OAR 660-008-0070
Non-Compliance in Adoption and Implementation of Strategies to Meet Future Housing Need Identified in a Housing Production Strategy Report
(1)
If circumstances impede a city’s ability to implement one or more Strategies to Meet Future Housing Need in coherence with the timeline adopted in the city’s Housing Production Strategy Report, the city must notify the Department of the expected delinquency within 90 days of the end of the timeline to implement the specific Strategy to Meet Future Housing Need adopted in the city’s Housing Production Strategy Report. The notice must identify specific actions, or a combination of actions, that the city is currently taking, or will take, to address the delinquency. This may include, but is not required to include, amendments to the adopted Housing Production Strategy Report such that the city identifies a different action, or combination of actions, to address the specific housing need. The Department and the city may agree to remediation either through enhanced review of the documents, directed technical assistance to overcome the impediment as available, or other similar agreement.(2)
If a city does not take sufficient action to mitigate the identified delinquency, either through a failure to provide notice to the Department as provided in section (1) or through a failure to implement the specific actions, or combination of actions, by the timeline identified in the notice to the Department pursuant to section (1), the Department shall work with the city and may seek mitigation of the issues through an Intergovernmental Agreement outlining specific compliance actions, a timeline of deliverables, and subsequent enforcement actions. The Intergovernmental Agreement may or may not include directed technical assistance or financial resources.(3)
If the Department and the city have entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement under section (2) and the city, at the discretion of the Department, has not sufficiently mitigated the identified delinquency, the Department may remove the city from consideration of technical assistance or financial resource awards.(4)
If the Department finds that the city consistently or routinely does not satisfy the terms of Intergovernmental Agreements and the criteria provided in OAR 660-008-0055 (Review of Housing Production Strategy Reports) or this section, the Department may petition the Commission to act under ORS 197.319 (Procedures prior to request of an enforcement order) to 197.335 (Order for compliance with goals) to require the city to comply with ORS 197.295 to 197.314 (Required siting of manufactured homes), this division, or statewide land use planning goals related to housing or urbanization.
