[1973 c.80 §31; 1977 c.664 §33; 1981 c.748 §14] SPECIAL DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS Note: Sections 6 to 8, chapter 636, Oregon Laws 2009, provide: Sec. 6. (1) There is established the Oregon Transfer of Development Rights Pilot Program in the Department of Land Conservation and Development. Working with the State Forestry Department, the State Department of Agriculture and local governments and with other state agencies, as appropriate, the Department of Land Conservation and Development shall implement the pilot program. (2) The Land Conservation and Development Commission shall adopt rules to implement the pilot program. The commission, by rule, may: (a) Establish a maximum ratio of transferable development rights to severed development interests in a sending area for each pilot project. The maximum ratio: (A) Must be calculated to protect lands planned and zoned for forest use and to create incentives for owners of land in the sending area to participate in the pilot project; (B) May not exceed one transferable development right to one severed development interest if the receiving area is outside of urban growth boundaries and outside unincorporated communities; (C) May not exceed two transferable development rights to one severed development interest if the receiving area is in an unincorporated community; and (D) Must be consistent with plans for public facilities and services in the receiving area. (b) Require participating owners of land in a sending area to grant conservation easements pursuant to ORS 271.715 to 271.795, or otherwise obligate themselves, to ensure that additional residential development of their property does not occur. (3) The commission, by rule, shall establish a process for selecting pilot projects from among potential projects nominated by local governments. The process must require local governments to nominate potential projects by submitting a concept plan for each proposed pilot project, including proposed amendments, if any, to the comprehensive plan and land use regulations implementing the plan that are necessary to implement the pilot project. (4) When selecting a pilot project, the commission must find that the pilot project is: (a) Reasonably likely to provide a net benefit to the forest economy or the agricultural economy of this state; (b) Designed to avoid or minimize adverse effects on transportation, natural resources, public facilities and services, nearby urban areas and nearby farm and forest uses; and (c) Designed so that new development authorized in a receiving area does not conflict with a resource or area inventoried under a statewide land use planning goal relating to natural resources, scenic and historic areas and open spaces, or with an area identified as a Conservation Opportunity Area in the "Oregon Conservation Strategy" adopted by the State Fish and Wildlife Commission and published by the State Department of Fish and Wildlife in September of 2006. (5) The commission may select up to three pilot projects for the transfer of development rights under sections 6 to 8, chapter 636, Oregon Laws 2009. (6) A sending area for a pilot project under sections 6 to 8, chapter 636, Oregon Laws 2009: (a) Must be planned and zoned for forest use; (b) May not exceed 10,000 acres; and (c) Must contain four or fewer dwelling units per square mile. (7) The commission may establish additional requirements for sending areas. (8)(a) Except as provided otherwise in paragraph (b) of this subsection, a local government participating in a pilot project shall select a receiving area for the pilot project based on the following priorities: (A) First priority is lands within an urban growth boundary. (B) Second priority is lands that are adjacent to an urban growth boundary and that are subject to an exception from a statewide land use planning goal relating to agricultural lands or forestlands. (C) Third priority is lands that are: (i) Within an urban unincorporated community or a rural community; or (ii) In a resort community, or a rural service center, that contains at least 100 dwelling units at the time the pilot project is approved. (D) Fourth priority is exception areas approved under ORS 197.732 that are adjacent to urban unincorporated communities or rural communities, if the county agrees to bring the receiving area within the boundaries of the community and to provide the community with water and sewer service. (b) The commission may authorize a local government to select lower priority lands over higher priority lands for a receiving area in a pilot project only if the local government has established, to the satisfaction of the commission, that selecting higher priority lands as the receiving area is not likely to result in the severance and transfer of a significant proportion of the development interests in the sending area within five years after the receiving area is established. (c) The minimum residential density of development allowed in receiving areas intended for residential development is: (A) For second priority lands described in paragraph (a)(B) of this subsection, at least five dwelling units per net acre or 125 percent of the average residential density allowed within the urban growth boundary when the pilot project is approved by the commission, whichever is greater. (B) For third priority and fourth priority lands described in paragraph (a)(C) and (D) of this subsection, at least 125 percent of the average residential density allowed on land planned for residential use within the unincorporated community when the pilot project is approved by the commission. (d) For third and fourth priority lands described in paragraph (a)(C) and (D) of this subsection that are within one jurisdiction but adjacent to another jurisdiction, the written consent of the adjacent jurisdiction is required for designation of the receiving area. (e) A receiving area may not be located within 10 miles of the Portland metropolitan area urban growth boundary. (9) The commission may establish additional requirements for receiving areas. (10) The commission, by rule, may provide a bonus in the form of a higher transfer ratio if a substantial portion of the new development in the receiving area of the pilot project is affordable housing within an urban growth boundary. [2009 c.636 §6; 2010 c.5 §3; 2011 c.144 §1] Sec. 7. (1) Notwithstanding contrary provisions of statewide land use planning goals relating to public facilities and services and urbanization, and notwithstanding ORS 215.700 to 215.780, a local government may change its comprehensive plan and land use regulations implementing the plan to allow residential development in a receiving area consistent with sections 6 to 8, chapter 636, Oregon Laws 2009, if the Land Conservation and Development Commission has approved a concept plan for the pilot project. (2) The local governments having land use jurisdiction over lands included in the sending area and the receiving area for the pilot project shall adopt amendments to their respective comprehensive plans and land use regulations implementing the plans that are consistent with subsection (3) of this section. (3) When the commission has approved a proposed concept plan, the local governments having land use jurisdiction over the affected sending area and affected receiving area shall adopt overlay zone provisions and corresponding amendments to the comprehensive plan and land use regulations implementing the plan that identify the additional development allowed through participation in the pilot project. The Department of Land Conservation and Development shall review the overlay zones and corresponding comprehensive plan amendments in the manner of periodic review under ORS 197.628 to 197.650 [series became 197.628 to 197.651]. (4) Notwithstanding ORS 197.296 and 197.298 and statewide land use planning goals relating to urbanization, a local government may amend its urban growth boundary to include adjacent lands in a receiving area, consistent with an approved concept plan, if the net residential density of development authorized in the receiving area is at least five dwelling units per net acre or 125 percent of the average residential density allowed on land planned for residential use within the urban growth boundary when the pilot project is approved by the commission, whichever is greater. (5) Local governments or other entities may establish a development rights bank or other system to facilitate the transfer of development rights. (6) A county shall review an application for a pilot project under sections 6 to 8, chapter 636, Oregon Laws 2009, as a comprehensive plan amendment. A county may apply other procedures, including master plan approval, site plan review or conditional use review as the county finds appropriate to subsequent phases of review of the pilot project. (7) When development rights transfers authorized by the pilot project under sections 6 to 8, chapter 636, Oregon Laws 2009, result in the transfer of development rights from the jurisdiction of one local government to another local government and cause a potential shift of ad valorem tax revenues between jurisdictions, the local governments may enter into an intergovernmental agreement under ORS 190.003 to 190.130 that provides for sharing between the local governments of the prospective ad valorem tax revenues derived from new development in the receiving area. [2009 c.636 §7; 2011 c.144 §2] Sec. 8. (1) The Department of Land Conservation and Development, the State Forestry Department, a local government participating in the Oregon Transfer of Development Rights Pilot Program or a third-party holder identified by the Department of Land Conservation and Development may hold, monitor or enforce a conservation easement pursuant to ORS 271.715 to 271.795 or other property interest to ensure that lands in sending areas do not retain residential development rights transferred under sections 6 to 8 of this 2009 Act. (2) An entity that is eligible to be a holder of a conservation easement may acquire, from a willing seller in the manner provided by ORS 271.715 to 271.795, the right to carry out a use of land authorized under rules of the Land Conservation and Development Commission implementing the pilot program.
