Land use plan creates friction Two ASUO groups face budget freeze Two more ASUO-fund ed programs have had their budget monies frozen Women in Transition and Tabard Inn/Pot & Quill had their budgets frozen because "they are not organized,” says David Gibson, ASUO vice president of administra tion and finance The ASUO has been unable to contact the directors of the programs, he says The Physically Limited Union of Students had its funds frozen two weeks ago for the same reason Gibson says groups with frozen funds need to have their recognized directors contact the ASUO and discuss the organizations' situations before the monies will be released Women in Transition is a three-year-old program for women re-entering school after an absence The group has a budget of $2,154 Tabard Inn/Pot & Quill is a new group that received funding of $300 The program “encour ages students' self ex pression in all the creative arts." according to the organization’s written de scription » /. nr 1 v ■ v By David Steinmetz Of the Emerald Most parties agree Oregon's land use planning process has room for im provement. But the method to be used is the subject of a controversy that can only be decided at the polls Nov 2. Proponents of Ballot Measure 6 — a proposal to abolish all statewide land use planning laws and the Land Conservation and Development Commission — want all planning decisions returned to the local level, while opponents believe the state system needs only minor changes The LCDC's statewide planning goals would become only advisory under Mea sure 6, but each city and county would maintain a master land use plan. PRO Measure 6 proponents say the complexi ties of Senate Bill 100, which was passed in 1973 to give land-use planning authority to the state, discourage new industry from locating in Oregon Ed Fechtel, chairman of the board of directors of Oregon Citizens for Fair Land Planning Inc., says several companies have wanted to locate in Oregon or Oregon firms have wanted to expand, but they were not willing to put up with the state's land use laws Oregon Citizens for Fair Land Plan ning coordinated Ballot Measure 6 Seven years ago, Data General wanted to build on the Cone-Breeden site in Eugene The high-technology firm waited for five years while individuals made an appeal to LCDC on its zoning, says Fechtel. The firm ended up moving to North Ca rolina, where it now employs 5,000 people. Thousands of other potential jobs have been lost due to similiar time delays at tributed to Oregon's current land-use process, Fechtel says Fechtel says proponents of statewide planning consider LCDC to be "the ones who are capable of determining how much nf—'it v,"'"7/ ■■ » freedom people are to be allowed A recent report by the Stanford Research Institute International found it takes three to five times as long to get a project through in Portland as in Vancouver, Wash , and other cities, Fechtel says Election '82 Ballot Measures The Fantus Report, released earlier this year, rated Lane County according to what criteria industries consider when choosing a relocation site The report cited the power of "no growth" interests to block development, lack of compromise by either side on economic development issues, and the shortage of suitable industrial sites as det riments to industry relocation. Although two similiar ballot measures failed in 1976 and 1978, Fechtel says four years have allowed people to "become familiar with the processes" and their det rimental effect. "When the economy of this area is ab solutely dying, this law is absurd," Fechtel says CON Opponents of Measure 6 say statewide , i,,, .. i it u , land planning ensures industry land is available, vacant and suitable Robert Liberty, staff attorney with 1000 Friends of Oregon, says the idea that Oregon's economic development has been hurt due to SB 100 is "flatly incorrect." “No one has been able to show Oregon is slower than anywhere else" in providing available land, Liberty says. In the last six years, vacant land zoned for industry increased 79 percent in Oregon's 10 largest cities, Liberty says Gov. Vic Atiyeh s task force on the impact of Oregon's land use planning program reported that, while some industries had not located in Oregon because of land-use decisions, “it was not possible to pinpoint a single industry that had. beyond a doubt, failed to locate in Oregon solely because of state-mandated land use planning.” Current economic problems are the result of bad local planning and delays in local cooperation in the past, while the economic benefits of statewide authority in planning will be seen "in 10 years," Liberty says. Liberty praises Oregon’s current "pro gressive'' program as a "national precedent," with Hawaii having the only similar legislation. The system's consideration of both urban development and resource conservation aspects in decision making makes it the "most advanced" in the nation, he says The LCDC checks local plans for consis tency with statewide goals. When they comply, they are approved for development, Liberty says. Thus, the LCDC "forces them (local government planners) to make policy deci sions, be specific in their plans, and do the work.” Both opponents and proponents of the measure claim support from a broad cross section of Oregonians Liberty says "a lot of farmers," including the recently formed group Agriculture Against 6, oppose the measure TT— TV 7-sr y— II ' H 'll " // // n „ II // * NX * I '/ // ^ = " // '// // // " I, ' // // W // // II II ^ \\ // * <* * II » % ^ ^ . «*»;«w % 7 *v '11 * * - - ■•' ^a * * = „" * a. * i - >." // a w \\ * \\ II * // // %* * = V* \".*ll ■" * * ■& ,.
