Chapter 660 - LAND CONSERVATION AND DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
Division 46 - Middle Housing in Medium and Large Cities
Section 660-046-0235 - Alternative Siting or Design Standards
Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 9, September 1, 2024
A Large City may adopt Siting or Design Standards not authorized by OAR 660-046-0220 or OAR 660-046-0225 as allowed if the city can demonstrate that it meets the applicable criteria in this section. Alternative Siting or Design standards do not include minimum Lot or Parcel size and maximum density requirements. If a Large City proposes to adopt alternative Siting or Design Standards, the Large City must submit to the Department findings and analysis demonstrating that the proposed standard or standards will not, individually or cumulatively, cause unreasonable cost or delay to the development of Middle Housing. To demonstrate that, the Large City must consider how a standard or standards, individually and cumulatively, affect the following factors in comparison to what is would otherwise be required under OAR 660-046-0220 or OAR 660-046-0225:
(1) The total time and cost of construction, including design, labor, and materials;
(2) The total cost of land;
(3) The availability and acquisition of land, including in areas with existing development;
(4) The total time and cost of permitting and fees required to make land suitable for development;
(5) The cumulative livable floor area that can be produced; and
(6) The proportionality of cumulative time and cost imposed by the proposed standard or standards in relationship to the public need or interest the standard or standards fulfill.
