the case of zone changes, adjacent property owners would be provided an opportunity to comment on the interpretation of the Metro Plan designation as part of these quasi- judicial heatings. These processes are clearly consistent with Statewide Planning Goal 2. Another aspect of the Goal 2 compliance issue raised in the testimony is the concern that the proposed Metro Plan Diagram in Exhibit C is not reflective of current adopted land inventories; and, further, that if some parcels on the Diagram are subject to interpretation in the future, the interpretations that result in a changed designation will make the Metro Plan Diagram more inconsistent with the inventories. The statement in the testimony that "there has not been a governing body adoption of the RLID inventories, and none is proposed here" is inaccurate. All of the land inventories currently adopted and acknowledged by DLCD are based on GIS data in RLID. The Diagram presented in Exhibit C is reflective of those inventories except to the extent that the designations of some parcels are proposed to change as described in the proposal. During the Planning Commission process, an analysis of the impact of these changes on the buildable lands supply in each land use category was conducted and this resulted in the conclusion: "the net effect of the proposed Plan Diagram changes does not result in a net shortage of buildable land in any of the categories." The interpretation of the parcels that border a different plan designation may affect the inventories in the future. The same is true for all Metro Plan diagram changes made in the interim between periodic reviews. This is the reason why an analysis of the cumulative impact of plan designation changes since the last periodic review is required as part of the Periodic Review process, and was accomplished for this Periodic Review in 1995. · Continuing to allow interpretations of plan designations for the parcels specified is consistent with state law, including ORS 197.296. ORS 197.296 requires there be a 20 year supply of residential land at the time of periodic review or during a legislative review of the UGB. The 1999 Residential Land and Housing Study was adopted and acknowledged by DLCD to be in compliance with Statewide Planning Goals and administrative rules as part of this periodic review process. The DLCD notice for this · metropolitan region to complete the residential land analysis was dated prior to the effective date of ORS 197.296 and, at the time that study was conducted, DLCD determined that the local governments were not required to meet ORS 197.296 during this periodic review. The 1999 Residential Land and Housing Study determined that there was a sufficient supply of residential land in all categories until at least the year 2015. · The local governments are not refusing to use available technology, and, in fact, are using the GIS technology to its best advantage. The Regional Land Information Database (RLID) is a database. It is a tool to report, through the generation of maps from data files, the plan designation that has been entered into that data base.
