This needs a sideboard to prevent gerrymandering and <br />exclusion of a flatter area just because it's next to a steep site. The way it's written now, a 20- <br />acre flat area could be excluded just by combining it with an adjacent 60-acre hillside. <br />(a) Contiguous areas q f at least five acres where 75 percent or more Q f the land has a slope of 25 <br />percent or greater, provided the areas do not contain any contiguous portions larger than five <br />acres that are less than 25 percent slope. Slope shall be measured as the increase in elevation <br />divided by the horizontal distance at maximum ten foot contour intervals,- <br />660-024-0065(8) - Exception lands capacity. In the interests of clarity and consistency, delete <br />this language and refer to -0067(6). <br />(8) Land may not be excluded from the preliminary study area based on a finding of <br />impracticability that is primarily a result of existing development patterns. However, a city may <br />forecast development capacity in accordance with OAR 660-024-0067(6). <br />;t <br />eqpaeifi+, <br />660-024-0067(5) - Determination of suitability.
