed below. It should be noted that there is no particular priority to these intent statements. In other words they should be considered as a whole; no one purpose described above exceeds the value of any of the others, even though satisfying some individual principles may impact the others.
