Expedited Land Division
17.53.090 Expedited Land Division.
The expedited land division process is an action of local government which establishes a 63-day review period of a complete application for residential development within the urban growth boundary providing that the review body does not take action to extend the 63-day time period as stated in ORS 197.370(2) and (3). In order for an expedited land division application to be considered, the following criteria apply:
A. The land is zoned for residential use and is within the urban growth boundary;
B. The land is solely for the purpose of residential use, including recreational or open space uses accessory to residential use.
C. The land division will not provide for dwellings or accessory buildings to be located on land that is specifically mapped and designated in the comprehensive plan and land use regulations for full or partial protection of natural features under the statewide planning goals that protect:
1. Open spaces, scenic and historic areas and natural resources;
2. The Willamette River Greenway;
3. Estuarine resources;
4. Coastal shore lands; and
5. Beaches and Dunes.
D. The land division satisfies minimum street or other right-of-way connectivity standards established by acknowledged land use regulations or, if such standards are not contained in the applicable regulations, as required by statewide planning goals or rules.
E. The land division either creates enough lots or parcels to allow building residential units at 80 percent or more of the maximum net density permitted by the zoning designation of the site, or is a land division that will create three or fewer parcels under ORS 92.010.
An expedited land division is not a land use decision or a limited land use decision under ORS 197.015 or a permit under ORS 215.402 or 227.160.
