Oregon Administrative Rules › Chapter 660 - LAND CONSERVATION AND DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT › Division 38 - SIMPLIFIED URBAN GROWTH BOUNDARY METHOD › Section 660-038-0060 - Buildable Lands Inventory (BLI) for Residential Land within the UGB

Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 7, July 1, 2024
A city must determine the supply and development capacity of
				lands within its UGB by conducting a buildable lands inventory (BLI) as
				provided in this rule.
(1) For
			 purposes of the BLI, the city shall classify the existing residential
			 comprehensive plan and zoning designations within its UGB based on allowed
			 density. The classification shall be based on either:
(a) The allowed density and housing types on
			 the comprehensive plan map; or
(b)
			 If the comprehensive plan map does not differentiate residential districts by
			 density or type of housing, the applicable city or county zoning map, as
			 follows:
(A) For cities with a UGB population
			 less than 2,500, districts shall be classified as follows:
(i) Districts with a maximum density less
			 than or equal to eight dwelling units per acre: low density residential. A city
			 may classify a district as low density residential despite a maximum density of
			 greater than eight dwelling units per acre if the majority of existing
			 residences within the district are single-family detached and if the city has a
			 medium density residential district as determined by subparagraph
			 (ii);
(ii) Districts with a maximum
			 density greater than eight dwelling units per acre: medium density
			 residential.
(B) For
			 cities with UGB populations greater than or equal to 2,500, districts shall be
			 classified as follows:
(i) Districts with a
			 maximum density less than or equal to eight dwelling units per acre: low
			 density residential. A city may classify a district as low density residential
			 despite a maximum density of greater than eight dwelling units per acre if the
			 majority of existing residences within the district are single-family detached
			 and the city has a medium density residential district as determined by
			 subparagraph (ii);
(ii) Districts
			 with a maximum density greater than eight dwelling units per acre and less than
			 or equal to 16 dwelling units per acre: medium density residential, unless the
			 district has been classified as low density residential pursuant to
			 subparagraph (i). A city may classify a district as medium density residential
			 despite a maximum density of greater than 16 dwelling units per acre if the
			 majority of development within the district is developed at densities of
			 between eight and 16 dwelling units per net acre and the city has a high
			 density residential district as determined by subparagraph (iii);
(iii) Districts with a maximum density
			 greater than 16 dwelling units per acre: high density residential, unless the
			 district has been classified as medium density residential pursuant to
			 subparagraph (ii);
(iv) A city may
			 not classify as low density a district that allows higher residential densities
			 than a district the city has classified as medium density. A city may not
			 classify as medium density a district that allows higher residential densities
			 than a district the city has classified as high density.
