| Adopted New and Amended Administrative Rules |
|
On March 13, 2009, the Land Conservation and Development Commission (LCDC) adopted new and amended administrative rules concerning urban growth boundaries (UGBs).
The new and amended rules clarify requirements regarding the adoption and amendment of UGBs; provide "safe harbors" intended to reduce local government time and cost in amending a UGB; and clarify procedures for LCDC review of UGBs in the manner of periodic review under ORS 197.626.
The new and amended rules were filed with the Secretary of State on April 8, 2009, and took effect April 16, 2009.

| Background |
|
On June 19, 2008, the Land Conservation and Development Commission (LCDC) directed the department to continue policy work toward streamlining the Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) amendment process, initiating “Phase 2” of an ongoing project that had begun in 2004. The commission also appointed a work group to guide this project, described below.
LCDC initiated the first phase of this project in 2004, including a work group to guide that effort. Based on recommendations from that work group, LCDC adopted amendments to Statewide Planning Goal 14: Urbanization in 2005, and a new set of administrative rules interpreting the goal, OAR 660, Division 24 in 2006. When it adopted the new rules in 2006, LCDC directed the department to continue working on elements of these rules during the 2007-09 biennium, including ideas that had been discussed but not adopted as part of Phase 1.
The Phase 2 work group proposed additional amendments to the UGB rules in the fall of 2008. After a public hearing on these proposals, the work group continued to meet and proposed a final recommendation in January 2009. LCDC held a second public hearing on this recommendation, and adopted the new and amended administrative rules on March 13, 2009.
