(6) Where applicable, future land use assumptions for transportation planning must allocate growth assumptions for employment and housing within climate-friendly areas as provided in OAR 660-012-0320 before allocating growth to other parts of the city or county.

(7) Future land use assumptions must be developed at a sufficient level of detail to understand where future development is expected.
