Or. Admin. Code § 660-008-0010 - Allocation of Buildable Land

(1) The mix and density of needed housing is determined in the housing needs projection. Sufficient buildable land shall be designated on the comprehensive plan map to satisfy housing needs by type and density range as determined in the housing needs projection. The local buildable lands inventory must document the amount of buildable land in each residential plan designation.
(2) For purposes of preparing Housing Capacity Analyses as provided in OAR 660-008-0045, the following provisions apply to local governments that are subject to OAR 660-012-0310(2):
(a) Following the initial designation of climate-friendly areas as required in OAR 660-012-0315, local governments shall maintain climate-friendly area zones with sufficient zoned residential building capacity to contain at least 30 percent of current and projected housing needs. However, the local government shall determine housing capacity within the climate-friendly area for the purpose of meeting identified housing needs as required by Goal 10 and this division in a manner consistent with ORS 197.296(5).
(b) The local government shall calculate the zoned residential building capacity within climate-friendly areas consistent with the provisions of OAR 660-012-0315(2), or utilizing an alternative methodology as provided in OAR 660-012-0320(10). The local government shall include demonstration of compliance with this requirement in each subsequent Housing Capacity Analysis.
(c) The local government shall establish land use requirements in climate-friendly areas as provided in OAR 660-012-0320 for any newly designated climate-friendly area concurrent with or prior to the adoption of a Housing Capacity Analysis.
(3) Beginning June 30, 2027:
(a) A local government subject to OAR 660-012-0310(2) that has identified a need to expand its urban growth boundary to accommodate an identified residential land need shall designate and zone additional climate-friendly area as provided in OAR 660-012-0315 concurrent with expansion of the urban growth boundary.
(b) A local government shall designate and zone climate-friendly area of sufficient size to accommodate the number of housing units equivalent to one-half of the number of additional housing units that cannot reasonably be accommodated within the current urban growth boundary.
(c) The local government shall calculate the climate-friendly area needed based on zoned residential building capacity as provided in OAR 660-012-0315(2), or utilizing an alternative methodology as provided in OAR 660-012-0320(10), while the local government shall determine housing capacity within the climate-friendly area for the purpose of meeting identified housing needs as required by Goal 10 and this division in a manner consistent with ORS 197.296(5). Identified housing needs that would otherwise necessitate an urban growth boundary expansion shall only be accommodated in climate-friendly areas to the extent that the production of needed housing types within the climate-friendly areas may be anticipated consistent with ORS 197.296(5).
(d) The local government may choose to designate a portion of the newly expanded urban growth boundary area as climate-friendly area if the area qualifies for designation as provided in OAR 660-012-0310(2), or may choose to designate additional climate-friendly area in other locations within the urban growth boundary that qualify for designation.
(e) The local government may accommodate additional climate-friendly areas within one or more locations within the urban growth boundary. The designation and zoning of additional climate friendly area shall comply with all applicable requirements for climate-friendly areas as provided in OAR 660-012-0310 through OAR 660-012-0325.
