What’s being proposed

Oregon’s Land Conservation and Development Commission is considering new rules for housing in unincorporated communities. The stated goal is more housing. The rules could also let counties raise density, expand community boundaries, and permit more intensive urban uses outside urban growth boundaries. Whether Lincoln-Gleneden Beach is affected depends on decisions that haven’t been made yet — which is why comment now matters.
