Updating Oregon's 30-Year-Old Planning Process
A proposal to update Oregon's 30-year-old planning process is met with approval.
"Oregon Democratic Governor Ted Kulongoski has asked his five business-and-urban-issue-savvy appointees to the seven-member Land Conservation and Development Commission to help streamline the state's 30-year-old land-use planning process without diluting its essence... The commission, reports Oregonian writer Laura Oppenheimer, reviews local land-use plans, updates rules and does some work for the Department of Land Conservation and Development, all under the state's 1973 landmark growth-management system of protecting farmland and promoting development within urban growth boundaries, with some expressing concern that its environmental aspects have gradually overshadowed the economic needs."
