OAR 660-014-0070
Annexations of Lands not subject to an Acknowledged Comprehensive Plan

(1)

All appropriate goals must be applied during annexation by the city. If the annexation is subject to the jurisdiction of a local government boundary commission, the boundary commission may utilize the findings of the city. The boundary commission, however, remains responsible for ensuring that the annexation is in conformance with the statewide goals.

(2)

For the annexation of lands not subject to an acknowledged plan, the requirements of Goal 14 (Urbanization) shall be considered satisfied only if the city or local government boundary commission, after notice to the county and an opportunity for it to comment, finds that adequate public facilities and services can be reasonably made available; and:

(a)

The lands are physically developed for urban uses or are within an area physically developed for urban uses; or

(b)

The lands are clearly and demonstrably needed for an urban use prior to acknowledgment of the appropriate plan and circumstances exist which make it clear that the lands in question will be within an urban growth boundary when the boundary is adopted in accordance with the goals.

(3)

Lands for which the findings in section (2) of this rule cannot be made shall not be annexed until acknowledgment of an urban growth boundary by the commission as part of the appropriate comprehensive plan.
