commercial lands which involve an amendment to the urban growth boundary must meet the requirements of OAR 660-004-0010(1 )(c)(B) and 660-004-0018(3)(a). (3) Short-Term Supply of Serviceable Sites. If the local government is required to prepare a public facility plan by OAR Chapter 660, Division 11 it shall complete subsections (a) through (c) of this section at the time of periodic review. Requirements of this rule apply only to local government decisions made at the time of periodic review. Subsequent implementation of or amendments to the comprehensive plan or the public facility plan which change the supply of serviceable industrial land are not subject to the requirements of this rule. Local governments shall: (a) Identify serviceable industrial and commercial sites. Decisions about whether or not a site is serviceable shall be made by the affected local govemment. Local governments are encouraged to develop specific criteria for deciding whether or not a site is "serviceable." Local governments should also consider whether or not extension of facilities is reasonably likely to occur considering the size and type of uses likely to occur and the cost or distance of facility extension; (b) Estimate the amount of serviceable industrial and commercial land likely to be needed during the short-term element of the public facilities plan. Appropriate techniques for estimating land needs include but are not limited to the following: (A) Projections or forecasts based on development trends in the area over previous years; and (B) Deriving a proportionate share of the anticipated 20-year need specified in the comprehensive plan. (c) Review and, if necessary, amend the comprehensive plan and the short-term element of the public facilities plan so that a three-year supply of serviceable sites is scheduled for each year, including the final year, of the short-term element of the public facilities plan. Amendments appropriate to implement this requirement include but are not limited to the following: (A) Changes to the short-term element of the public facilities plan to add or reschedule projects which make more land serviceable; (B) Amendments to the comprehensive plan which redesignate additional serviceable land for industrial or commercial use; and (C) Reconsideration of the planning area's economic development objectives and amendment of plan policies based on public facility limitations.
