December 3-4, 2015 - LCDC Salem <br />Agenda Item 4, Attachment B <br />DRAFT OAR 660, division 24, rules to implement ORS 197A 2 d Public Draft: November 13, 2015 <br />1 660-024-0050 <br />2 Land Inventory and Response to Deficiency <br />3 (1) When evaluating or amending a UGB, a local government must inventory land inside the <br />4 UGB to determine whether there is adequate development capacity to accommodate 20-year <br />5 needs determined in OAR 660-024-0040. For residential land, the buildable land inventory must <br />6 include vacant and redevelopable land, and be conducted in accordance with OAR 660-007-0045 <br />7 or 660-008-0010, whichever is applicable, and ORS 197.296 for local governments subject to <br />8 that statute. For employment land, the inventory must include suitable vacant and developed land <br />9 designated for industrial or other employment use, and must be conducted in accordance with <br />10 OAR 660-009-0015. <br />11 (2) As safe harbors, a local government, except a city with a population over 25,000 or a <br />12 metropolitan service district described in ORS 197.015(13), may use the following assumptions <br />13 to inventory the capacity of buildable lands to accommodate housing needs: <br />14 (a) The infill potential of developed residential lots or parcels of one-half acre or more may <br />15 be determined by subtracting one-quarter acre (10,890 square feet) for the existing dwelling <br />16 and assuming that the remainder is buildable land; <br />17 (b) Existing lots of less than one-half acre that are currently occupied by a residence may be <br />18 assumed to be fully developed. <br />19 (3) As safe harbors when inventorying land to accommodate industrial and other employment <br />20 needs, a local government may assume that a lot or parcel is vacant if it is: <br />21 (a) Equal to or larger than one-half acre, if the lot or parcel does not contain a permanent <br />22 building; or <br />23 (b) Equal to or larger than five acres, if less than one-half acre of the lot or parcel is occupied <br />24 by a permanent building. <br />25 (4) If the inventory demonstrates that the development capacity of land inside the UGB is <br />26 inadequate to accommodate the estimated 20-year needs determined under OAR 660-024-0040, <br />27 the local government must amend the plan to satisfy the need deficiency, either by increasing the <br />28 development capacity of land already inside the city or by expanding the UGB, or both, and in <br />29 accordance with ORS 197.296 where applicable. Prior to expanding the UGB, a local <br />30 government must demonstrate that the estimated needs cannot reasonably be accommodated on <br />31 land already inside the UGB. If the local government determines there is a need to expand the <br />32 UGB, changes to the UGB must be determined by evaluating alternative boundary locations <br />33 consistent with Goal 14 and applicable rules at OAR 660-024-0060 or OAR 660-024-0065 and <br />34 OAR 660-024-0067. <br />7 <br />
