This message provides the notice of the Department of Land Conservation and Development rulemaking that you have requested.
Filing Caption:
Oregon Housing Needs Analysis Program Implementation
Summary:
The Land Conservation and Development Commission (LCDC or commission) is considering adoption, amendment, and repeal of Oregon Administrative Rules that prescribe standards guiding the implementation
of the Oregon Housing Needs Analysis (OHNA) as provided in House Bill 2001 (2023), House Bill 2889 (2023), and Senate Bill 1129 (2025).
The OHNA articulates new responsibilities for state agencies and local governments to reorient the implementation of Statewide Land Use Planning Goals 10 (Housing) and 14 (Urbanization) to produce more housing, ensure equitable access to housing, and ensure state and local governments take action to address local or regional housing needs. DLCD proposes to repeal OAR chapter 660, division 7 in its entirety and relocate any relevant sections to OAR chapter 660, division 8. The proposed adoption, amendment, and repeals in OAR chapter 660, division 8 would refine the way local governments identify and respond to key housing needs.
The proposed adoption, amendment, and repeals in OAR chapter
660, divisions 21 and 24 establish a more connected and clear process for local governments to plan for residential land need and coordinate urban
growth. Rules related to these programs must be adopted by LCDC by January 1, 2026.
The proposed rules guide cities with populations over 10,000, counties within the Portland Metro boundary, and urban areas within Tillamook County.
