Ferrioli Champions Bill To Give Smaller Counties Land Use Flexibility

Oregon State Senate Republican Leader Ted Ferrioli is pushing a bill he says would allow smaller counties that had no population growth to be able to develop their own comprehensive land use plan that is not subject to the 19 statewide goals that are a key feature of the state’s land use laws.  Ferrioli says eight counties, including Sherman, Gilliam, and Wheeler counties, would be eligible to take advantage of Senate Bill 432.  Ferrioli says he based the bill on one adopted in Washington in the 1990’s.  Time may be running out for the bill, as the deadline for bills to be heard is coming next Friday.
