The adoption of Ordinance No. 20224 was appealed to the Land Use Board of <br />ApPeals (LUBA) on March 19, 2001. On February 28, 2002, LUBA issued its decision remanding <br />the adoPtion of Ordinance 20224 back to the City. LUBA's remand of the new land use code was <br />based on its dete~6nations that: l) some sections contain standards or criteria for "needed housing" <br />apPliCatiOns bm are not "clear and objective," 2) some sections decrease or increase the level of <br />protection fb~ areas on the City's acknowledged goal 5 inventory but the City has not yet shown that <br />those chSaqges are consistent with State-wide Planning Goal Five; and 3) some sections could decrease <br />the City's supply of commercial, industrial or residential land but the City has not yet shown that <br />those sections are consistent with State-wide Planning Goals Nine or Ten. The effect of LUBA's <br /> <br />remand is to render Ordinance 20224 ineffective. <br /> <br />Ordinance- 1 <br /> <br /> <br />
