provisions of this rule to review amendments to comprehensive plans or land use
regulations in lieu of the provisions of OAR 660-012-0060 when the amendment
is:
(a) To adopt a climate-friendly area as
provided in OAR 660-012-0310 through OAR 660-012-0320, or a Metro Region 2040
center; or
(b) Within an adopted
climate-friendly area or Metro Region 2040 center.
(2) Cities and counties considering
amendments to comprehensive plans or land use regulations to adopt or expand a
climate-friendly area as provided in OAR 660-012-0310 through OAR 660-012-0320,
or a Metro Region 2040 center, must make findings, including:
(a) A multimodal transportation gap summary
as provided in section (4); and
(b)
The multimodal transportation gap summary must include a highway impacts
summary as provided in section (5) if the designated climate-friendly area as
provided in OAR 660-012-0315 or Region 2040 center contains a ramp terminal
intersection, state highway, interstate highway, or adopted ODOT Facility
Plan.
(3) Cities and
counties considering amendments to comprehensive plans or land use regulations
within an adopted climate-friendly area or Metro Region 2040 center must make
findings including a highway impacts summary as provided in section (5) if:
(a) A city or county is reviewing a plan
amendment that includes property in an adopted Interchange Area Management
Plan, includes property within one-quarter mile of a ramp terminal
intersection, or includes property within one-quarter mile of a state highway
segment in an adopted ODOT Facility Plan area; or
(b) The city or county is reviewing a plan
amendment that would be reasonably likely to result in increasing traffic on
the state facility that exceeds the small increase in traffic defined in the
Oregon Highway Plan adopted by the Oregon Transportation Commission.
(4) A multimodal transportation
gap summary must be coordinated between the local jurisdiction, transportation
facility providers, and transportation services providers to consider
multimodal transportation needs in each climate-friendly area as provided in
OAR 660-012-0320 or Region 2040 center. The multimodal transportation gap
summary must include:
(a) A summary of the
existing multimodal transportation network within the climate-friendly
area;
(b) A summary of the gaps in
the pedestrian and bicycle networks in the climate-friendly area, including
gaps needed to be filled for people with disabilities, based on the summary of
the existing multimodal transportation network;
(c) If applicable as provided in section (2),
a highway impacts summary as provided in section (5); and
(d) A list of proposed projects to fill
multimodal network gaps identified in subsection (b).
(5) A highway impacts summary must identify
how the transportation system may be affected by implementation of the
climate-friendly area. The highway impacts summary must include:
(a) A summary of changes between existing and
proposed development capacity of the climate-friendly area based on the
proposed changes to the comprehensive plan and land use regulations;
(b) A summary of the additional motor vehicle
traffic generation that may be expected in the planning period, considering
reductions for expected complementary mixed-use development, additional
multimodal options, and assuming meeting goals for reductions in vehicle miles
traveled per capita; and
(c) A
summary of traffic-related deaths and serious injuries within the
climate-friendly area in the past five years.
(6) Cities and counties considering
amendments to comprehensive plans or land use regulations that affect areas
both inside and outside an adopted climate-friendly area or Metro Region 2040
center may either:
(a) Make separate findings
for areas inside the climate-friendly area or Metro Region 2040 center as
provided in this rule, and findings for areas outside the climate-friendly area
or Metro Region 2040 center as provided in OAR 660-012-0060; or
(b) Make findings for all affected areas as
provided in OAR 660-012-0060.
(7) Cities and counties shall provide notice
of proposed adoption of a multimodal transportation gap summary or a revised
highway impacts summary to ODOT and other affected transportation facility or
service providers prior to submitting notice as provided in OAR
660-018-0020.
