Oregon

Summary: Oregon has a long history of leadership on land use planning. Oregon has stringent regulations regarding local governments’ creation and use of comprehensive plans in land-use planning and development projects. Each municipality must develop a local comprehensive plan and all plans must be based on the state’s 19 planning goals, which include improving upon existing transportation facilities and providing effective transportation and mass transit facilities for high-density communities. The State Department of Land Use and Conservation regulates local governments, special districts and state agencies undertaking land-use changes. For a full list of state goals, please see the link below.
