State
Growth Management Law These laws are designed to control the timing and phasing of urban growth and to determine the type of land use that will be permitted at the local and regional levels. They take a comprehensive approach to regulating the rate of development and set policies to ensure that most new construction is concentrated within designated urban growth areas or boundaries. They direct local governments to identify lands with high resource value and protect them from development. Oregon has one of the nation's strongest growth management laws. Its 1972 Land Conservation and Development Act directed county officials to inventory farmland and designate it for agriculture in their comprehensive plans. County governments were required to enact exclusive agricultural protection zoning and adopt other farmland protection policies. City governments were required to establish UGB's. As a result of this law, every county in the state has implemented agricultural zoning, and more than 16 million acres of farmland is now protected from development.
