Agenda Item 4 - UGB Rulemaking <br />December 3-4, 2015 - LCDC Meeting <br />Page 49 of 56 <br />Section (7) is an analog to OAR 660-024-0020(2), establishing the general requirement for <br />mapping the boundary at a scale sufficient to identify specific lots and parcels, and to provide a <br />suitable description that allows identification of the precise location of the boundary. <br />Section (8) implements the Goal 14 requirement for joint city and county adoption of the UGB <br />and for a coordinated process in the evaluation and amendment of the boundary. <br />Section (9) provides a numeric definition of "roughly proportional" to help local governments <br />interpret this new statutory requirement. <br />0190: Additional Planning Requirements for Residential Lands Added to the UGB <br />(Page 31) <br />General: Cities that use the method in this division to provide land for needed housing must plan <br />for residential lands added to the UGB as provided in this rule, in addition to the general <br />planning requirements set forth in OAR 660-038-0180 (described above). This is necessary <br />because ORS 197A includes additional planning requirements for residential land (but not other <br />types of land) added to a UGB using the new simplified methods. <br />Sections (1) and (2): These sections require cities to ensure that the residential densities and mix <br />the city has determined are appropriate in OAR 660-038-0030 to 0080 can be achieved. This <br />means that the city must have residential plan designations and zoning in place that will allow <br />the expected residential development to actually occur, and that the city has adopted clear and <br />objective standards for review of development applications for needed housing, as is already <br />required by ORS 197.307. <br />1000 Friends of Oregon recommends deletion of references to and requirements for clear and <br />objective standards for needed housing under the theory that this requirement will deter cities <br />from using the simplified process. The department strongly disagrees with this recommendation. <br />Cities must have clear and objective standards by state statute (ORS 197.307). In addition, both <br />ORS 197A.310 and ORS 197A.312 include provisions requiring cities to plan and zone lands "to <br />meet the requirements for needed housing," of which the clear and objective standards <br />requirement is a key provision. <br />Sections (3) and (4): These sections apply to cities with UGB populations of 10,000 or greater. <br />ORS 197A.312 imposes additional requirements on larger cities - they must either adopt certain <br />measures that promote housing choice and affordability, or prove that they already have adopted <br />certain such measures and are already experiencing above-average levels of efficient residential <br />development. <br />Section (3) references Table 8, at the back of the draft rules document. This table includes a list <br />of 31 measures that promote housing choice and affordability, 13 of which are classified as <br />"major," and 18 of which are classified as "minor." A city with a UGB population of 10,000 or <br />more would be required to adopt at least one of the "major' measures or three of the "minor" <br />measures concurrently with any UGB amendment. While most of the measures would require <br />
