Initiative
Tracker -- Make
Land Available For Traded-Sector Industry Development.
Ensure
that our land use system provides an adequate short- and long-term
supply of land for traded-sector industry, and the critical wholesale,
warehousing and transportation infrastructure that supports industry,
while protecting other critical values important to Oregon’s quality
of life.

Agenda
for 2005:
- Land Use Review.
Support legislation and funding by the 2005 Oregon Legislature to
enable a review of Oregon’s 30-year-old land use system, as proposed
by Lane Shetterly, Director, Department of Land Conservation and
Development. Participate in this review process. Senate
Bill 82, which passed out of
the Senate Budget Subcommittee on Natural Resources (3-0) on June
22, 2005, and now heads to the full Senate Budget Committee,
would enable such a
review.
- 2X
Site Increase.
Participate in efforts to identify and certify a twofold increase
in the project-ready industrial sites located throughout Oregon.
-
Land
Ties to Economic Strategies.
Participate in and help lead the development of local, regional
and statewide economic strategies, and work to ensure that the
identification, certification and use of industrial land connects
to and supports these strategies.
-
Site
Criteria Evaluation.
Evaluate existing and proposed certified sites to determine how
private sector site selectors view the suitability of Oregon’s
industrial land inventory in the context of their needs in a
competitive 21st century marketplace. This evaluation is intended
to provide feedback and marketplace direction to local, regional
and state economic strategies that seek traded sector industrial
employers.
- Citizen
Partnership.
Work with Oregon citizens to create and preserve a partnership
that provides for both livable communities and greater industrial,
traded sector land use.
- Work Synthesis. With
GERT and other public sector partners synthesize the work of
various task forces and committees on industrial land and
streamlined permitting.
- Measure
37 Impact Assessment.
Participate in efforts to identify and measure the impact of
Ballot Measure 37 on the state land use program and existing
efforts to expand Oregon’s inventory and use of traded sector
industrial land.
- State
Legislative Budget Request. $55 million bond to identify and
certify a twofold increase in the project-read industrial sites
located throughout Oregon.*
*This
is a reduction from the Governor’s proposed budget.
The Governor has challenged those who propose to spend more to
identify the accompanying cut.
To make room for Brand Oregon funding, which is not in the
Governor’s budget (see
Branding and Marketing Oregon initiative),
the Oregon Business Plan Steering Committee recommends a lower funding
level for industrial lands programs than the Governor proposed.
There may be other reduction opportunities of which we are
unaware, but we feel it is important to stick with the budget
discipline suggested by the Governor.
