There appeared to be support from the Planning Commission to pursue this 'r ,e..' consolidation. Y a MI Currently the City has separate zoning and comprehensive plan maps. Both maps are regulatory in nature. Typically,a comprehensive plan map illustrates the general range of • r », ' :`;•''. .. allowed land used and is implemented by the specific land use designations of the zoning map. The comprehensive plan map also serves to establish future land uses of the unincorporated areas within the urban services boundary(USB)that become effective upon i'` ,....-'- " annexation. For example,a County zoning of R-8.5 would be annexed into the City with a /"wA „k " / City zoning of R-7.5, ,Y Reasons for pursuing the consolidation include: ',' • The Lake Oswego Comprehensive plan map is very specific. Almost all designations " e y; on the plan and zone map are identical • Future land use designations shown on the comprehensive plan map for the unincorporated areas can still be identified using is single land use map k • Less maintenrnce is require for map amendments and updates *' 1 • Greater accuracy and consistency is insured with one map,eliminating chances for discrepancies n p` Y ;; IV. Quality of Life Indicators(QOL)Related to the Goal ," The intent of this section is to take the opportunity to incorporate QOL indicators with ny• Comprehensive Plan goals.

J F. I. The legislative and regulatory context of land use planning in Lake Oswego has changed substantially �' since the first Comprehensive Plan was adopted in 1978, The City has amended or adopted new land use regulations and codes necessary to implement much of the initial Plan.There have also been many . < state legislative mandates in the last 16 years, The City has amended its zoning and development regulations extensively to comply with these new laws. _,x.4,�' 11 •j" One of the most significant legislative changes which directly affects the Comprehensive Plan was ORS 197,628:Periodic Review,and its implementing Administrative Rules,OAR 660,Divisions 19 and 25, The Periodic Review Rule requires jurisdictions to review and update their plans on a periodic 'E a basis to address changing conditions and new laws. Concurrent with Periodic Review, cities and :.., 7 counties are required to show that adequate opportunities are provided for industrial and commercial development consistent with community need(OAR 660,Division 9), Lake Oswego adopted a Public Facility Plan(PFP)in 1997[PA 1-971, The applicable portions of the PFP and its subsequent updates 01 a ,, are incorporated by reference into the Comprehensive Plan, The PFP shows how key public facilities can be provided to meet anticipated need per OAR 660,Division 11, a •, » Lake Oswego's Periodic Review was accepted as complete and in conformance with relevant rules in L.... December, 1991 by the Department of Land Conservation and Development(DLCD), The City also ^`'� complies with the Metropolitan Housing Rule(OAR 660, Division 7), The 1-lousing Rule requires , r, Lake Oswego and other Portland Metropolitan Area cities to provide the opportunity for overall hous- »" . ing densities at a minimum of 10 units per acre and at a 50/50 multi-family/single family housing mix. ".""' In the future,Metro Regional Framework Plans and Functional Plans may require Lake Oswego and other communities to provide for greater housing densities in appropriate areas,such as the downtown commercial district and along identified major transit corridors,as a means to ensure a compact urban • form in the Portland Metropolitan Area. Policies for industrial and commercial development,housing, ;' " and public facilities arc also addressed within Comprehensive Plan chapters per wining to Goal 9: . Economic Development,Goal 11:Public Facilities and Services, Goal 12:Transportation, and Goal ` :" 10:Housing, The character of Lake Oswego has changed since the Plan was first adopted, The community is now experiencing much less development than occurred in the past, This is because most of the develop- , "" .. able land in the City has been built upon, Future development will likely consist of small land f, 0:1.0 4 u a 2,1�2 LAKE OSWEGO OOMPREHENSIIvt PLAN /f/�, • " +.* AA(3 ) . ,, y , , • , .k`.. k 1+ is \, ' -4..
