2040 Comprehensive Plan Remand work session
Planning manager Will Groves briefed the board ahead of a Wednesday hearing on the 2040 Comprehensive Plan Remand, a limited legislative remand involving ordinance 202507. Changes split policy 10.1.3 into 10.1.3 and 10.1.4 and add supplemental findings in response to the LUBA/Looper remand, clarifying rural residential subtypes (non-resource lands, post-October-2000 Goal 3/4 exception lands, and pre-2000 residential lands) and their obligations under OAR 660.004. Discussion covered cluster and planned unit developments, which require 40 acres for PUDs and allow clustered lots leaving protected open space. No vote taken.
