Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 7, July 1, 2024
A city must determine the supply and development capacity of
				employment lands within its UGB at the time of initiation by conducting a
				buildable lands inventory (BLI) for employment land as provided in this rule
				and OAR 660-038-00130.
(1) For
			 purposes of the employment BLI, the city shall classify the existing employment
			 zoning districts and plan map districts within its UGB as either "commercial"
			 or "industrial" based on the applicable definitions in OAR 660-038-0010.
			 Districts that allow both commercial and industrial uses as per the definition
			 must be classified as one or the other, based on the intent of the plan and
			 with consideration of whether the predominant NAICS categories allowed by the
			 district are characteristic of a commercial or industrial use.
(2) The city must identify all lots and
			 parcels in the UGB with either a commercial or industrial designation on the
			 comprehensive plan map or zoning district, determine which lots or parcels are
			 vacant, partially vacant, or developed and calculate the total area of such
			 land, as follows:
(a) A city may assume that a
			 lot or parcel is vacant if the real market improvement value is less than
			 $5,000 or if the real market improvement value is less than or equal to five
			 percent of the real market land value.
(b) A city may assume that a lot or parcel is
			 partially vacant if either:
(A) The real
			 market improvement value of the lot or parcel is greater than five percent and
			 less than 40 percent of the real market land value, in which case, the city
			 must assume that 50 percent of the lot or parcel is developed and 50 percent is
			 vacant, or
(B) Based on an
			 orthomap, the lot or parcel is greater than one acre in size and at least
			 one-half acre is not improved.
(c) A city may assume that a lot or parcel is
			 developed if the real market improvement value is greater than or equal to 40
			 percent of the real market land value.
(d) The city shall exclude the following lots
			 and parcels from the BLI for employment land:
(A) Lots and parcels, or portions of a lot or
			 parcel, that are designated on a recorded final plat as open space, common
			 area, utility area, conservation easement, private street, or other similar
			 designation without any additional capacity for commercial or industrial
			 development.
(B) Lots and parcels,
			 or portions of a lot or parcel, that are in use as a school, utility, or other
			 public facility or are dedicated as public right of way.
(C) Lots and parcels, or portions of a lot or
			 parcel, which are in use as a non-public institution or facility, including but
			 not limited to private schools and religious institutions. The excluded lots
			 and parcels or portions of lots and parcels may not include vacant or
			 unimproved lands that are owned by the non-public institution or
			 facility.
